Hi Leo, you are right about the drive....its in a perfect position. It controlled really well aside from my little wheel problem.It could even out-turn Beauty.. The only problem I have is that by mounting the wheels where you put them, it increases the over all height of Wedgie, by the height of the wheels. So, if I want a body shell to go from low level to as high as possible, I end up using more material which means more weight!Ideally I would like to enclose the ram inside the body like Little Flipper or Beauty.Dont know why because it works very well as it is !
