We do see that it goes straight , but if we make it a 1/4' longer it goes farther but not quite as straight. We also tried the gap between the two wheels at 1/4 " and with the centers 2" apart. It seems that the closer the wheels the farther it goes. We had the first wheel at 5K and the second wheel at 15k. Could you share your settings that worked best for you? Thanks. Again awesome job!
We're nearly identical to that. BAG motors 1:1 and 1:3 wheels close together and the wall ending at the center of the fast wheel. Compression at about 1/2 inch. You have just verified our settings.
