And suggestions on what to do with the links etc to stop it doing this?

I just sold my Cougar for this thinking that it would be better. But so far all I've done is struggle and results have dropped big time.
Firstly, what springs, pistons and oils are you running? On a carpet track on mini pins, I would start on 4 hole 55s in the front with 37.5wt oil with Blue springs and 6 hole 55s in the rear with kit yellow springs and 30 - 32.5wt oil

I would then start by raising the rear inner camber link and possibly shortening the link on the hub. Try 2mm spacer on the inside and 3mm on the hub - either the C hole on the hub or the E hole if you want it more locked in.

What you describe is also what I found with the LRC rear block - which is why I like the HRC block. I just found HRC blocks are more consistent throughout the entire turn.

I'd also add TLR4151 weight to the gearbox / shock tower and, for high bite, I would be looking to run my car quite heavy with an under lipo weight as well.

For info, whenever I have run on carpet at Taplow or Maritime, I ended up cutting 2 rows off the outside and 2 rows off the inside. You might still be over tyred on the front if you have only cut 2 outer rows possibly.
