Personally I recommend live axle, as it's easier to swap out wheels or gearboxes if something breaks.

Also, 12fps is too slow. Gear for around 15fps at least. We ran around 16.5fps at CalGames on 4 cims with no problems; we were running 12fps during the first half of the season, and the extra speed was very exciting.

With two speed gearboxes last season we had our high gear running us around 18 FPS and it just didn't get used that much. It very much should have, but it didn't. Our drivers have always just seemed more comfortable with a more controllable machine at a lower speed.
