Adjusting Continuous Wheel

Hi people,

I need some help here to adjust my continuous wheel I got with adventure bot. When it runs on tile or concrete floor it works just fine. When when it run on carpet floor, it can go forward and backward, but when I try to do a left or right turn, the wheel appears to slip and couldn't turn. I'm thinking of doing a adjusting the torque but I'm not sure os this the first place to go for. Perhaps there is a better way to solve this? If adjusting torque is the way to go, how much should I adjust it by?

Thanks

@Dave thanks for your comment, I personally don't do much work with continuous motors so I wasn't aware of it until you brought it up. I'm glad to know, I was going to get a motor with encoders in it so I could have a PID controller or something like that to adjust the speed. Probably I'll hold that thought for now.

Thanks again.
