I'm wondering what damage teams who used cantilevered wheels sustained, and the thought process they went through in making that choice.
This year was our first year modifying the KOP chassis and we did a combination of the square and long configurations. We also used 8" pneumatics, but only used 6 of them. We barely skated by with a perimeter of 119.5", what dimensions did you guys use? Do you have any pictures of your chassis? I would love to see the wheel spacing.
