M274 military mule half scale home build

Hey that is a neat build. I want to paint my kart that color. Can anyone tell me what color that is ... is there a specific name and manufacture....

The caster on the front spindles is currently 15 degrees. I did some roll tests down my steep driveway to dial this in. being that you're sitting over the front wheels, the suspension and steering geometry is not as conventional as other vehicles. I had to design a dual steering shaft system that looks like this.

ONLY NEED TWO WIGGLE JOINTS

Nice

here are a few more development pictures that show more chassis detail. I'll upload more pictures as i finish this half scale mule. I'll also take some video driving footage when it's finished.

very nice work
