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)

You may well have it figured out my friend
I was using a fresh pair of MOBGUMS double pinks on the front, and yellows on the rear.... I was advised this would be a good starting point for 1/12th on carpet as 10.5 stock spec?
I did apply CS High Grip compound, the usual process of coating the rears first following by the front later, however I applied the compound to 100% on the rears, and 75% on the fronts.... I was looking at Olly Jefferies spec sheet for Ardent... was 75% perhaps too much?
The car feels very well balanced, its just that when Im turning on the the Radio (Stick) I feel like the steering servo has too much range, producing an oversteer effect?
Ps. Thanks for the link trev.
