Re: 8 Wheel Chassis Design

Are you suggesting that I move the transmissions to the back? And then move the middle wheels further outward?

I can understand why I should move the wheels out. But I wold rather have a better turning radius. The Rock wont effect too much.

The transmissions in the back would make it back heavy. thus making the back and rear-middle wheels touching the ground. then it wouldn't turn on the middle wheels.

This is how I had the chassis before, but i was told I should put the Transmissions in the middle to keep the COG in the center. I literally spent 1.5 Hours changing it to the middle of the chassis.
