Re: Drivetrain type/treads

We are using the 8" Plaction wheels with wedegtop tread. We threw the ideas around of both the Plaction wheels and the 8" pneumatics but ultimately opted to use the plaction wheels. We deduced that with our drivetrain there was not that much difference in balance and stability and with the space of our chassis it would be better for the thinner wheels.
