Rob-
How did you "slow down"? Via the joystick or by some sort of a shifting device? I'd have to do some thinking about it, but initially I'd say that that just "slowing down" via a joystick wouldn't let one motor kick in more torque than the other since the amount of torque needed would be constant at any moving speed, and presumably, the joystick would control both motor's input voltage.
