On a "flat" field, I would recommend a half inch minimum. On a field with any obstacle, I'd probably recommend raising that up a notch or two. If next year's game has obstacles, we'll probably just throw bigger wheels onto our drivetrain to make it easy. |
Just to throw a wrench in this discussion. Years like 2005 saw teams get hung up on tetras due to either having too much or too little ground clearance. Also, in games like 2003 you had to worry about wheel width.
