Re: pic: 6wd - revised - feedback requested

Thx for the suggestions.

We used the 4 omni's last year and it worked very well - although I am definitely keeping options open to use only 2 in the front. obviously the game may make this whole design not very good anyway.

The gussets have been suggested often and it's probably something we will strongly consider. Just worried about them getting in the way. We didn't use them last year but our whole chassis was 3/16" rather than 1/8" so maybe that made the difference. Plus we didn't have any huge impacts.

All of the lightening holes will be dependent on if we can find a shop to help us. Otherwise we have ZERO ability to do anything this fancy. I would love to lighten the Super Shifters as well but that's way beyond our abilities as well.

this design is already 20+ lbs lighter than last years so even if we couldn't do everything shown here then we are a little ahead already.

thx,
