Khan 39 Marshall...erratic steering?

[Galileon]

First off I love this little scout vehicle but, the steering on it is very sensitive and demands constant attention. The only thing I found that helps somewhat, is avoiding the AWD as much as possible and low speed.
Anyone else run into similar issues with this scout? Also, any solutions or is this a bug?
I appreciate any input on this, thanks.

The Marshall is simply too fast/accelerates too quickly for its own good.
Its short wheel base coupled with SRs game engine's generally poor behaviour when going fast means it's barely controllable and will go off course all the time.
Nothing you can do except limiting how fast you drive it.

I found even at a slow speed it's hard to steer.
You think maybe a low powered engine might help? I'm going to try that and I'll let you know the results. Thanks for commenting, you've given me an idea to pursue!

EDIT: Ok switching back to the stock engine improves the handling a noticeable amount. Once I am able to add a roof rack, the weight may calm it down some more.

You may also want to try Snowrunner or Precise Gearbox for this one, to be able to use Low + gear which will limit the speed of it while being quite fast at the same time, even with the more powerful engine.

Outstanding! The Snowrunner gearing gentled the handling to an astonishing degree!
I'll have to try swapping in a more powerful engine to regain the ability to tow via winch, something the stock engine is not up to.
Thanks for the helpful advice! You sir/Madam have earned an award and my thanks.

Never ever use the Snowrunner gearbox. Especially not on scouts.

Do it, use the Snowrunner gearbox.

Was mainly ♥♥♥♥ posting but genuinely good point that slipped my mind.

Never really used the Khan for anything other than short excursions, after all i had the Tatarin very early on in my playthrough.

Yeah, there's a real fuel efficiency penalty, I went from 1/2 gallon ( just under 2 Liters) to 1 1/2 gallon (just under 6 Liters) and that's per minute! Good thing gas is free in the game!
Edit: I found the diff locking upgrade for the chevy 1500, I'll be using that as my primary light scout, for now.
