But what I meant by "asymmetric" is that the wheelbases are not the same on each end; i.e., the middle wheels of this 6WD are not in the center of the chassis. We cut one end of the kit chassis, but not the other. It is also possible to cut both ends and obtain a "symmetric" square chassis, with the middle wheels at the center of the chassis.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
