Good job, I like your no straight axle designs, TD! What kind of weight will you be pulling? I find that rolling over uneven rocky sections stress the structure at several "G"s. One of your previous pictures showed a sloping rocky launch area, and that might be a good road test....
How's the stow aboard capability-looks better than the modified golf cart design.... Weight at 2.5 # is fabulous, you have a winner!
Thanks.

[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have a couple of tweaks I want to do on it and I want to drive it around the block a couple of times with a full load. Actually, I just do that to drive the neighbors crazy. You can see them looking out their windows and hear them calling in the kids and dogs before I come by. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]So far it seems to be the answer. Wider wheel base, good clearance, wide wheels for soft surfaces, Easy on and off with the wheels if needed, etc. And, I weighed the whole thing after I had all the parts together and it weighs barely 2.5 pounds.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I will be putting together a step by step with more pictures and measurements. But here are a couple to give you the idea.[/#0000ff][/quote]
