Re: pic: Concept 8wd Drivetrain

if your going to run eight wheels wouldent it be easier(to implement not make unbreakable)and lighter to run actual treads? then you would have lots of traction


anyways it just seems unneccesary because if everyone knew we were going to be climbing lots of steep things then i know that i would consider treads before eight wheels simply becuase its more complex(Lots of chains and things to break) and harder to make everything straight and workig funcionally im not saying it would be harder to drive or climb stuff with just considering building and implementing things
