Try:

- Front uprights: make sure that Left is C1 and Right is C2. It will lower the front roll center (if you had it opposite.)
- Raise the rear roll center. It will have a more gentle entrance then break loose in the mid-corner.
- If your track is low traction, remove the rear swaybar. I learned that because of the low traction, the rear tires won't reach the peak slip angle. With a rear sway-bar, the weight will be transferred to the outside of the tire, thereby increasing the rear grip. So remove it!
- Mount all shocks on outer-most holes (but it will be more twitchy.) Usually whenever I try this, I need to use the TA04 10deg. castor blocks to smoothen it out again.
- Play around with the steering exponential on your radio.
- Flip the steering rack backwards to change the ackerman (but you may scrub corner speed.)
- Make sure you have the right tires! (this car is very sesnsitive to different tires and inserts, like any other car!)
