So overall, very fast, very smooth on bumps/jumps, just this oversteer to sort out!!

I don't rate LiPo in rear-saddle cars personally but I know a lot of people have made the change. Some like the extra steering it creates, others have gone a fair bit softer on the rear to get the balance back.
As for your setup - 1.4 is a pretty heavy bar, in my experience (not that it is worth much) a bar like that on a buggy can make the car do some funny things over the bumps and the jump approaches. If I run a bar I normally make it soft enough that I don't "feel" the bar when driving (if you can get your head around what I mean).
If you haven't done so already, try the front shocks on the outer hole of the wishbone with the black springs. I have also tried running an AE blue spring on the front, in the inner wishbone hole, that also helps with the oversteer although perhaps not quite as effective. The "issue" (if it is one) with running on the outer hole is that you lose quite a lot of droop, it takes away a bit of that silky-smooth ride quality the car has, but makes it a bit more chuckable on the smooth stuff. I might try and combine the kit setting with a front bar at some point.
Also I am a bit worried by your breakages list! Either you are a brutal driver or I have been very lucky! All the parts seem nice and chunky to me and are made of a relatively flexible composite.
