Re: Goig "wide" with the chassis

The only thing I would be worried about with having a wide chassis is, the possibility of being more maneuverable then is necessary.
I haven't run the numbers on this but, the wide wheel base combined with the low friction surface may cause a "widebot" to slide more while performing a turn.
However, I do think it is one of the top chassis designs for this game.
Not necessarily the best, but by no means the worst either.
