Go to Post During the day on Thursday, I had to change costumes a few times, being "Andy the inspector", to "Andy the green power ranger drive coach", to "Andy the President of AndyMark, meeting with companies". I am sure some people in the guys' bathroom were wondering what I was up to. - Andy Baker [more]

O-O---O

Was this basically creating the effect of a 6wd with a drop center for turning purposes?
squirrel nailed it.

We ended up with a wheelbase about 36" wide and 9" long. Mathematically this turned better, but we did no testing to confirm such results.

We did however try removing the center wheel, which the driver complained was too slow at turning.
