Drivetrain issues

If you have 8 traction wheels on the ground at a time you will be putting a ton of strain on your motors. Try raising the end wheels up 1/8 to 1/4 inch. This will shorten your effective wheelbase making skid style turning easier.

Since their frame is already machined I would rather suggest adding strips of roughtop tread to your center 4 wheels or shave off the end 4 as Bharat suggested. Wheel scrub can be a pain if you're flat on all 8 all the time. Either way you'd be raising your end 4 up.

Don't know what size you are using, but you can do what team 134 did- http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35102?

Replace four traction wheels with KoP or slick wheels.

Good luck.
