The "shopping cart" effect that occurs with any type of asymmetric wheel layout causes drivability to suffer greatly. One Thing I might suggest is to file the kit wheels into a rounded profile, they seem to slide sideways better that way.
Nice to know what your 2012 bot will look like now! You probably meant 2011, though. Do you know the spacing of the wheels on your 2011 6wd tank? And what size wheels did you use?
