Just posting b/c I am very happy the increased database space size have definitely improved the forum speed.

well if steering ever becomes a problem for you, if i may make a suggestion to keep you from losing the nose, or anything else.  Simply arch a V into the arm, as so....

Shaggy - Dude.... Seriously - AMAZING work with that 3D model! I actually typed up a long, gushing post after I saw your thread, but I couldn't post it because of board errors. I finally gave up trying to post it, but it basically explained how shocked and amazed I was at your work. haha.

thanks very much everyone. Nice images Shaggy...I agree with Justin

I did get a little more turning room after straightening and slightly moving up my wheel mounts. When they were angled and back, the tires didn't clear the 45 degree angle in the inner arm. now it does.

For some reason in this next picture the tires look off, but when i look at it, it's fine. Don't know if it's how i was standing or what...but anyway I'm ok with this much turn radius for now.




...does it come in black?

Moving this thing around is becoming necessary and it's gotten heavier. so made a quick dolly. ahh that's better.
