As my grandfather might say if he were around to see this competition: Tripping breakers is like writing a bad check. It's hard the first time, but then it just gets easier and easier. (No really, a breaker will trip sooner on successive high-current loads because it's been broken in.)
You may also want to try different air pressures in your tires or different tires entirely. 200x50 tires like AndyMark sells are a semi-standard size, so they'll mount to the same hubs. We bought several of
these and found they have less grip than the AndyMarks, but they're also a smaller diameter than the AndyMarks. Only you can say whether that's a good or bad thing.
