Go with long wheelbase and maybe reduce the caster to see if you get better steering. What rear upper arm position you're using? Long, Middle, Short?

Btw the problem is at corner entry.

The Pinks are stiffer than the Reds.
What steering ackerman are you using on the car?

Any suggestion how to make my MRX4-R to rotate ( carry corner speed ) faster ?
I find my car is slow at medium and low speed corners.
I'm using 5.5 rear susp. block and A steering ackerman with all white springs.

Depending on the track / layout you run at, if D or A Ackerman is extreme as I described above, use the B or C ackerman to find your sweet spot.
There are few other things you can do to gain steering from the car...
- What Shock Oil do you have right now?
- Do you have the new Rear Floating Body Mount on the car?
- Front body mount?
Its good to see you're planning to try the new MSR Whip because you will gain steering with this body, yet maintaining overall stability.
Note: you will need to use the long Front Body post for the MSR Whip.

Quite amazing to hear you have not enough steering on an MRX-4R compared to the rest of the cars mentioned. Where we're at the MRX-4r have the most steering, almost to a point of oversteer.
If the advise you get here is still not enough steering for you.... i think you should check your controller EPA!
