Nice, very nice! That went over a whole lot better than some 4wd designs I've seen. Loving it!

I think we only kinda saw the dismount. I think it'd be interesting to see the entire thing traverse the bump.

Have you tried going over without the weight? Where is your battery placed? I'm not sure of the clearance that thing gets, but will bumpers be an issue?

It shows it going over the traversing then bump granted it is one shot over at speed but still looked to perform well so far.

The whole traverse was covered. Compared to some 4wd tests I've viewed on youtube and our testing have showed them to want to go slower over the bump because it will rock back and forth causing it to want to tip. The tank treads rolled right up and over and one smooth movement.

Looking good!

Re: M'Aiken Magic and you said it COULDN'T BE DONE!

We handmade them ourselves plastic rivits, and secret technique, it cleared the bump several times no problem. It actually did better without the weight. The battery is on the back under the electronics board.

Very Kewl.
I have one question. Where are you going to mount the bumpers? Too bad you have to cover a sweet machine with bumpers
