nothing but donuts

ok, this is getting annoying. my car does go straight when i'm not turning, but as soon as i turn, the car spins out. i can tap the left or right a bunch of times to turn so it won't spin, but then it takes about a full 2 feet to make a left turn. i want to build a track, but i think it would be pointless if all i'm going to be doing is donuts.

any suggestions?

Well u can check the steering thing on the bottom of the car, and adjust that. Or it maybe because it has too much power right when it comes of the charger thats why it does donuts. When it takes longer too turn it may be because its running low on life, or is starting to go out of range. Hope that helps!

i think you misread. the car goes straight. it's not the steering correction switch. it does donuts the whole time til it dies. and when i mean it takes longer to turn, i'm doing that on purpose. i just tap the left or right and let off of it, and do it repeatedly to turn without doing donuts. that's the only way to prevent it from doing donuts, but then the turns are wider.

i don't see why that would make a difference. and i have them. it did donuts all the time when i had the stock magnet, and it still does it with the rare earth magnets.

i've got hard in the back and soft in the front, but it still did it when i had mediums all around. i've run it on linoleum, hardwood floors, slate, table cloths... basically everything, and it's always spinning out when i turn.
