I disagree. Our drive system found here puts more side load on the transmissions then most drive systems will. and with three weeks of driving (on carpet) we still have no problems what-so-ever (knock on wood )

It seems to me the transmissions being dry may be the biggest problem.

Secondly, can you turn the traction wheels by hand? (you should be able to, we can) If you can't maybe its the way you mounted the wheels?? I haven't seen wheels mounted that way before(not saying its bad, its just different for me) and may cause a "brake pad" effect... although you said no problems with driving striaght... how well can you drive backwards?? if you are turning like normal skid steering, then maybe thats what is cause the problem.

Hope it gets fixed and good luck!
