Re: Thoughts on the new AM14U 2014 KOP Drive train?
The AM14U is an excellent drive train for its ease of building and versatility. The belt drive is a winner.
We used a VersaChassis last year and spent a good bit of time dealing with chain tensioners and defective ball shifter transmissions. This one is too simple to go wrong! We built four of them (partially) in our rookie build session yesterday.
The square option is rather attractive for this game, even though it's not shown on the instruction manual. Just cut off one end and make the tub ~5" narrower.
