Re: 4WD vs. Chain Drive

2 CIM motors with the gear ratios from the kit transmissions provide more than enough power for this years' surface.

4 motors would make you go no faster nor push harder (it would allow you to use higher gear ratios, I suppose).

The difference comes down to what is easier to mount in your frame.
