and i would still keep it 4wd correct?

where you turning at full speed?
Try telling your programers to make the wheels spin in opposite directions when turning.

also you might want to consider sliding the wheels closer together to get smoother turning it really helped us out since we had a 4wd robot last year that jumped around like a bull

this year just with replacing tires and moving the wheels closer it turns like an RC car
