Cool...I think I have a vague idea of how one can be made using that slip
gear; let me know if you ever happen to get some photographs of the design...

Yeah I noticed that too...since all the Lego pieces (or almost all) are made
using the same plastic mold, it probably won't be that simple...
The MLD isn't too hard to build either, although I haven't had any luck with
an ALD yet. Although many sources seem to say that the MLD is probably the
best overall for both off-road and paved terrain...only reason it isn't used
much in real life is the cost. I'll probably just stick to this thing in my
creations...
