Re: 2012 drivetrain

We had a wide-bot 4wd with articulating, non-powered wheels in the center. Normally, they remained off the ground, but were attached to the outer wheels in such a way that on the bump they would raise up, contacting the surface of the bump. The outer (drive) wheels would lower down to remain on the ground on bot sides of the bump.
It was powered by 4 CIMs in SuperShifter gearboxes. The outer wheels were 8in aluminum with roughtop and wedgetop tread, and the inner wheels were this years' KOP 4in traction wheels.
