The tracks might be too slack, take a link out of each side.

Also check that all the wheels are screwed on properly and that there isn't any play in the suspension arms (they should only move up and down and not side to side.)

You could try this. http://www.rctankwarfare.com/Forums/index.php/topic,2935.0.html
It keeps the tracks tight and stops them running off the sprockets.
