True. I do have one of those robo rider worm gear boxes in the ankle though.

The shocks only take up a little of the slack, I figure if the weight starts
to prove beyond the ability of the joint I'll add another set of shocks at
another angle or move to the old z40 to z8 wormgear combo. That'll take care
of it I'm pretty sure.

As it stands now, my concern is with the hips. I may redesign them.
Cool thanks, we'll see how the joints shape up, I'll keep a close eye and
modify as needed.
Thanks!
Ya, do they still publish OMNI?
