Re: 6WD: Which wheels to power?

Ideally, you want every wheel that is touching the ground to be contributing to your motive force. Since your traction is intimately related to the friction on your driven wheels, and since friction depends on the weight applied through those wheels, every non-driven wheel with any weight on it robs you of traction.
