I understand that might provide a difference in the "low speed" handling.
Yes. It could definitely make a difference, depending on other factors of course.

Sorry I don't have all the information... all of this is from memory.
I understand. But if I may ask without being too much of a pest, would you be willing to ask your lead engineer whether you have encoders on the wheels/gearboxes, and what the other details of your drivetrain are (gear ratio of transmission and tooth count on sprockets if using chain drive).

Thanks
