It sounds like your gear ratio is still too high.
The stall loads on these motors are a killer and if you try to accelerate too fast you might be blowing the breakers.
One thing that helps is to ramp up the speed. There are some white papers out there that talk about first order filters where the driver jerking the joystick around gets smoothed out on the way to the motors.

Good luck. Once our drive train is put together, I suspect I may be scratching my head on this as well.
