If your not having issues with it rolling on RCP what is your set up.

My set up is
GPM 20* front,
Kyosho 30* radials rear.
SAS w/ stock springs - 2* camber 1* toe
Front is stock plastic 1.5 camber w/ 2 degrees of toe. Stock springs. One .8mm preload spacer.

Thoughts?
Would an overall stiffer set up work better?
You can hear the knuckles clicking on the body when turning. Kinda interesting to hear how much the knuckles move.

Did try 3* camber in the front but that didnt make alot of difference.
I don't have a mclaren or even a 98mm wheel base, but I might be able to help. To me, it sounds like you have too much rear grip. I was having chattering problems in corners, which is due to too much rear grip. If I had any more grip, my MA-010 would be having flipping problems like yours.

When I had chattering problems, this was my rear setup

-2* camber on SAS
-1* toe in on SAS
- Orange springs on SAS

My car now has very little chattering problems, and this is the new rear setup

-2* rear Camber on SAS
-0* toe on SAS
-Red springs in SAS

Tire setup was the same for both.( Stock Ma-010 rear tires, and GPM 15 fronts.) Hope I was of some help
