It is because of scrub force that teams will use 6 wheel drop center. Wheen the middle wheel is lower than the rest it effectively gives you a drive base that behaves like it is half the lenght when it comes to performance but has all the stability of the full length.

If you have any more questions feel free to PM me and I will help as much as I can. I had a longer post I was going to submit but my phone deleted it.

Alternatively, if you want 4wd, two omni's and two traction wheels works pretty good chained tank. It's a setup that worked well for 955 in 2014 under defense.
