I also discovered this. It was sort of disappointing. I applied postgraduate-level dynamics and control theory to create a mathematically nearly-optimal traction control system, then found that just low-pass filtering the inputs and outputs of my velocity control PID loop gave almost identical functional performance.
If anyone ever needs to kill a fly with a flamethrower - you know where to find me!
