Hey, that backwards mounted wheel gives you enough room to turn sideways...

Well at least when people talk about my junk being cramped I can say"Have you seen Toybugs gizmo?"

Binder · Feb 1, 2007

That's a interesting rig you have there. Looks like Andy did some good work. Bet it takes some time to learn to drive it.

Money Mark · Feb 1, 2007

This chassis is definitely made for smaller people. And there are some ergonomics I need to work out. But overall Iâ€™m very happy with the controls. The cutting brakes are the first thing to address.

Let the learning curve begin!

You shall see what happens when you stuff a kung foo master in a rolling exoskeleton. He will evenge the wrongful doing of some rock to one of his relatives. Eeeeeyah ka cheeeeee vrooom smoke.

I was talking to some dude today about this rig. And this was what i said about the rig. I then said " He will absolutely rule lines at the rocks that noone else can do, even after they watch him run thru it twice".

A very bitchen summer waits for people who WHEEL.

Thanks for the kind words Joe. Now we'll see if the driver can live up to that.
