Re: The Center Wheel

Ditto on the drop not being a problem for 330.

We also used sticky pneumatic tires in the center and AM 6" wheels on the corners; one year we tried 6 stickies and quickly swapped at least two of them after having problems turning.

Bear in mind that 3 of the 4 years I know of us doing a 6WD drop, we had arms to place objects. We never had an issue placing or acquiring in a big hurry, or on the go.
