Yea, I found orange ones right after and ordered those. Forgot a couple things on the amain order and was able to add them along with some orange M3 and M4 nuts, the orange Durango turnbuckles, and most importantly, the Losi filter for the new body. There will be orange everywhere 
The weight thing was purely a joke.

It does add up a little if you do enough of them, I got aluminum all over my Tekno RCs and never bent or broke any of them and if you've seen my basher videos you know I'm not easy on them.

). Thinking about it, the interior lighting on my Mustang is purple, hmm, ok, judge away.

Yep, same experience as myself. Couple of things that helped for me were running a heavy flywheel. Was running an ultra light Fioroni swapped it out to a weight adjustable M2C, night and day difference, but this only worked cos my engine is super strong on the bottom and too much for light buggy. Also I shorten the wheelbase, which is similar to adding more front droop in that it transfers weight rearward on acceleration, but doesn't affect cornering like altering droop does. I think mo setup has 3 mm in front of hub, I run 2 or 1. This will also give slightly more toe in, but that helps the cause anyway.
I run the Losi clutch as Mo suggest in his setup. Will changing to the stock clutch help my situation a little more? I will shorten the wheel base to start with. And I about to leave work and break the whole car down to review if I have the setup correct.
Also if anyone could help guide me on how to adjust the suggested setting on my M12 that would be great. Im going to try to read the manual but I understand better when someone explains something to me.

Thanks to all you guys who have responded with great suggestions. I have a M12 radio and honestly its a bit much for me to understand the other functions other than reducing the Epa. Im not sure about what expo does. And I would love to slow the speed of the steering but I just dont understand how to do it on this radio without hurting sometime else. On my Futabu it was very easy to make all adjustments.

I use a futaba but you should be able to adjust steering servo speed and steering expo with any good racing radio. If you are new or still not real smooth w the throttle or steering than using negative expo on both is great and may help you with the rear stepping out too. If your motor has TONS of bottom, then start with -20 throttle expo and see if that helps at all. With steering, theres Dual Rate, Servo Speed, and Expo and futaba has a couple others but if I were you I would first try -10 or -15 steering expo, this will make the steering less responsive initially. the best way i can help you visualize this is, imagine you are on the straight and you intend to make only a small adjustment but the car reacts way more than intended, the negative expo will help slow down that initial input. basically if you are a spaz or twitchy or nervous, its like a xanax for steering, itll calm it down a bit haha, no idea if that makes sense to you but the best thing to do is go out and try it. Ive spent hours reading the futaba manual and everytime i read it i find new tricks and ways to help with nitro cars specifically.

Once again thanks for all the advice. I actually found expo on my radio. I did reduce steering to -20. I also found that I had my toe plate too tight and when I moved my rear hubs forward I noticed that I had that hinge pin too tight ass well. We will be club racing tonight so I'm going to see if this has helped

I was trying to figure out a nice clean way of mounting the switch and my old transponder (too cheap to buy a new hybrid when all of my old ones are still working) while making it easy to plug/unplug the battery and came up with this. I drilled a hole in the top of the rear cover so the switch can be mounted without trimming any ears or using servo tape. In theory, the wires are tight enough that they cant snag on the throttle linkage but also have enough slack to allow for chassis flex. We'll see how that works out. I may be able to figure out a wire mount (one of these perhaps) of some sort that would attach to the receive box lid just behind the transponder.
Edit: added the wire guides to the order. Looks like I can mount one where the button head is right in front of the switch and the other right behind the transponder like mentioned earlier.

Yesterday when I sent you a pm, it didn't go though like it said it did. I tried again this morning and it said you have it set to not receive private messages. You can fix this by clicking on User CP at the top left of this page, when the page opens look to the left of the page and you will see Your Control Panel, look down until you see Edit Options and click on it, the next page you will look down until you see the Private Messaging section. In that section you will want to put a check mark in the first and third box. The forth box depends on your preference to check mark it or not.
