The neat thing about the wood chassis concept, is that you can build a couple of them, using different designs, for not much money. Then you can see how they work.

but wouldent having the wheels directly driven do both jobs at the same time and be stronger and lighter?


ill see if i can get back to home depot and get some more wood,

ill try building your design and see what happens
