Had a little trouble with the wheel adapters, the wheels are deep enough that the adapter can "fall in" and off the roll pin. During this brief run it slipped off, making for a short clip. Its fixed now, just needed a spacer, but my driver is gone now. When I can get a film crew going I'll take a better video.

At least you can see that I do have runners lol!

LOL! You do have a runner! It moves along really well considering how big those tires are. A little bouncy but does really well.

On another note, I am really jealous that you have green grass. :mrgreen:

That's me doing the driving. This thing is a hoot to drive... when it runs, that is... it's about as reliable as a real Vega. ;)

Just giving you a hard time. Seriously though, it drives surprisingly well, and turns nice and tight if you tap the brakes to shift some weight forward. I only put it on its lid once, and that was a nose-over when I hit the brakes in midair. It's way more stable than a Wild Willy 2 or a Lunchbox.

Now you've got me eyeballing my pile of parts, and a set of Stampede tires...
