WCD questions
My search skills must be weak, I could not find an answer to my questions, please help us out.
Fusion is contemplating switching to WCD for this upcoming season, mainly to reduce machining time and increase drivetrain serviceability. We are starting to look at designs and plan to make a couple of chassis's this summer/fall.
My question: Why do teams put their chains on the inside of the rail instead of the outside with the wheels? It looks to really complicate the build (requires: smaller sprockets, all live axles, transmission standoffs, tensioning issues etc).
FRC teams are smart, so their must be a reason other than appearance. Show me the light. Thanks
