I have one. It's a RWD car and the front wheels can turn so much that instead of turning, the car will actually start to drag the front wheels unless you're going really slow.

Can confirm. I installed a steering angle limiter to reduce the chance of too much stress on the joints. And yes, the Spitfire can corner until it flies without rolling. Might be me adding a lot to a low cog as well... ;-}
RWD and a high torque motor. I'm pretty sure someone somewhere has managed to snap some connecting rods in the front end by being stupid.
All it takes is one sidewalk at that angle. At best it will bend.
Oh for sure.
