Re: 4WD vs. Chain Drive

Either would work for you. Just remember that you need to power any wheels that in contact with the floor to give yourself the best acceleration at possible.

You can, of course do 4WD with two motors and chains to all wheels.
In this game I would really doubt if you will need 1 motor per wheel because the friction is so low that you can't apply much torque to the wheels anyway.

Two motors is lighter...

Good luck!!
