so, what do we think?

personally, its a little goofy, and from experience with legos i know the front will have a hard time flexing while going forward because it loads up against the truck and the rear wheels pushing forward. its still pretty cool and im glad to see people keep innovating!

I've seen it before. I think it was in the Readers rides in Peterson's years ago. I think they guy is a random inventor kind of guy and worked in the aviation industry. Seems pretty cool and that it would do pretty well in many different kinds of situations. I believe it was super heavy and prone to breaking. Kind of along the lines of the old power wagon that has the adjustable wheel base and sliding frame.

It can obviously wheel, but how would it fare in a lowrider bounce-off? :hillbill:

Pretty dang cool idea right there, seems to me it articulates a wee bit to much and might be prone to roll overs?

and yes, 5900lbs is a wee bit on the heavy side... haha
