Typical answer but not always the truth. You can get high speeds with treads if you have the proper gear ratio. I recall team 61 (i think) moving with great speeds in 04 competition and team 180's old tread system to be very powerful. But be sure to do the engineering before the season starts, or you might run out of time like our team did in 03 and had some serious engineering flaws that we found out on the first day of competition.
We are going 6x6 for this years game....
