frustrated

I built one of the tracks that is one the www.xmodsrc.com web site. I cleaned out my garage and have it set up out there. The floor of the garage is real smooth concrete. At first i was running my XMOD rwd. I had heard that the AWD slowed it down and that is messed up the turning radius, so I never got it. When i was running the RWD on the course and it was awesome whipping around the U-turns ( I could go around them at full speed almost), but I had problems with the regular turns. It would spin out everytime unless i compleatly laid off the gas. So i broke down and went out and got the AWD. As far as speed goes it's awesome. If anything its faster because its not spinning comeing off the line. I can take the regular turns fine (a little bit of under stearing), but i can't take the U-turns anymore. I've tried all differn't tires, springs and tie rods. I've taken it apart many times and i can't understand how the turning radius is different. With rwd with out any spinning it was about 2.5-4 feet (depending on set up), with awd its about 5 feet. I can't understand it. Its frustrating because all i want to do is race around my track and i can't. If you can help please reply.
