I race on a grass "track" with another 1/8 buggy. I have trouble making turns at any speed b/c the buggy tends to flip over. Is there any setup tips/tire suggestions that will allow a certain degree of sliding of the rear to allow me to swing the front around for quicker turns?
FYI, I have an XTM X-Terminator.

We race on grass all the time here in the UK, you need minimum droop, slightly stiffer shocks, minimum toe out and tyres designed for running on grass eg Medial Pro Turbo Rats

no camber in the rear helps alot, also worn out tyres on the back helps too. stiffer springs in the rear, lower the ride hight in the rear, lower your shocks ( most inner hole on the shock tower on the top holes, and most outter on the lower arm)
cant think what else atm

ofna has a tire called the excel which is great for grass. Set your droop to arms level. I would run with front toe set to 0 degrees with 0 degrees of camber. In the rear one degree of toe in and one degree of camber. I would use medium rate springs.
