: Drive time trumps all. Give your drivers time with the machine and they can undo all sorts of nasty nonlinearities and asymmetries.
Joe,
As a driver for 3 years, I agree with you! As long as your drivers are given ample time with the machine, they should be able to compensate (I know I got yelled at more than once for complaining that the motors were running differently! 'Compensate then! That's your problem!'). The key is to work out the big bugs, and let the drivers get used to the unique 'personality' of the machine...and keep in mind that time with the drive train is not enough...the CG and behavoir of the machine changes with eveything else added on.
