The articulation joint was rather stout. I had no bending in that area that I
could tell. In fact what I tried to do was learn from Terry K. and his ULV-017

Actually, what I was trying to say, is that it doesn't look "real-life"
enough. A real-life vehicle with that kind of weight on a joint that small
would snap it
like a twig.

Personally, I'd have twice as many wheel assemblies anyway, because you
never know when you're going to get stuck.

Yeah, this is a great design. I've looked at it before. I really love the
docking station. Still, it needs more wheels, IMHO. One flat tire, and
you're calling for a
dropship to come rescue you.


Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Sure thing!

I'm LEGO-ing vicariously through this website right now because my little
bro is in possession of our communal LEGO bag. He enters high school this
fall, so I
think maybe then I can weasel it away. :^)
