What's the rest of your setup? I had a similar problem a few months back at one particular track, turns out the rear was rolling too much, and 'dumping' it's grip. Going to 1mm shims under the rear lower arm balls solved the problem.

is that for 21.5 blinky?
waiting for my mount to arrive and do you think a 17/18 pinion will fit ok as well as we also run 21.5 turbo so looking at around 4.5 fdr for that and around 3 or lower for blinky 21.5

I run 17.5t blinky and a 44 with a 26 pinion gives you 3.05 fdr I will have to church how big you can go maybe 27-28 pinion also can try a 17 on it see if that also fit

Yes and yes, IMO. Uncut arms are for mega high traction, cut will work better 95% of the time.
