Sounds like you need better tyres/suspension.

The only recommended way of disabling the ETC system is to disconnect terminal 27 from the ABS/ETC Control Module connector YE98, circuit 1427, Black/White wire (actual torque). This is to be achieved by withdrawing terminal 27 from connector YE98 and taping the wire back to the main wiring harness. This will disable the ETC system while maintaining normal ABS operation.
If the ETC system is disabled, the TRAC OFF warning lamp in the instrument cluster will be permanently illuminated when the ignition is on and Diagnostic Trouble Code 74 will be logged. At no time must the ‘TRAC OFF’ warning lamp be disconnected as its function is to advise the driver that this safety feature is not available.

cut pin B11 at ecu, black/white trace.

that will disable traction control (if it has it) the wire will be there if it has it or not, this will also illuminate the light on dash permanently,

just reading through this question, my vt senator manual is the same thing, you can rev it dump it and just get a little chirp from the tyres.
this wire that can be cut/disconnected, i guess you could put in a switch of your own so as to be able to activate in times of need like wet weather or on the track?
did this fix the non wheel spinning issues for anyone?
