....maybe try a 10turn motor with those tamiya 'D' tyres.
gearing @ around 28p/93s. approx 7.0 final ratio.
should settle it down enuff to be able to steer. :-)
[depending on your tranny ratio of course, usually 2.something]

it might be the fun you''re loooking for. ;-)

just go to your local hardware store buy 1 metre of pvc pipe and cut into 26mm tyres, once you have mastered pvc you will be able to drift with most other tyres.
