I've got a question... 2 parts: 1) how can it be a 2009 drivetrain teaser when the game was release mere hours ago, 2) i guess you'll be switching those traction wheels out for the rover wheels in the KOP?

EDIT: Also, I'd be impressed if you don't throw those belts. Those CIMs are powerful motors, and those cogs don't appear to have any sort of retention method.

Hmm, maybe due to the lack of friction on the ground material, possibly belts will be a better choice. Due to the point of weight? Less friction means, less chance for the belts to be torn apart?

. Illegal Wheels. I guess this is what Bill was saying on his blog.
