For maximum efficiency, you should only use these setups:
 
For maximum efficiency, you should only use these setups:
   −
'''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.

   −
'''2WD, right angle''': Most lightweight classes use this setup. Decent speed. Used on MW's where a lot of the weight is put towards heavy weaponry. Ideal for MW horizontal spinner.
+
'''2WD, right angle''': Used widely by LW's and make for a decent drive.

Personally, most of my LW's use Z-tek drive, but it's just because i don't like slow bots, and i'm not forcing to use it. Most builders say this drive is enough on MW HS's and they could be right because i have little experience on HS's.

'''2WD, Z-tek ''': Neat for speedy LW's and decent for MW, although not very fast.

Good for [[Popup]]s or [[Rammer]]s.
   −
'''2WD, HP Z-tek''': Makes for very fast lightweights (you'll need practice your control while driving), neatly fast middleweights and average heavyweights. Use at least that on a HW if you want decent speed. Better than 4WD Z-tek because lighter for the same power.
+
'''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 average drive on a HW. Better than 4WD Z-tek drive because lighter for the same power.
   −
'''3WD''': You're on crack, non-symmetrical and hard to work with in Stock. Although, a few Sit & Spins and Full Body Spinners have used a 3WD setup.
+
'''3WD''': As said by one of my idols, you're on crack.
 +
This is extremely difficult to work with, often resulting on asymmetric bots that.
 +
It reduces translating speed but increases turning speed. But I must say it is perfect for a MW [[SnS]].
   −
'''4WD, HP Z-tek''': Very fast on a MW. That makes a nice drive for a HW.
+
'''4WD, HP Z-tek''': Very fast on a MW (use this on a SnS and a rammer if you want).  
 +
If you want a good HW popup, use this. Also useful in HS killers.
   −
'''6WD, HP Z-tek''': The best HW Rammers/Pistons use 6WD.
+
'''6WD, HP Z-tek''': The best drive train for HW Rammers. Several succesful [[Poker]]s use this too (not mine).
   −
'''8WD, HP Z-tek''': OK, now this is beginning to be too much.
+
'''8WD, HP Z-tek or more''': Too much, even for a HW rammer. You need weapons on your bot, too...
 
  −
'''10WD HP Z-tek or more''': You're insane.
