Re: 6WD Chassis Stiffness vs. Maneuverability

Looks like we will have to run an experiment. I will do a tilt test to estimate actual CG height.

I really think that the poster talking about carpet stiffness vs. chassis stiffness is on to something. I think we will build an experimentally stiffened chassis.

NICKE/254? You said that you had to retread wheels daily on your middle and rear wheels. Was the tread-wear even? More on the inside? More on the outside? I do a little amateur racing and you can tell a lot from your tires...
