Re: Best Form Of Six Wheel Drive?
1270 went with an eight wheel drive base this year and Im pretty sure we are going to keep it due to how well it has performed. We took the Andy Mark 2 speed transmission and integrated it into our 4 inch box tube frame and we also put the wheels in there. We used 4"x1.5" IFI wheels for the four center wheels and 4"x1" IFI wheels for the four outer wheels. The base has a lot of pushing power, turns on a dime, and is fast. The four center wheels are lowered 1/8".

I posted a video of the base if you havent seen it yet just click the link.
