The system is also completely unaware of the placement of trees around you
Exactly. Zero traction surface. Since the wheels are spinning so freely and throttle is so responsive due to that factor it was very easy for me to detect any kind of a change in the drivetrain, engine, or ecu. I guess the bottom line is that the amount of interference is negligible if that, and that the VDC works and it works great. I personally never turn it off unless i encounter the aforementioned circumstances which is rare.
