I used TOKAMAK for Simsail and had to fudge the forces acting on the vehicles wheels to emulate reasonable friction.
Recently bought JV-ODE from VIP3R and after a couple of weeks playing around with it I would have to say, in my opinion obviously, that ODE is a better option.
The friction, restitution and so on seem much easier to set up and behave more predictably.
I would counter this by saying, as you already know from using TOKAMAK with Wobbles, that any physics package will need 'tweaking' to get it to do what you want, in the way you want it too.
It's just that personally i'm finding ODE much easier to get to grips with (no pun intended).
