Yes, I know all about the 6 wheel drive and the center one being a little lower. It is just like a Home Depot shopping cart. What I was asking though is if the 4 outer wheels have toe in. On Kingman's bot, it did appear to have about 2 degrees of toe in per wheel (or "toe out" depending on your perspective of front and rear of the vehicle)
