Re: Wheel direct drive

Direct Drive is awesome. You get great speed (we did at least). You don't have to worry about the chain breaking. And you will weigh less. Regardless, do not use direct drive unless you hate your designers. We did that last year and to put it simply, you have about 1" of clearence if you use a direct drive(assuming you don't offset your wheels). Though it works great, don't give your designers all headaches. I still remember the pain.
