Re: Drive Base Help

Do you have access to a press brake? If so you could build something similar to our drive this year (pictures below). We used 8 8" wheels with 15mm belts and 4 toughbox micros at 12.57:1 (I think). We used 1/2in of drop on the centre wheels. The side plates are .090 5052 aluminium, laser cut, but could be handmade.
