Ran through 5 packs the other day at my local track. The track was outdoors, hard packed/bone dry and dusty. Started the day running the box stock setup, but was getting a lot of off-power oversteer. On-power, the car felt really good, rotated great and jumps were surprisingly easy. A couple other guys also noticed the same thing with their cars and started adding brass weights to the rear. I decided to take a different direction. I went from -2 camber in the rear to -3 and took out the long rear brace in the rear and put in the short one. The truck was quicker, but the oversteering problem didn't completely go away. Here's my setup sheet for my best run, and got me to within 1s of the fast guys that were also there.
Next time out, I'll try reducing the front toe to 1 (or 0 depending on how it goes). I also got some JConcepts Dirt Webs for the front to bring the front grip down a bit in these conditions. If that doesn't work, I'll look at taking out the rear sway bars or putting some green springs on the front shocks and/or increasing front sway bar thickness.
