This has been driving me nuts for a couple weeks now and has got to the point where I have to nail the brakes to lock up the rear and whip the back end around and hopefully come out facing the exit as straight as possible. It simply will not turn. On high speed turns, it dialed though.

Shocks are layed down front and rear. 27 1/2 weight oil all around, 25mm ride heigh all around. Short camber links in the front, middle in the rear. I run soft aka rebars on all fours.
You need to shorten the rear camber links. You need a higher rear roll center. You could also use a rear sway bar or potentially even both depending on how well it gets set up. Another option is to run long camber links in front. Typically rear motor buggies like a much lower roll center in front than rear. The rear needs more roll stiffness than the front since far more weight is back there than the front.
