Re: 2008 and drivetrains

I really think a well designed Ackerman system is the way to go.

I'm lobbying my teammates for:
- Ackermann
- Rack & Pinion Steering
- 2 Speed Single Power Plant
- Limited slip differential

I already have a differential design that is fairly easy to make (I'm currently working on reducing the weight a little) and I like the AM SuperShifter. We're looking at various RC car designs for some practical solutions.
