On a separate note, my truggy hates to turn. It is ridiculous how bad it pushes under power. I moved the spacers to the back on the rear carriers to shorten the wheelbase. I have the 2mm wheel extenders for full throw. Currently running the long ackerman. Running stock diff fluid setup. I just replaced my servo saver, the old one was played out. That helped a little. The truck is pretty much stock setup.

Here is how I have to turn; accelerate down the straight, approach the turn, slam the wheel to the stops, mash the brakes, throw the wheel the other way and than hammer the gas. If I don't do it right, I can kiss two seconds goodbye getting the thing lined up. The truck will not steer its way through a turn in a racing manner. I have to drive it like I hate it.
Definately give the short ackerman a shot.You should have gottin both in your kit. Mine use to do the same thing as your describing now it turns on a dime.
