Not necessarily true. Motors will often run a different speeds under
"no-load" conditions, but as soon as you make them start working, they
may run at exactly the same speed. Moreover, by their nature, tank
tracks want to go in a straight-line. So, even if the motors are
slightly different speed, the mechanical system may still keep the tank
going straight.
In short, there are so many variables to consider, that until you get it
built, there is no reason to worry about it. R/C steering with mixed
track controls is easy enough that you won't even think about it in the
field.
