Re: 2012 drivetrain

We used 4-wheel tank drive from KOP parts this year, as we always do. If I could re-do this year, I'd probably go with an 8-wheel drop center system (something like a modified Kitbot on Steroids) to help with the turning. Our handling on carpet was so bad that we covered the treads on the wheels with duct tape.
