We are using four wheel drive and the frame is the standard from the KOP. Will six wheels really increase the chances of turning?

All of our wheels are getting powered from the two motors.
Yes, plant two powered wheels in the center holes of the KOP frame. Those two holes are lowered, which is why this will work. (You shorten your wheelbase a little bit, which really does help.)
