I'm wondering what damage teams who used cantilevered wheels sustained, and the thought process they went through in making that choice.
We went with the WCD and where had no problems that were caused by the wheels being cantilevered out. We Chose the WCD because it was what we had experience working with. A complete description of our teams drive train is found in the previous post.
