Yeah our original idea was to copy Ricochet or Tyco rebound type of set-up.
So we could flip over and drive on both sides.

The problem was that in order to be symmetrical the wheels would have to be huge. So we decided to still go for it but use the kit of parts set up x 2.

I'm sure it would have been a lot easier to go with one side - but we challenged ourselves to see if we could make it happen.

If everything (or even most things) work as designed - Al should be dangerous.
