Re: West Coast Drive Terrain video?

The advantage arises from ease of fabrication and weight. A simple West Coast drive can be fabricated in <2 days with only rudimentary tools. This allows more time for driver training and design. Often West Coast drives also require less frame material and thus weigh less.

As an example:
A West Coast drive could be made by welding a rectangular steel frame and welding on 1/2 in. steel bolts for axles.
