You're never going to get that kind of steering out of an 1/8th scale buggy.

There are lots of ways to improve the steering. You can remove the front sway bar. Use lighter fluid in front and use less rebound. If using the aluminum inline spindles/carriers, you can remove grind some material (about 2mm) off the spindles to allow more turning. It's a common upgrade that the Losi drivers make. Last week I had my 8ight turning real sharp (on par with an RC8Be), with no sway bar and lighter fluid up front, but it came at the cost of less rear traction.
