Arise from the dead 415 thread!

Need some help with fixing some oversteering issues I am having with my 415. I am running it in VTA/VTC with the HPI vintage tyres.

The track I am racing on is outdoors asphalt which is a tight, small low grip track. And racing is at night. I'm running a Reedy 21.5T brushless motor in it.

My current setup is:

Front and rear springs: yellow
Front and rear sway bars: yellow
Shock oil (both front and rear): 40 wt
Front shock tower hole: 2nd in from the middle
Rear shock tower hole: 2nd in from the end
Shock plate: 3 holes

Front toe out: 2 deg
Front camber: -1.5 deg
Front caster: 4 deg

Rear Toe in: 2.5deg (XA front block, 1D rear)
Rear camber: -1.5

Front diff: spool
Rear diff: 3 Racing gear diff with 1500wt oil

Front droop: 5mm
Rear droop: 5.5mm

Ride height
Front: 5mm
Rear: 5.5mm

Most of the issue comes from power on oversteer coming out of corners, especially left handers. I have to be careful with the throttle or it spins like a top. Now I know the HPI Vintage tyres are supposed to be a bit crap in regards to grip, and racing at night (especially winter down here) with no tyre warmers is crazy, but the rest of the class can get away with it without too much trouble or handling issues in corners.

If anyone has some tips or ideas for me to try out, that would be great. Thanks
