Re: pic: Up Swampthing's Skirt
I'm not on 179, but I do recall them using two CIM motors on each side, run through AM shifters with a 6WD setup. There's a teaser image of the goped wheels they used somewhere on CD.

Re: pic: Up Swampthing's Skirt
swampthing is a 2-speed 6wd drivetrain. the middle wheels are lower about 3/8' by accident they were originaly meant to be .2" but the welding warped the frame. perhaps for the best. the front and rear wheels are in more as a direct result of the octagonal shape, Although this configuration put the wheels in more of a circular pattern and in my opinion increased performance and maneuverability. On Team 494's Dyno the top speed was rated at 11.5 FPS. the wheels have a coefficient factor of 1.6 on the competition carpet. winner of the Florida and palmetto regionals. it has truly proven its worth.

Re: pic: Up Swampthing's Skirt
A chassis this beautiful with so many interesting functional details really deserves a whitepaper.
