I wondered if I could get a variety of generic setup/ equipment causes to cause the rear inside wheel to lift when cornering. (like grip roll, but usually the early feeling of it, where it lifts and diffs out/ makes the car spin out)

I know that supergluing the tire sidewall can help this, but I want to make my car work without gluing them, as the feeling of gluing the tires to me, makes the car feel slower and offers less potential for fast laps..

The one very good thing I have found to help, is to remove some caster and camber.

Thanks guys.
Less caster and/or camber does help but also stiffer front springs and/or softer rear side springs.

Also if it's doing this, come in and pop off one of the damper tubes and go back out. If it's better, you are too thick on the fluid. Rebuild them both with something lighter.

Also, if your spur/pinion combo has the motor way back in the pod, go to a bigger spur and pinion for the same rollout.
