For us we wanted alot of grip of course. So what we did was
wrap timing belts around the wheels wit the teeth side out and we had superior traction. Also if you make your own wheels that are real wide, just make them out of plywood, you can get more traction. Another thig I see alot of teams make the mistake of is not balencing the weight of thier orobt evenly over thier wheels. Lik putting all of thier weight over thier 2 back or front wheels and they have thier wheels slipping the whole time.
