The reason for my ever so slightly sarcastic tone is because as others have mentioned, you've given no indication as to what your setup is at present, or what you're trying to achieve!

Do you just want a straight line launch - i.e. as in drag racing? Are you looking for a car that will handle well on a course laid out on sand?
You're trying to achieve something very difficult as the surface you're "racing" on is constantly shifting. If you regard grains of sand as miniature ball bearings, and you're trying to get grip on this, then you're going to have a hard time indeed.

As long as your diffs and slipper are set as they should be (and it's hard to explain to a newcomer how that should be - better off getting someone at your local club to show you) the secret to getting your car not to snake is going to be more to do with your inexperienced thumbs rather than any main setup feature.

Try experimenting too - it's a good way to learn - rather than hoping someone can wave the magic wand to your problem. Someone else may be able to benefit from your findings - not that many people race on sand I imagine as it's hardly an ideal racing surface.......
