Re: Modify Wheels?

sorry to hijack this thread (just a little) We're a rookie team and wanted to know if we were restricted to using the 8" standard wheels or could we use 4"/6" wheels with traction tread from Andymark? We are thinking that lowering the height by 4" would allow us to get through the tunnel easier plus would lower our C.G; but, may pose a problem getting "over the hump". Has anyone else tried this or considered it?

Thanks!

Re: Modify Wheels?

You can definitely use those 4 or 6 inch wheels.

Just remember that your bumpers must still be in the bumper zone (10-16" from the floor) in the NORMAL CONFIGURATION
