I installed a spectrum receiver in it and Im using a DX3R and I have the steering turned all the way up but no help. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
The Slash actually turns very well with limited amount of changes needed.

This is pretty good setup for this type of racing:

If you want to improve steering even further, I would upgrade the steering rack. SRTC and Traxxas both make aluminum upgrades and they use bearings instead of the stock bushings. A faster servo will help some as well.
