Yea that was regulation material, it was all taped together into one giant sheet. haha Our drive train is a 4 wheel drive system, 2 wheels per side, 1 motor operating each side. Fairly simple idea with a skid steer style steering control operated by two joysticks. Thats about it. We do have good acceleration, but it probably wouldnt hurt to be a little faster. Great drivers make it operate very smoothly.
