• Is there a notable increase in turning scrub?
• Is the increased traction noticable? In what ways?
• Have you found that it improves your defensive/offensive performance?

Drop down casters
(I heard that 987 has done this previously. Correct/incorrect?)

• How effective is it at getting out of t-bone pins?

Drop Down Outer Wheels
(I heard that 469 has used this previously. Correct/incorrect?)

• Is the increased traction noticable
• Have you found that it imroves your offensive/defensive performance?

Obviously, in qual matches, these would most likely have little to no effect on performance. But in elims, it seems like there could be a significant improvement in performance.

2 inch wide wheels don't make as big a difference as tread material, and they can make turning a little screwy.

We used drop down omnis instead of casters and the drivers loved them. They did help against defense.
