Looks like you were too narrow in the rear. we found when the track gets a lot of grip we need to stiffen the front of the kart. Try to raise the front of the kart add the front bar narrow the front and widen the back.
With the short wheel base, the rear ride height high, and rear narrow you had a bunch of rear grip.
DO you also run an am 29? the previous 2 weeks this set up worked great. our best finishes with this chassis.
P S we will test the set up you suggested. always glad of any help. thanks.

We run an AM 29 and an AR 28. Cameron likes both. We use the 28 for Rotax
Try to start with rear width at 52, fr 2 .5 spacers + 1/2 caster. if it turns in good but pushes coming off add the front bar, and or raise the chassis in the front. If it will not turn in try more caster
We run the rear low and long
Where do you have the seat placement?
We run a 4 stroke. our rear width is kimited to 59 inches.

I would go max width in the rear, then mess with the front, ride height, bar, ect
