Re: pic: 4wd Geared WCD

Looks like an interesting concept. A Few Suggestions to look into, many said by other people already:

- move the gears to the inside of the frame
- utilize the reduction provided by using those large gears, this may involve looking into using the standard Andymark shifting gearset with a custom final gear ratio.
- have the electronics/base plate one piece, with cutouts for the trans
- Add Bumper Mounts, check front clearence for bumpers, it looks like the wheels are infront of the chassis' leading edge.
- consider alternate wheel sizes and types, there are many options out there (I'm currently in the colsons are great line of thought)

Keep up the good work!
