Back on topic though. Some one asked if i wanted more roll but this is where i get a little confused. I thought having the car roll more allowed it to keep traction longer before breaking loose.

You would think after being in the hobby for 25 years i would get roll center. I tend to just follow what the fast guys do! ( yes i know thats a bad idea)
You will want to make some adjustments to work along with the perched ESC. If you are running a high roll center right now and put an ESC shelf in it will more quickly roll to the limit and jack the car beyond the traction potential of the rear tires. Try running a longer link or raise the inside camber link mounting location. There are tons of interactions and timing in all of this. Wrapping your head around it completely isn't particularly easy. If it were, everyone would be running perfectly tuned cars.
