Re: What teams have desgined a 6 wheel drive system?
6-wheel drive is probably the best way to go. It will drive straight if your chains and everything is tensioned properly. The only problem with driving straight is in the gearbox of the Drill motors. But thats only in the gearbox and is easily fixable. For turning the best to do that is to lower the middle set of wheels so that when you turning you are basically turning on those two set of wheels. We haven't had any sort of problem with our 6-wheel drive systems yet.
