Stupid tuning question... When the rear end is loose in the corners... I combat this with? I tried raising the ride height and it seemed to get a bit worse but I ran out of time at the track to go lower.. SO is a lower ride height the trick for loose corners.. Rear is like tebo's set up...

well, a good start would be to try to lighten it up. even 4oz of weight will make a huge difference. you can switch to performance parts, sometimes spendy, to get better performance. switching to a brushless motor system will increase power and speed but is expensive.
Probably your tires are not good... 90% of the set-up is tires for this truck! If you stumpble upon the right tire it will be obvious!

Never been to Lake in thr Hills. Might have to make a trip after the Chi-Town Shootout.
Does it only spin out in one direction? Mine was doing that....had a brand new servo that wouldnt center on tight turns in the right direction only. Put in a different servo and it was perfect. I ususally set my diff per the instructions in the kit. Tighten it down just enough so that I can not turn it by hand while hold the outdrives with small bladed screwdrivers. I install the diff in the truck and break it in by pulling light throttle for 30 second (wheels off ground) then I hold the one wheel in the air and the other on touching the ground for another 30 sec then switch wheels. Usually after that I tighten the diff just a bit. I adjust the slipper so that when I grab full throttle the front tires pop off the ground 2-3 inches. To do this I hold one tire with my hand and use the bottom of my radio to hold the other wheel so I can have my trigger finger free for throttle input. I mostly run 17.5 and I have no issues with getting the front tires off of the ground.

IF the diff is too tight would that cause the rear end to slide? The arms are free and dont bind on anything.. would it be beneficial to add some more wieght or shift my battery more rear-ward... I also think I am getting a bit more push threw in the corners than i would like too... I think a bit more drag brake can cure that though....

Are you using any traction compound on that dry dirt?? When my track starts to dry it gets real slick! I use sticky kicks in Rojo and the tires come back to life!

My truck is planted with Tebos set up, the only change i had to make was get the front end from diving in the corners by moving the shocks out on the bottom in the front. Now its PLANTED!
