Craig, are you using single-speed?

Yeah, I'm doing Single Speed. Though there was a CAD project I did a while back that added a simple 2 speed option to a Banebots... It's a bolt on final stage. If you need multiple speeds, but don't have the space, it's totally doable. (and another hint: Your second "speed" doesn't need to be attached to the wheels, maybe to a winch, or some other mechanism.)

I'd second the suggestion for the BaneBots.

We've never had problems with them in our experiences. great boxes.
