Dagu Rover 5 shedding tracks on turns

Hi guys, Hope this is the right forum. I'm building a robot based on the Dagu Rover 5 chassis and experiencing problems with it shedding it's tracks. The motor angle is about 45 degs. Anybody had any experience with these and stopping the tracks coming off (even on smooth hardwood floor) during a turn? I'm hoping someone has done a modification or something to keep them on, other wise this Robot may be getting itself converted to tires :-( Thanks guys Shane
