Default Rc car weird problem

Alright, let's get right into this.
I've never seen anything like this before.
So my 1/8 scale buggy happens to work fine. But when I reverse like max speed or close, it just starts turning right and left fast. I just received this car today. Please help, I've never faced anything like this. Thanks! Also the buggy is a Vaterra Glamis Uno.

I've seen top fuel and funny cars do that when they back up too fast. It has something to do with the front geometry. I'd guess the amount of caster, but that's just a semi educated guess. They just start flopping back and forth lock to lock. Have to stop and start backing up again slower.

Caster effect ^^^
What happens with your front wheels is normal when going in reverse.
