He's going to need a solar panel on that thing to keep the batteries charged enough to get up a 1/4 of that hill with his carcass in it.

Remember way back when Honda made the Odyssey? A friend of mine had one.
He learned the hard way that sticking your arm out to stop it from falling over, does not work well. Snapped is wing right in half.

No worries Chris, I know your rig has those outboard wheels for tipping.



Very cool pix there Colo!

ordered parts early this week from mfgsupply.com

all but the brake caliper mount, brake disc and axle bearings/mounts came in. was fast too. $7 for shipping, ordered tuesday and showed up today from wisconsin.

backordered parts should be here in 7-10 days then game on. build time. will take pics of the build. have to take the body off and run the lines etc for brakes and throttle. have not told the boy that the parts are here yet. so much of me wants to build it tonight but I know I would be in for a whoopin if I started without him and he won't be over to my place until next weekend. I am just as excited as he is I think!
