Can't wait to see the new renders

I'm looking forward to seeing your build take shape.Thank you. I worked today on my caravan. Only thing I need to do is finishing my electric part. Just solder a few wires and it is ready.
In the coming days, I will work on the front suspension.
I need to work it further out. I will also ad the steering in the model.
It will probably get a lot of lacer cutting parts again, but that isn't a problem. It makes it a lot easier to work with. I can easily make the diskbrake mounts without I need to measure it.
What I do now, takes the most time. As the concept is good for me, then I need to work it out, check everything and make drawings and files for the factory.
I also need to design parts that help me holding the parts on its place for welding. I will print them on my 3D printer. I worked by my previous build very well and I didn't expect that, so I didn't make for everything a part for welding.
This time i will do it for all parts.
Welding goes so much faster and it fits so much better together, that I safe a lot of time and don't need to adjust things of do things over.
I will try to finish the concept next week.
Then I can make new renders.
I can't wait till I can start building.
All this 3D design/rendering I assume saves you time because you have to travel somewhere to build your Quad and also you want to make 2 or more hence the laser cut parts speeding up the build.What I do now, takes the most time.

Yes it is more expensive, but we try to get a good deal for the steel.Stainless steel is 4 to 6 times more expensive than steel. It's also a tad heavier than steel, and not stronger unless you go for certain alloys.
Underseat steering gets my vote.
26" wheels easy to find, but less strong than 20" wheels. On the other hand, with 4 to spread the load, and with the right tyres...
Just posted a few.Can't wait to see the new renders
