Re: Wheels: Metal or Plastic?
Using COTS wheels, and keeping the environments in application for each wheel identical, I prefer metal. AM performance wheels are nice in that they are easy to cantilever on live axles and there are only 2 pieces to the wheel.

This thread begs the question: does it matter for omni vs. skid drive trains?
