Re: pic: Articulated 6WD prototype

we found that just raising the chassis with a regular 4 wheel drive works just fine. Also the bumper rules are a bit different this year, I don't remember the exact height, but it is drastically larger than the 2inch restriction from previous years.

So although I personally love the 6 wheel drive configuration, it just seems more practical to save weight and work with 4 wheels.

But don't let that stop you from trying it!
