David speaks the truth. There are some teams that can go from "hey, maybe we should..." to a new-to-them drive concept within build season. If you have to think about it, you are
not one of those teams. You may not win an event just on the drivetrain, but you can absolutely
lose an event just on the drivetrain. I've lost a whole
season on the drivetrain. It sucks. A lot.
Other teams may put more weight on experimentation and learning experience, and that's fine--but I don't believe the drivetrain is a place for most to gamble their season.
