Re: 6wd tank with 2 omnis?

3042 used a 6w WCD this year, and were having enough problems with brownouts due to our long wheelbase that we decided to switch the two back wheels to omnis. This is obviously not the same as your suggestion, as going forward we didn't get the traction of 4 standard wheels, but I can speak to the stability and maneuverability of the 2 omni, 4 traction wheel concept as a whole. definitely helps turning ability when dealing with tight corners and cramped conditions, so I would be confident in this setup's viability for getting around defenders. That being said, nothing provides better evidence that real-world testing, so I might suggest trying our some omnis on an old 6w drivetrain if possible.

Attached is a good view of our 2015 drivetrain to show what our setup looks like.
