2007 - 177 had a parallel plate drive set up using AndyMark shifters. We use dead axles and power the wheels with #35 chain, from the stock output gears to our custom wheels. It's a faily simple setup, but it's rock solid reliable because in three years of using it the only time we ever had and issues was Einstein Semi 2 match 2 in 2008 when the carpet that wasn't taped down well went between our chain and sprocket during auto mode.

We've posted pictures of the drive train as we've improved it incrementally over the years to optomize it. Do a search for photos of our team and you should find some pictures if you're interested.
