Re: 172's built...a truck!

In our final design, we plan on shortening the front "yoke" piece, so that it rotates entirely (or almost entirely) within the confines of the frame. Essentially we plan to just shorten the assembly up, and drop the frame down around it for protection. (thus allowing front bumpers, more protection of the wheels/gears, etc)

The back axle you see there is simply some scrap lexan, a shaft we had lying around, and a pair of bearings. It'll be different.

Thanks for the comments!
