Re: Victor 888/Talon SR Weird Issue (Drivetrain)

The wheels sound like hard plastic and those are okay for turning.

Turning for those kinds of wheels can be improved by several choices:
- Dropping the center wheel a little more
- Adding another motor to each side
- Changing out the gears in the gearbox for a better ratio (AndyMark has another set of recommended replacement gears - see page 4 for the 12.75:1 ratio here http://files.andymark.com/PDFs/AM14U3_UserGuide_1.1.pdf)
