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

'''1 wheel drive, right angle''': This is used only on [[antweights]], to make a powerful [[HS]]. You can drive forward/backward using the right angle and turn left/right using the recoil of the spinner motor.

This is the average drive on a HW. Better than 4WD Z-tek drive because lighter for the same power.

It reduces translating speed but increases turning speed. But I must say it is perfect for a MW [[SnS]].

If you want a good HW popup, use this. Also useful in HS killers.

[[Shiny Hubs]]''' are considered as the best wheels, mainly because of their low weight (12kg) for a decent diameter. You can make a bot invertible with that if you minimize your chassis's height. Perfect if your bot is on a diet (LWs)

'''Slipperbottom''' wheels are a worthy choice too, because they have a larger diameter and a better grip than Shiny Hubs, and are very useful for when you need guaranteed invertibility. However, they weigh 18kg, 6 more kg than Shiny Hubs.

'''Rubber wheels''' are also good: these have the best grip of the three and provide Stock's best ground clearance when on Zteks. Rubber wheels weigh 17kg.

Avoid other wheels, there are heavier and are big targets for your opponent. Using [[miniwheels]] is not usually worthy even if they are small targets, because they're heavy too.
