Break the darn thing as soon as you get it running. (Not Maliciously)

By doing this, you know where your drive train needs work, by fixing this during the build time, this lowers the risk of your team rushing at competition to fix something.

Not much help there, we're riding in our groove when it comes to drivetrains
