Alright XXX-S fans, I need setup help, and fast!

I'm running in this brushless class here at the Novak race, and with all of the foam tires being run, the track is really bad for the rubber tire cars. With what I am running right now, it pushes badly for the first minute, is dialed in until about 3:30 and then starts to traction roll. The heats/mains are 6 minutes long each, at close-to-mod speeds.

Any idea on where to go with it? I'm afraid that if I take away steering, it will just make the car un-driveable at the beginning of the heat.

Here's what I have right now:

Front -
Purple Springs / 70 wt
One-way differential
6* caster
Losi mid-roll blocks
2F mount
shock #2 hole on tower
camber link #2 hole on tower
.060 swaybar
-1* camber
droop 3mm

Rear -
Silver springs / 60 wt
2.5* toe-in each side (non-offset)
low roll center
2R mount
shock #3 hole on tower
camber link #4 hole on tower
shock outer hole on arm
camber link outer hole on hub (hole B)
-1* camber
droop 5mm

Ride height 5mm all around
Hand out tires are Take Off 27s
Motor is a Nvoak SS5800 brushless, 128/32 gearing (7.32 final)
Body is a Stratus 2.1

If anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears! The traction rolls are my number one concern, obviously there is a driving component in this as well, but right now the car is right on the edge of rolling over everywhere around the track after the 4 minute mark. It sucks.
