No, a bit more steering to be precise, the Proline M3 wears a bit more, but has a lot of grip. It is important to buy the slim one though.
Note that these type of tracks change throughout the day, I practically never change my set-up radically during the day, but with this set-up I started with blue springs up front, a few hours later green and drove the finals with the silver spring.
Don't try to use things like 25° caster or lead up front to increase steering on dirt/sand/clay.
One thing to increase steering is braking combined with good throttle control, always best

You lack rear end grip, is this because you hit the throttle too hard and too soon, or is this compared to other cars? If the track is quite fast, the bigger and higher spoiler will help (in fact I was using the X-6 wing ànd X-6 wing mounts on 1 very low grip track).
Try to smoothen up the power with this:
- Smaller rotor
- ESC settings
- Bigger pinion/smaller spur gear

A part of the rear end grip could be improved by using a yellow spring at the back or using some lead behind the rear shock tower: http://picasaweb.google.be/bnkoffroa...26755813847362 , just cut out a small plate of lead going from the rear toe-in brace up to the roll center screws, make some holes in it and attach it to the tower using the small holes just underneath the roll center screws.
