ONce again: Stupid MotorWorks question, and yet another review.

Went to the evil Wallmart this weekend and bought a Motor Works (black muscle car / pony car thing) in the square package. I searched the boards, but couldn't find anything about my questions.

My turning diameter is like 1.5 - 2 feet. I can't tell if it's under-steer from lack of steering movement, or if I'm overpowering the front traction. Is this normal, or did I buy a bad one? I've managed to get it to over-steer some, and was even able to do ground-loops; so, maybe once I get the motor broken in, it'll be better. (same surface a stock MS will do about 6" circle)

I also have problems with this thing wanting to turn left in reverse. Once again, is it good bad or normal?
----
My review of this one.
-Seems to have great power!
-I like that they come with some tires and body stuff.
-I really like the clip-in axle, WITH an extra axle retainer clip to cover it better than the Bit-style. (When I wear it out, less hassle to keep playing)
-Gears mesh kinda loudly, but tolerable. I've had bullets that were much worse.
-The axle is just about 1/16" longer than stock bit, and mine came with white gears. (6 tooth pinion, 7 tooth idler, or = MicroSizer Orange gear)
-Bit-clone stabilizer-bar attachment needs some modification to fit, but should fix turning radus.
-On a single cell, it can smoke my dual-cell semi clone. (fastest I've got)
-Box-stock, it's *WAY* better straight-line acceleration than my MS or other clones. However handling leaves a bit to be desired.
- PCB cover not ment for removal / installation.

Overall, pretty decent. Except for steering!
-----------
Next micro RC will either be: a MotorWorks truck to make into a tow-truck/wrecker, a ZZ RX8 and the "musclecar bodyset", or Awesome RC nitrous bottle car.
