Thanks guys. Need materials once again to do the cage work and suspension. I'm unemployed and running out of $$ though so it will probably go to the back burner for a while.

Swapped the tires again to some off a 1/18th(?) Honda quad. These are the best performance wise so far. They're not as tall but have better grip.

I finally got the cage and suspension sorted. I left it fairly stiff to combat torque twist.

Had to replace the board, lost reverse for some reason. Didn't bother to waterproof it this time.

Testing vid.

Thanks, yours looks good so far. I have a lot of spare parts if you get in a bind.

This line took me most of the day to make clean. I wanted to really wring it out before I sent it. Everything is smooth as butter.

That little thing is sweet. How many hours do you think you spent on it to get it this far?

Thanks. More hours than I care to recall...

I had to walk away from it a couple of times due to burn out. The steering and the suspension were the trickiest for some reason. I still feel like I settled somewhat with the suspension. A lot of this build was an experiment.
