Post Stress testing a Rhino
So, our team did a stress test on the Rhino drivetrain last night:

Slow motion Youtube video of the drop.

We loaded it to the max weight of 120 lbs. and dropped it intentionally on a corner of the drivetrain. We elevated it approximately 9 inches off of the ground, which we believe is a reasonable test and could easily happen when traversing the defensive elements.

Overall, it performed well. There was no bending or damage of any kind. So far, we are happy with the performance.
