1. If you use chain, be ready to use tensioners. A slack chain is one that's just begging to fail.
2. Lube! Getting your bot slick and oiled can be like adding RAM to a computer, it's cheap and gives you a huge boost in performance. If it takes 1/4 throttle just to overcome the static friction in your drive and get moving, something is in need of lubing or redesign. 3. Keep it clean. Dust, carpet, rubber, blood etc. will all get picked up and find it's way into your drive. Compressed air and a tooth brush every few matches will keep it from building up. -Andy A. |
