Re: help with 6wd chassie..

Looks very nice. Just one thing, you might want to watch the chain wrap on the output sprocket. As a general rule, 120 degrees of wrap is a good idea, where it looks like you have roughly 70 degrees in the picture. An easy fix for this would be to add an idler sprocket to bend the chain down and increase wrap, which could even double as an adjustable chain tensioner.

If you wish to learn how to program, I suggest you look into easyC Pro. It has an icon based interface that does much of the work for you, while still allowing for huge amounts of flexability.

What exactly does the orange arm on top do? It looks very cool.
