So last night I was thinking of a way to improve my team's drive train, when I had an idea. We usually use a 6 wheeled tank drive, with 2, 6" plaction wheels in the center lowered 1/8", with 4 standard FIRST wheels on the outside, with each wheel connected by chain.
My idea was this: A similar drive train, using 6" PLaction wheels in the center, lowered 1/8", but with
Andymark trick wheels on the outsides instead of the standard FIRST wheels.
Has anybody tried this? Anything to change? Should all wheels be connected via chain, or only the center wheels powered?
We're going to try a WCD next year, so will that affect anything?
Thanks!
