I'd tend to agree, but I think it would be really handy to put a couple of current sensors on the drive motors and get quantitative numbers on how much difference it makes. Plus, adjustable pseudo-pillow blocks really aren't that much harder than what we'd be doing anyway. Assuming the kit frame doesn't change much, we'll probably be using the it next year, and to get less rock rock on it, we'd have to go to a pillow block style mount anyway, might as well adjust it.
