Nitro-Racer,

Check your ride height and droop. If the car is spinning out that badly you may be losing traction with one of the rear tires. This may be due to the chassis bottoming out or not enough droop and one of the tires is losing contact with the track surface. I generally start with a ride height of 6MM rear and 5MM front. On droop I set 1-2MM front and 2-4MM rear depending on how hard or soft my shock and spring combo is setup. Hope this helps.
