hard to add steering, front end is extremely wide.

Runs very nicely Logan! Maybe go a tad faster and work out some steering?

Lower gearing, more power!!! I am working out some way to have a 2 speed in there somewhere so i can shift it from slow to fast.

Not this one, it is a strong runner+all the gearing helps a lot.

I think you could do a pretty steep grade with that....
I bet you can figure out some steering as well.
Just make sure you keep the center of gravity as low as possible
(dont want it tipping over) lol
I want to see it going through some snow or mud!
Cheers,
Casey
