Re: Wildstang 2012: After The Game

Excellent job with the editing Steve! First time I've actually seen most of these since filming.

We had to assemble each bearing block around the main extrusion. When all of the mounting hardware is removed, the bearings are actually the only thing holding the carriages onto the extrusions. Then we put in everything else (axles/sprockets, gearbox output shaft), and then put the chain on. Gearbox was last. This is probably not the most efficient way to do it. These were inspired by our 2011 modules, but those were much easier to assemble because those bearing slots in the extrusion were cut out all the way to the ends so we could pre-assemble each bearing block. We changed that on the 2012 iteration to give the frame a bit more of a solid mounting point as the modules were part of the frame this year.

That would be me.
