Very nice! I love seeing your CAD come to life; it looks much more stable than last year's drive train! It looks like your weight is distributed much better this time, too, so it should turn better and not tip quite as much. One question: how far did you end up lowering the center wheel?

Once again, great job! I can't wait to see you guys in action this coming season!

It looks really slick and sturdy, but I have to say I'm concerned about your transmissions. Specifically, I'm not certain how well they'd deal with that large cantilevered load. Especially with the extra weight of that pneumatic system on top and the vibration you'd get from bolting the compressor straight to the frame like that. I'm not saying it's certain to be a problem, but it'd make me uneasy.

Wow,

As a new Team, you make us feel like we are light years behind. possibly because we are.:ahh:

Kevin, it looks like the extrusions that go across the tops of the transmissions take care of the load pretty well, so there really isn't a cantilevered load.

Yeah that's why they're there.
