Re: Lowered Center Wheel for 6 wheel drive

2005 - 3 mm (just under 1/8")

2006 - 2 mm (just under 3/32")

In 2005 we had a bit more rock than we wanted. In 2006 we used 30% more current to turn than in 2005. We found that the closer your CG is to the center, the less the center wheel has to be lowered. We had a very stiff sheet metal chassis.

We will probably go with 3m this year.
