Advantages/Disadvantages of West Coast Drive
Hello Mentors/Teams/Students. I'm hoping to learn more about the advantages and pitfalls for a West Coast Drive type of chassis/drive train compared to the traditional drive train. Which of you have recently transitioned from traditional drive train to WCD? Please share your experience.. the good, the bad and the ugly!

What are unique design challenges? Maintenance issues? Challenges with buying WCD parts during the rush of build season? Cost? Reliability? Since we dont yet know what the 2017 game: is WCD drive better for certain playing field surfaces but perhaps not-so-good for other surfaces? Discuss some of the varoius versions of WCD.

Anxious to hear your thoughts!

Thanks

Jim
