Re: Cantilevered Wheel Shaft Strength

The team to ask is 254. They've done this since 2004, and have won around 20 regionals with this setup. I can't speak for them, but I'm pretty sure that if strength was an issue, they wouldn't use a drive that is too weak for 10 consecutive years.

What I would be interested in knowing is how often these teams change out their wheel shafts or tread.
