Re: pic: Team 610 Off-Season Tank Drive Prototype

Looks very nice, just a few questions...

How are you going to drive the belts off of the drive wheels?
Why not move the transmissions to the back in order to give more pushing power if pushing from that side?
How are your going to run a chain from the transmission when the sprocket seems to be mounted below the drive wheel?, the tranny housing will be in the way.
And finally
Why is the frame so "skimpy" for a tank like that?, if you want a powerful drive train build a frame to take a lot of beatings
