Similarly, the plain old screenshots tend to look bad to me because they just look unfinished. However, this picture I like; it doesn't look like a failed job at photorealism, but, at the same time, it also it doesn't look like some random screenshot. Nice work!
Thanks. I used the Illustration rendering mode in Inventor 08. It's my new best friend.

As for the pinion gears, it's a bad habit of mine to not put them in. I need to work on not doing that anymore...

All 6 wheels are powered. The frame will be welded. (you'd see bolts if it weren't) Plus, I'm a fan of welding, as it's lighter than bolts, as well as a proven method.
