It does handle horribly compared to my buggy even when that was stock, but I'm not sure I would call it wallowey, mushy may be closer. It seems to suffer really badly from the Higher CoG, but its my first tall vehicle so I am not sure if it is normal. I was expecting increased weight transfer to some extent but not this much.

With any power applied so much weight comes off the front wheels that it understeers terribly, at full speed and full power the turning circle is about 50 meters, and when accelerating from a lower speed it goes from even worse to non-existant depending on how hard I accelerate, it seems that the only way to turn at speed is to come off the throttle and hit the brakes which shifts all the weight onto the front wheels and then I get oversteer which gets it round the corner but i cant accelerate past the apex as it will then understeer wide, I have to wait till nearly all the steering is off before I give it any throttle again.
