Softer tyres and a ball diff will help massively.

You are probably finding that it spins just with hard acceleration. Thats the standard crappy diff for you.

Suspension may help on an uneven surface. I found the standard Kyosho friction shock doesn't do anything. (Thats my opinion, i am not a racer yet).

Hope this helps

Does it just like to spin 1 way, or either direction? Make sure your wheel nuts aren't too tight and binding the wheels. If it is spinning out just 1 way, you need to tweak your H plate, I'll tell you how if that's your problem...alot of explaining by me to be done in that case
