No. Our driver had no issues slinging the bot around. The distance between our front and back tire contact points is 24". Distance between contact points left/right is about 25". We used a West Coast style setup, so that helped us widen the wheel gap.

We also did very slightly lower the pressure of the front and rear tires relative to the center, which we kept near max pressure. There is no noticeable rock on the robot at all.
