What surface? Astro or Grass? Losi shocks?

Is your current setup from the Ellis setup sheet that comes with the kit?

You don't say what tyres, so will assume staggers and either yellow mini or ballistic greens (depending on the pile of the astro).

I have found that adding washers under the front camber position helps to increase mid/exit corner steering. You could also add some more weight in the servo area.

Also make sure that your servo saver isn't unloading - most folks either glue or use an alloy replacement part. To me, this is really important as the car feels much more direct when this is done.

Is the back really locked in when exiting the corner? You could try removing the outer row of spikes from the rear tyres (to get more rotation) or moving the hub back (LWB). Moving the shocks out on the tower will help with steering in the rear and may also benefit the bumpy sections of your track. You could also try running the 3 degree toe block if you have plenty of rear grip under power.
