One thing GB330033 failed to mention about the "push test" is that we did not realize it at the time, but one of our CIM's on the right side was not getting any power so we were at 3/4 power and still were able to push the 05 bot. As far as the drivetrain is concerned it's 4WD tank style with two kit transmissions, gear ratio of 28:25 from tranny to wheels, and the wheels are actually closer to 9.6" and slightly deflated because we managed to drill the holes too close to the bars on the frame and they were rubbing. So we'll have plenty of traction to use our torque .
