Re: Andymark rhino drivetrain discussion

If it becomes an issue with the tread being pushed off the wheels with side load, which I doubt will happen with a properly tensioned belt, can the Rhino Teams add a plate to the sides of the wheels, slightly larger than the wheel, so it overlaps the white part of the belt?

This would be similar to the other belt pulleys that are used.

In addition to the plates, perhaps a mechanism to deflate pneumatic tires could also be added?
