Re: 2 Motors is Faster?!

Another thing answering your question;
In this game traction is everything. And you want the most traction.
So with the two wheel bases, they both are relitively the same weight (I know weight is added for extra motors and wheels, but I'm talking on a very general level).
So with four wheels, if the weight was 100, each wheel carried 25 pounds (ok, so I know this is a little off, and I don't have enough physics background to properly explain this, but once I'm done, this should make sense), but on the two wheel, each wheel carried 50 pounds, which created more friction which gave it more... power (if thats the right word....)


EDIT: No one really explained that to you, and thats why the two-wheeled went faster (or as my mentors explained)...
