Go to Post Strive for excellence in everything you do, but also recognize it in others when you see it, rather than try to drag it down. - Joe G. [more]

Weight in the corners is the problem not the length of the track, as others have pointed out.

You will gain by having your machine wide & short rather than narrow and long, but will it be enough? Difficult to say. Having 4 big watt motors rather than 2 will help muscle through the scrubbing but again, it is difficult to say how much you are giving up.

As to voltage spikes when rammed, they are so far down my list of problems, I don't even think about them. Your machine breaking is more of a threat than electical damage.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
