Kf on carpet
Advice please , ran a kf on carpet and one thing I had problems with was the car whipping round in the tight corners . If I kept the power on slightly it was ok , a few commented they'd had the same problem with there's . The car was fast when I adapted to it , but I'm trying the kf before my kids switch to them . Just a bit concerned they'll struggle with it , just wondering if there's any tips to try and avoid it doing this .
The cars ally chassis in low grip , running 10k in the diff . My other kf was doing the same thing and it has a ball diff in . Also the car was running on foam tyres .

From what you describe, the car is shifting too much weight forward under heavy deceleration, thus loosing grip at the rear. As you say keeping the power on a little helps as is reduces the amount of weight transfer. If this is the case then the easy fix is stiffening the front end a little. Both oil and spring. Also, reducing rear droop can help.
Hope this helps. If not give me a shout with a little more info of the problem and your setup and I'll try to sort you out.

Make sure you have no drag brake too

Also depends on what foam tyres you are using. Are the fronts full width or on slim wheels? Most classes that run foams run a softer shore rating on the rear than the front. If you're using additive this will also affect them depending how much and where you're applying it on the tyre.
Post your full setup and I'm sure one of us can help some more.

I bought the cars second hand , they are just how they came other than 10k diff oil . I plan on stripping them back and renewing any worn parts , as for foams they to came with the car so not sure what they are .
I know it's hard for you guys to call it without the set up , if there's some pointers I can start there and see how they go from there . I do have some new foams to use also , the car was brilliant on the whole going where you pointed it . Outdoor the kf2 was superb .
