Looks almost like a "happy moment" in sweat pants kinda deal. I think you should paint a rainbow bandana on that skull at least then it might be a bit pirate like... :-P

No, seriously!

Now that looks pretty badass! I would get rid of the wideners though. But seriously, very cool design.

Ya the wideners suck . I thought i would give them a try since the chassis is pretty wide.

We'll have to take pics from the bottom. It is actually a huge area. We've really only tried that main section. Keeps going up the mountain with various granite outcroppings between boulder fields. Used to be able to wheel the 1:1's there too but not so much now (damn the man!)
