Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid

Judging from the ratios I see, the wheels seem like they would be spinning at approximately the same speed, also the way the assembly is mounted suggests that it pivots, and the shape of the cut out of the mount suggests the smaller wheel can be raised significantly. In my opinion, this seems like a mechanism to either raise the chassis to over come an obstacle or a mechanism that allows a team to switch the configuration of their drive terrain during a mach, for example switching from a 4 wheel to an 8 wheel or 6 wheel to an 8 wheel or any other combination.
