Yes - managing accelleration is a 'must'...both in speeding up and slowing
down - and easing into turns. An abrupt change of speed will generally
result in wheel slip.

It was good in a straight line - but *hopeless* in a turn because
the point that it rotated around wasn't well defined and depended on
the surface, the way the tracks were stored (Are your's squashed into
an elliptical shape?)...so overall, I don't think much of using tracks.
The two-large-wheels-plus-caster(s) seems to be the undesputed best design
for navigation (at least with Lego parts).
