I do scaling of the reaction force because I don't use Pacejka. I don't understand why you need to divide your reaction force by the load if you use Pacejka. With "magic" formula you are suppose to get and exact amount of reaction force specifically for a specific wheel with a specific load on wheel.
I'll be adding description of friction model I use for the tank into documentation, can drop a link when it done. Otherwise I'm not sure how I can help here, I mean you can't just randomly change minus to plus in your formulas and expect to get some proper result. It doesn't work like that.
