Kinda funny that you mention one wheel wonders tires spinning; because
that just happens to be the reason behind having two wheels (in some
cases four wheels) getting power instead of the one.  Now that i think
of it, i haven't drove a one wheel wonder in years, but i still remember
how much i despised the way it felt under power.
