You can also super glue the side walls of the tires to both stiffen them a little and to make them slide instead of grab during a turn. After cleaning the tires, my car was flipping on tight turns. After super glue, no more flipping. Same track as the posted video.

Note that my car wasn't traction rolling until I cleaned the tires off. No other changes were made to the setup. For the 3rd main, I super glued the side walls and used no traction compound, and didn't flip once in 15 minutes, and finished 4th in the 3rd round.
