As per the last year's rule book,there can be more than 4 wheels on a baja car. Freakin! rule..Tongue 
Even though there are several disadvantages of using 6 wheel(Transmission,maintenance production costs).
Does anybody have an idea on how a 6 wheeled ATV can be designed.Confused
The drives,whether the power should be given for the rear most wheel or both four rear wheels.Embarrassed
And design variations in braking,steering mechanisms.Ouch
