Yeah, how come we didn't see your build Ben? You did this months ago! My drive motors are held in with stainless tubing from a yard light so I wouldn't talk trash about your way of doing it.lol I was actually thinking of emailing you to talk shop on this. I was wondering how yours was working and how much weight you might have added? What type of material did you add to the drum for weight? BB's or? I think traction will be decent with the rubber tires although I am a bit concerned about only having the tires doing the driving. I don't think Keith and I are expecting these things to climb mountains though so it should be alright.
