Default C4.1 breaking out

Hi,
Here in Holland we race at clubs outside on asphalt circuits with stock corally 27T rebuildable , and with 19T free motor choice.
My Corally c4.1 keeps on breaking out, when coming out of a corner.
my setup is:
front: oil 30W/springs White (hard) all pistons open
toe in: 0,5 / camber1,5
rear: oil 20W /springs orange (soft)/all pistonholes open
toe in: 2,5 / camber 2
shock position: most out (straight)
tires: HPI B15-40 (obligatory), rear soft inserts/front hard.
Any suggestions what to do to prevent it breaking out on the rear, are welcome!

Try running less camber on the rear.

lay the rear shocks over 1 hole at a time on the shock tower

I think that you can put on the front shocks softer springs (such as the orange) and on the rear harder (such as white) and use all the four inserts of the same stiffness (It sims a contradiction but it works well on my C.4.1) and put down of 1/2 hole the rear shocks position.

Fede, actually I use the same kind of set-up with my C4AG. Orange springs on the front and yellow in the rear.

thx guys, for the advise
I will try the orange on front /white on rear.
however, i'll have to wait a couple of days because my rear diff is not 100%. the small thrust bearing in the long output shaft was broken. also one of the pivot pins at the bottom is not straight anymore.
all this can also be the reason for bteaking out, though?
I've ordered the parts, so I'll be in time for the race next sunday.

If you don't have any rear diff action or it's not smooth, then that's probabely the reason for your break-outs. And if the pivot pins have knocked out your setup then that probably add's to it. I'm now running Xray pins in place of the lower rear corally pins on my C4AG, the corally pins were way to soft(they were the only weakness on the whole dam car though).
