Hehe, sorry for asking so many questions. I'm interested in the first-hand experience. My team hasn't gotten their hands on the regolith flooring yet, and are considering a 4-wheel tank drive. we're considering a wide frontal orientation for the wheels though. so the front of the bot would be the longest side. we'll see if this helps improve turning ability. I think we're going to be up for a LOT of testing (trial and error) this year. haha.
It didn't drive so well once we got the trailer going today

Our driver did develop a clever method of jack-knifing the bot back and forth to turn around. Simply tank steering was impossible with the trailer...

We're looking into the wide config also... Let me know how it goes for you.
