I was wondering if anyone has any data (not theory) on this.

For example how much more torque* does a 30" wheelbase by 24" trackwidth require than a 24" wheelbase by 30" trackwidth, both vehicles having the same wheels, motors, and drivetrain?


* or current, since it's easier to measure, or voltage, since the motors are stalled
