Re: Good drivetrains observed

Our drivetrain was really solid this year; 6-wheel drive with 2-speed pneumatic shifters.
The gearboxes direct drive the back wheels, then connect to the other two wheels with seperate chains.
Head to head we can push tank treads. In fact, I don't think we lost in a head-on match once.
Unfortunately, our high center of gravity still caused a little bit of hopping when we turned, but I don't even want to think about what it would have looked like with 4-wheel drive.
