Re: Best Drivetrain

I like direct drive myself! Mainly because our linkage wouldn't work without it (generally... I suppose I could find a way.. but direct drive is the easiest way). That and because we don't have precison tools, tension is harder to maintain (it can be done, but is done much better with pecison)

We used all direct drive this year (4 omnis), those banebot transmissions have a nice long output shaft for that!!
