Default Car barely turns

I just bought a ECX Torment rc car and when i use it it barely makes the turns and i was wondering if there is anyway to fix it so it makes sharper turns. Thank you!

soften the front suspension and stiffen the rear. softer tires will also help.

It is a setting on the radio, it is the amount travel right and left the steering servo is allowed to execute.

if it can turn normally at low speed then it is a tire or suspension issue. if it turns wide at low speed as well it is a endpoint issue. endpoints are adjusted on the radio. check the manual and there should be something about radio settings.
