Re: pic: FRC488 - 80/20 Drive Train

Madison, this looks like a very simple, easy to put together design.

The only weaknesses are, in my eyes, angular clearance for ramps.

Assuming the wheels are centered at 3/4" above the 8020, and positioned about 3.5" back from the inside of the front rail, that only gives you about 17 degrees of angular clearance. But for a flat-field application, this looks like a very nice drive that you could easily modify at any point.
