ya im pretty sure that was me actually XD well the thing is,i can cast my own parts out of higher grade aluminium in any shape i want,so its no biggy for me.i love how everyone says this hobby is ment to be fun,and yet everytime i post anything its negative this and teribble idea that =) im used to it though,it just adds fuel to my fire. btw with the setup ill be using (one input line for forward/reverse) it opens the possibility of a shifter (blasfemy!) and even a gas engine (burn the heratic!) so i think my idea is better(albeit more complex) and i understand the robustness of the one motor one track idea,but its much less efficient than you preach it to be you know ;) oh ya i DO know how a tracked vehicle turns friend,here is some insight for you: http://www.gizmology.net/tracked.htm just trying to help you out buddy,if inovation comes to a standstill,so will the sport!
