Re: pic: Concept 8wd Drivetrain

From all of this discussion, the only true weakness I see to an 8 wheel drivetrain is the added weight. However, with careful planning and material selection, not to mention smaller wheels and sprockets for the same ramp climbing ability, even that weakness can be negated. The extra machining and assembly are so small that it really is not a problem.
