Re: How long did it take for you to build your drivetrain?

Last year 862 took up the whole 6 weeks of build season to build our Tri-star system that includes pulling the drive train out twice once even tearing it completely apart then rebuilding it the next day. Then the last two days of build we decided that the Tri-stars wouldn't work. And we started work on Plan B: designing and building a new 4 wheel drive train into a frame built for the Tri-star system. We ended up shipping Loki with the Tri-stars still on him. It took all of about three hours on the practice day at Great Lakes to install the new drive train which worked very well needing only some minor tune ups thought the competition season.
