We have excluded teams in the past (06, and 07) as picks for having only the center 2 wheels driven from our elimination selection list. If you need some pictures of how to get 2 more to drive, let me know and I will send them your way.
Who says there will be ramps next year.... or bumps... (or dry land for that matter)

On a more serious note... Is that a sprocket or a gear on the center wheel?

If you aren't gonna power the outer wheels why not get rid of chains all together and incorporate the wheel directly into the tranny?

What trannys are you planning to use anyways? The kit ones perhaps?
