Re: Drive train help.

My team built this wood chassis a few years ago. It was fast and easy to make and very solid.

An RC controller is less work than an arduino, especially if autonomous functionality is not required. Most RC controllers have trim controls that can compensate for the peel. Note that V-tail mixing may be helpful to have "throttle-steering" controls rather than "tank" controls.
