a wee bit of tech advice is needed if possible,,,,,,,, right i have loads of grip but on the odd time i push the buggy past that and the grip drops to zero,,,,, now my question is what can i do if any thing too have a gentle drop off of grip so as least it is in control and not a wipe out, as i know i can push this buggy real hard but tend to not push 100% as i hate it dropping off the grip as quick as it does
any advice would be great advance thanks

I am not sure what grip you are referring to (Forward Bite, Side Bite). If you are talking about side bite. I would try increasing your camber a little. I have found that if the caber isn't correct the car will have plenty of side bite... then suddenly lose traction.

After tires I would try a little less front grip with some of the rear changes that have been suggested. More front droop, less aggressive akerman hole, more caster/kickup, less toe out or maybe a larger sway bar. In the rear you can try a shorter wheel base, shorter camber link, lower the inner camber link, heavier rear diff fluid. Thinner center diff fluid may also help.
If it where me I would try free simple things first like a front akerman change and shorter wheelbase, or maybe a some more front droop and a camber link change.
Take a little steering away and try getting a little more on power grip.

I had this happening too, under power out of a corner if it got too much throttle it would 180. The most effective thing I came across was a thicker front swaybar combined with shorter wheelbase. Took away a bit of steering, but helped the grip under power. Give the shorter wheelbase a try even if you don't have the thicker sway bar yet.

Make sure you put the washer that comes with the kit above the tank....
It should be:
screw
washer
tank
fuel line
double O-rings
tank mounting post....
That's How I have it.

That's probably high enough to negatively affect handling when full
And how do you fit a stock body over that? Mine rubs at the tanks factory height

I don't run the o rings though on mine as the fuel tube is enough I have found

Plus I'd rather deal with changing my setup before settling with A DNF.
Here's a pic with my body on...
