I guess this might be an advantage of the plain old Kit Bot drive train as we don't have an issue with that. 8" pneumatic wheels, no other modifications to the provided kit and ours doesn't move when power is cut on the incline of the batter. Maybe I need to find out if the kids actually greased the gearboxes We are also royally underweight, so that is probably helping as well.
