Has anyone had a similar issue and able to help with some insight on what could be causing this?

I'm assuming that it's confined to the front end. I see no rubbing/friction externally so am also assuming that it's internal.
Knowing that the scx24 doesn't really have a diff (just a worm gear), this means of course that the wheels all turn at the same speed. Seeing other videos of these models running fine on flat ground, I can't imagine this factor causing such an issue.

Any help much appreciated.

P.S. I have taken the front apart. Checked drive shafts, bearings, worm gear, dog bones. These all seem okay, although it may be something that I can't see with my bare eyes.
 
turn your dual rate knob more towards 0
The most obvious and simple answer, and I'm happy enough with that. It does behave better on a wider turning radius. Also not bad on soft/loose ground too. Probably makes sense that with the fixed axles. Cheers.
