Default set-up help

I need some set up advice with my M05.
I run on an asphalt track prepped with grape soda and sugar, traction is usually pretty good. Last night the car was bad.
One lap the car would traction roll, then would slide out the next.
My current set-up:
TCS legal
M05 Long wheel base
gear diff WAS almost locked, I have gone back to a diff packed with anti wear grease. Tight but not locked
Type A slicks with firm inserts front and rear
toe out set by .5mm spacer about 3 deg out
Ride height approx. 5mm front, 5.5-6mm rear
Tamiya alu shocks built to instructions
3 hole pistons front and rear
40 front 30 rear shock fluid
yellow springs front, red rear

Would like to eliminate the traction roll, gain a little more rear traction but not reduce on power turn in too much.
