Re: Dual wheel per axle set crab-steer concept

I'm not sure you would gain as much advantage here as you think. Generally speaking, more wheels on the floor does not equal more pushing force. There is a very small advantage gained, but friction theoretically is not affected by surface area.

But, if you do end up building it, I would love to see it. The transmission/differential should come out looking pretty sweet.
