Hi Jeff

I had the same problem.  I got some improvement by running the treads in
opposite directions.  Turns real quick then!  And the drive tread does not
have to carry the whole force of the turn plus "slip" or pivot the
stationary tread.

That's how I've been doing it.  I'm still having trouble turning.  I
partially solved the problem by applying some belt dressing (from my local
Kragen auto parts store :-) to the treads, which helps some with the
grinding I get from the drive wheels.
