I have a design I've been working on for a while and finally got the bug to finish it. I can cut prototypes and put them up for sale if anyone wants them. For the most part this project is done, the only remaining issue I'm having is driveshaft binding that effects articulation in one direction only. |

Looks interesting. A shot from the top would be great. It is hard to figure out which way is which with the flexy shots. Wes |

Two testers have been sent out yesterday. I'm waiting on more hardware to arrive to package up the remaining three to send out. I hope you guys like it and I'm open to further development of the chassis. As stated there is the one articulation issue with driveshaft binding but the truck still crawls. Also, I think the addition of a damper setup with springs in a 50/50 configuration would benefit this rig. But even with these possible modifications the current design is still a fun operational chassis design.

CD13 is just getting started on his. I can't wait to get ahold of it. Mad Mike Manning and I are going to work on this together. |

Ricky, you should have yours soon. They shipped out about a week ago. I've also updated one of the parts already to make it a little stronger.
