| | | | (...) Thanks, That looks really neat; is the 4-wheel steering and 4-wheel drive done by using two of those universal "swivel" axle joints per wheel and 3 differentials?

| | | | The shocks in the Silver Champion ARE stiffer. The lever action is just how they happen to be used in the "Silver Champion" instructions. Or did I not understand your point?
