Re: Drive train help.

If you intend to make jumps or lots of off road stunts I would use wood as it is much cheaper to replace when it brakes. (aluminum my bend making it a pain to fix) Wood is also quite resilient, and it can take a beating, I would go with 1x4 sides with 2x4 supports Like this. If you intend to do tricks off road or on (like burnouts) you might want to drop your number of wheels down to 4 for less friction. hope this helps!
