better driver !!
Practice , learning the fine tunning aspects of the car or cars your driving and setting them up for your personal driving demands. ( running Pro drivers set ups might not help you much personaly)but are very good set up starting points .. Practice , build confidence in your self and race as much with traffic as you can ..

Preparation is also important; Ensuring that your TX wont run out of juice or a wheel falls of make a difference... Stuff like that.

Something that has helped me out this year is practicing when there are less skilled drivers on the track and following them .this has helped me to learn more control by not just tryin to pass them right away ,instead slowing down a little and waiting for the right time.I must say this has made me a little more consistent due to the fact that I am able to control the car a little better and not hit into the walls because of impatience.The same for a better skilled driver try to follow them it may help in learning a line and you may pick up something that they are doing that your not. this worked for me.

you know
PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE and a cool avitar like sns820 
and a set up that you are comfertable with that makes the car react the way you want it to. Remember set up A dont work for Driver B in most cases But you can always use the A set up to have a good base starting point. everybody drives differant

Don't keep screwing with your setup.... Get a good neutral setup and learn how to drive... If it's pushing, learn to compensate... Same goes for oversteer.... You aren't always going to have the perfect setup anyway.... After that, practice... Practice... Practice... Try timing your laps.... Even try videotaping your practice sessions.... I used to do that years ago when I raced off road seriously... Funny I don't do that now, video camera's are much smaller than they huge camera I had....

-practice, if you dont practice there is no way you can understand the following points
- setup, a good setup is half of the work, you only have to concentrate on the driving, thats why 1:12 is/was so popular.
- car driving ability
- prepared equipment
- and most important, have social contacts

Practicing is best, but just running your car a lot won't necessarily make you a better driver. You have to realize the things you are doing right as well as what you are doing wrong when driving, so that you can adjust. Having someone else watch you run can be really helpful, as other people can sometimes notice what you are doing wrong and give advice: entry into corners, lines, throttle control, ect.
