The way I learned to set my steering on a 1/12th car, was to set the max steering so I could do a complete circle/donut in one lane of the track - and that way steering is set dependent on lane width - so, if you used less than 1-full lane then you need to lower the percentage on the dual rate on your transmitter (I've NEVER needed 100%, usually 70% was a good starting point).
Otherwise, if you're still suffering from oversteer it tells me you might have too soft a tire on the front (or too hard a compound on the rear, or even matching compounds), as it's been my experience that most cars perform better with with harder compound tires on the front compared to the rear.
I don't know if you're using traction comound/tyre goop, but I've found that most guys suffering from oversteer used too much on their front tyres (I hardly ever use any on the front, usually rears only).
Also, if your diff is set too tight it can show as oversteer (even on carpet you need a little slippage)
