I believe our problem was that we direct drove our wheels, at first we had problems with our drive shaft, then the pins sheered inside the Dewalt, and once we improved the pins the gears actually broke, we ended up solving the problem by Atlanta, but unfortunetly we ended up stuck out of gear in the semifinals and unable to do anything.

I'd say the Dewalts are effective for their size, but our application of them was not ideal, we have used them for a very long time (not sure the number) and never had a problem before last year.
