This is common with tank drives and lot's of sticky wheels on the floor. If you must turn in place, have your software reduce the throttle command so that you are never running full power in turns. If you don't have dropped center wheels, a six wheel and many times a four wheel drive will put drive motors in near stall conditions when turning in place.
