Giving it steering would be nice. Un-System-ey, perhaps, but I think that once you get above a certain size of wheelbase it feels better to drive it about if it steers. Other than that, it’s hard to think of anything else. Was there a link to clearer pictures?

Cheers,


Heh, yeah, I know the ‘filtered’ preview pic isn’t all that descriptive. Sorry, I don’t have any other pics as of yet.

Yeah, steering was definitely a consideration. Since the wheelbase is so wide, it would help a. And like you said, it’s un-system-ey, and would complicate the construction quite a bit. But it’s definitely something I may try and work into it.


Thanks for the suggestion, Paul.
