Greetings!
Thanks for sharing the pictures! Interesting results!.. Just some insights to
share... on the car with the large technic tires, bracing to keep the frame
square might reduce the tendency to twist, although the turning resulted in
interesting footage... I also don't know if the wheel distance side to side,
(front shorter than rear ) being different didn't also contribute. Those new
tires that came on the big blue two truck "might" work out a little better due
to not as much flex as the large ones that were used ... They used to be
available from S@H fairly cheap....
Anyway, Thanks for sharing your experiment and good luck with the next one!
