Re: Tread and brownouts
5:1 gear ratio with 4 inch pulleys is about 18.5 fps free speed (perhaps higher if the tread is really thick). This sounds rather fast for a tread drive, especially single speed. Even if you find a source or two of friction and eliminate it, you will probably find that you aren't able to generate much tractive force (e.g. in going over the B & D defenses) due to the high gearing.
