I am looking for ideas to get more grip on power, the track has two areas I want to improve the set-up, a tight hair pin where when I punch the power the car pushes wide. and a longish sweep where again it can push wide.

try matching your stabilisers either softer front or harder rear. actually test with 1.2 all round and again with 1.4 all round. for me i find much better car balance whenever i run like this!! especially with throttle input!! let me know how you go!!
