Damn those wheels are heavy

My friend Peter from Drift-Angle in Slovakia asked me about the 100x100 tube construction, "Isnt it overkill ?"

Well, no, the 2mm wall makes it rather light, the wheels however .... are a different matter.


 


Throwing around a length of 100x100 at 1400mm long isnt difficult, then you add wheels ... wow. Was shocked how heavy it all became.

Progress tho, and its pretty well done, just needs a couple more decals. However, it rolls, and rolls too easy. Is that a bad thing ?

 

Well, in this case, it can be. I have a feeling the car will run away ... i will have to add brakes to the rear castors, but ill also probably want to setup some stopper legs that go under the beams.

I sat on it, and moved about, and im not kidding when i say it moves easier than my wheelchair. Oops.
