Re: pic: FRC 4532 Drive Base Frame

Another luxury of using pneumatic wheels in a 6 wheel drop center drive is that you have another degree of freedom beyond simply a 1/4" drop of the axle. You can slightly adjust the pneumatic wheel pressure in the outer wheels versus the center wheels. Maybe you think the drop isn't enough? Pump the center wheels up to 35 psi, and only pump the corners to 25 psi. The drop is too much? Pump the center wheels to 30 psi and the corners to 35 psi. These numbers are arbitrary and are in no way exact, but just pointing out that you would have another way to fine tune your turning ability and find what works best for you.
