Re: pic: Drivetrain vs. Drivetrain

Thanks. We're going with live axles driving 6" pneumatic wheels with customized hubs. The bearings will probably be the AM 1/2" hex bearings.

The "sheet metal" is actually 1/8" C channel, because we lack the capability to do any sheet metal machining at this scale.

Because we will be putting in an acquirer in front, that gap will have to be bridged higher up in the frame. This is just the base right now, after all, and we do have a lot more to add to the superstructure.

And we're not really interested in cool if it takes too long to machine on a mill or it gets shred to pieces.
