Re: Treads, Tracks, Tank system Talk/Help

the arms are the two inch thick portions of lexan between the main body and the tracks them selves if need be I'll take a picture of the gutted and cleaned robot net shop day. The main drive is indeed drill motors.

As for my insulting people the Origional poster clearly said he understood that the tread style drive had its draw backs and he understood that, thus having people posting in this thread proclaiming the drawbacks have been unnecessary posts, and not contributing to the topic.

Your understanding is incomplete. A totally unloaded motor still draws its stall current for a moment as it begins to spin.
Of this I was also aware, My wording might not have been clear however.
