we are intending to look at all the drive trains a brunswick eruption and pick the one that is the best and build in the preseason so we gain some experience.

You can learn a lot from doing this. The best part is because the time constraints aren't there like during the build season you can take the time to really think through and explain everything much more thouroghly. I don't think you necessarily need to build the drive train as much as going through the design excercise. What you learn from focusing on improving a few components can be more beneficial than building an entire drive train.
