A minimum of 2 [[small battery packs]] should power your drive. But if you can, choose a nifty instead.

A [[Nifty]] is enough for a maximum of 2 HP Z-teks.

A [[Supervolt]] is enough for a maximum 4 HP Z-teks.

You can overdo this and underpower your bot, and that can be a good idea in some cases, but beware the battery power.
Don't forget your weapons, too - a [[VS]] with 2WD Z-tek drive and a HP Z-tek powered weapon needs one nifty.

'''2WD, right angle''': Used widely by most lightweights

'''2WD, Z-tek ''': A good choice for speedy LW's.
'''2WD, Z-tek ''': A good choice for speedy LW's, like [[Rammer]] hybrids, [[Popup]]s, and maybe a pure rammer.
'''2WD, HP Z-tek''': Makes for very fast lightweight rammers (you'll need practice your control while driving).

Most MW rammers and popups use this drive.

This is the low power drive on a HW. Better than 4WD Z-tek drive because more than 2 times lighter for the same power and battery consumption.

'''3WD, HP Z-tek''': As said by one of my idols, you're on crack.
'''3WD, HP Z-tek''' (as well as 5WD and other uneven numbers but i've never seen a 5WD of my entire bot building life): As said by one of my idols, you're on crack.
This is extremely difficult to work with, often resulting on bots with a bizarre symmetry.

It reduces translating speed but increases turning speed, as so it is perfect for a MW [[SnS]].
