Re: Cantilevered drive wheels?

696 has used cantilevered wheels for the past three years. It ends up saving a good deal of space and weight, as well as giving a wider footprint for better stability and turning moment, and it allows the wheels to come off easily for replacing tread. The only downside is if someone pushes a bumper up against your wheels, you might be stuck goin no where. But you can put in gaurds for that if you'd like.
