Default RE: Entry Level Drifter Build

So I've got my setup... i'm using a Trinity 15x2 speed gems motor on stock TT-01 gearing with the Tamiya drift tires on asphalt... I've got the tamiya CVA oil filled shocks with the rear on medium springs and the front with soft springs, ball bearings, metal motor mount, motor heat sing, adjustable tie rods, novak XRS esc, alum prop shaft.

I'm still sort of tuning it but i'm having a slight problem with understeer at higher speeds... at lower speeds you can use the throttle to break the rear end loose but at higher speeds the engine doesn't have the power to break the rear lose... i want to be able to use weight transfer to fix the situation where letting off the throttle or tapping the break allow the front end to grip and start to bring the rear around... I'm very new to this and I can tell i have alot to learn about car setup.

Any ideas/tips?
