The 52mm dogbones limited the turning radius by interfering withe the outer drive cups, so they do bind slightly at high steering angles after all. I cut them down and silver soldered them together so that they are 50 mm long. I now have all the turning circle I need. To fix the problem of losing dogbones with these cars I added a ~1mm piece of rubber fuel tubing inside the inner cups before installing the dogbones. That kept them well within the outer dogbones even at extreme angles.
