Many things to try/do; here there are in order of cost and ease:

1) Upgrade the front tires to something more sticky then the stock front fronts, which I believe are 50s. That alone may do it.

2) Add a ball differential. The stock D is almost useless at high cornering loads

3) Spin the tires with your hand. Do both wheels turn freely? If not you have to clean out the front axels. This is a design flaw in the d'NaNo, in that getting at the front axles requires a fair bit of work to disassemble the front end. (Shaving the top of the pin that engages the tie rod slider, makes it easier to "pop off" the front wheels without disassembling the entire front suspension.). While you are at it, add ball bearings to the front and make sure they are oriented properly. You want both wheels to turn freely. Any binding will cause push or tweak to one side.

4) (Advanced) ...increasing the steering servo "holding power" via the optional ICS cable has helped me correct push that is caused by the servo not being set strong enough to hold the wheels during lateral acceleration.
