Is the 4x8 T-Series suppposed to crab so easilly?

Is something wrong with the weight distribution? The range of steering of the second pair of front wheels needs to be changed? Do the rear tires have incorrect sideways friction values?

I haven't figure out yet what are the exact circumstances that make it happen reliably, but it seems more common in slower speeds, on dirt, and occasionally on some faster turns on asphalt, and sometimes on some slopes; but I'm not sure exactly what factors are really what matter.

By crabbing I assume you mean popping sideways at the slightest provocation, I've noticed that on the lift-axles and even on the new Gavril MD front wheels, the slightest knock from terrain will send the front wheels or the lift axle wobbling left and right like rubber.

No, I mean moving diagonally when trying to make a turn.

Btw, additional datapoints. Tridem 4x6 setup also has that issue; and it seems to happen more often with all diffs locked and when there is wheelspin.
