maybe its just the angle in the pic, but wouldent it have made more sense to put the larger wheels in the front to reduce to lliklihood(sp) if tipping forward? Nevertheless, i like the design.

OT: Is that car a school/student progect? If so, i wish my school did something like that.

By having the small wheels in the front, the fulcrum point is moved forward to the max. The big wheels in the back help counterbalance the tetra load when extended, and give good traction when the arm is back over them.

Thanks for the comments. Good luck in the competition!

We have to have something to do in the off season! We race at Riverhead Raceway.

If you can cap a racecar, you can cap a goal!
