Re: Drivetrain type/treads

I put other tank, because none of the others describe our wheel configuration. We have two 4" 2015 kit wheels, four 8" 2010 kit wheels, and four 8" plaction wheels with pebbletop tread. The frame is the 2015 KoP chassis with the new wedge (on order). There's not enough room in the chassis to fit all of these wheels end-to-end, so we have them in two planes. The four 4" wheels are near the end of the drive shafts, the eight pebble top wheels are about 5" ahead and behind this but inboard, and the eight slicks are about 5" ahead and behind those, back in the planes with the 4" wheels. We expect to test drive over the passive defenses tomorrow.
