Hydraulic steering might not be a bad idea for this beast......so, handmade dump cylinders, soon to be steering.....your almost there! All that's left is make the worlds smallest nitrogen charged suspension cylinders!

Something tells me the motors are gonna run the same price as the mad cat motors?
Why not? Lol!!! And to think this was going to be a relative easy build!!!! Everyone says never underestimate yourself? I always overestimate!!! I did pick up some fairly inexpensive planetary gear head motors from servo city. 118 rpm might be a little slow. They use a 540size motor (I think) I'm basing the drive system on them. Cheep enough to possibly replace with faster. Hard part is trying to secure them and build the axle so weight of machine and payload is on axle not on 6mm motor shaft.
