Re: 6 Wheel Drives Without Dropped Centers
48 has been running no drop center, 6WD West Coast setups since 2011.
2011: two 4" omnis up front, four 4" performance wheels in rear, roughtop tread. Long wheelbase.
2012: six 8" AM pneumatics, square footprint
2013: six 6" dia. 1" wide aluminum performance wheels, blue nitrile roughtop tread. Very slightly wide-biased footprint.
All three were powered by some variation of the A-M SuperShifter, 2 CIM's per side.
2012 was not surprisingly the least-maneuverable of the three setups, but it still was good enough to get the job done in one of our most productive seasons ever.
The 2013 iteration is very nimble yet able to provide enough punch to apply solid defensive pressure when needed.
