We already had these modules machined (they are the same as our 4 wheel swerve) which is why I used them in this model.
1/16th? to hold up that whole thing? I know of weight reasons why you would use 1/16th but isn't this system taking allot of stress? I wouldn't even use 1/16th on a simple 6wd... just my opinion.
