Oh, that makes sense; especially when up against the stronger drivebases.

Suppose I should have made that clearer. Most teams I've seen run on the Omni's the majority of the time, and the axle is run through that wheel because it's the primary wheel. The axle placement on the traction wheel, at least to me, implied that the traction wheel was the primary.
