Default Set-up Q for 777, need to win this weekend!!

Hey, got a 777 and was running diffs 5-7-3k and driveshafts level with all stock suspension settings and holes, with blue springs and 55 in front, 35wt in rear with stock pistons. I have one of the fastest cars on the track but my car gets unsettled on bumpy turns and flips and traction rolls a lot. What changes to my setup would improve bumpy handling, the dirt is dusty hardpack and I run crimefighters.

I have a red sp1 rear susp plate(don't know the difference) and the 20 deg hub carriers, and bought the sp1 shocks...

Default RE: Set-up Q for 777, need to win this weekend!!

the red plate is one degree
more rear weight transfer on aceleration
less stearing
if you reduce the camber an front and rear you will reduce traction roll "I run about a half of a degree"
also you could try cutting off the outside row of spikes on your tire for less side bite
also try the different holes in your upper c hub and see what works out for you
I like the outside ones no one ever uses and as long as the track isnt too wet I dont have traction roll proublems
