Hi

Our drivetrain consists 4-8in wheels with 48 tooth
sprockets powered by 2 drill motors w/ 18 tooth
sprockets. In low gear. The thing is we were driving
this thing around for 4 weeks before competition w/ no
side load problems or any thing. Weve had this
drivetrain for 3 years and nothing has gone wrong
since. Also...we did replace the wiring on the motors,
in fact we replaced the actual motors 3 times. So im
not posotive either of these solutions would work, but
we can try again. We are desperate

Any other ideas

Thank
