I found some pictures of 330's 6WD drop-center drive that somewhat show the chain routing.

Their chain run goes like this: Trannies to center wheel and rear wheel. Center wheel has another chain, which runs to the front wheel.

Just a note, the drive's various iterations have won 3 regional wins, 2 regional finalists, 1 world championship, and 2 divisional wins, with one regional left for the team to play in 2008, just on 330.
