Hmmm...something is definately wrong here. Make sure that the throttle trim is set to low. This will give you a better turning radius. I dont have much expertice in this field. So I think that other people may know what is wrong.

i figured out how to fix the AWD problem. if you put the stock A arms in the front and back that should fix it. thats what fixed mine

THe AWD replacement A-arms on the front have increased caster so the turns are a bit less sharp, but more manegable.

Also the LSD (limited slip differnetial) in the AWD kit is very stiff so it pushes the front through turns (understeer or pushing).

make sure all your wheels spin freely. misaligned bearings/bushings, hair, and/or dirt can affect the turning ability. oh yeah, many awd kits have front A arms and rear swing arms that aren't made very well and thus limits suspension travel, just FYI. i stuck with the stock arms

it does? it's supposed to be identical other than color and lack of quality control

if you lube the LSD with the gear grease it works great
