Yes tipping when abruptly getting off the throttle will also likely cause tipping. With 4 motors you can set one on each side to coast and one on each side to brake for a lower braking force. We did that on the rookie team I am working with this year and it has worked good in practice.

Personally I would remove a motor per side if it can be done w/o major disassembly.
