awesome stuff

what's gonna be done about roll on corners?

some clever electronic system that pumps more air into the outside bags?

love the ideal mix of humour and engineering keep it up

thanks. ill probably just add sway bars to it, but will see how it goes without them first. with the bulk of the weight in the chassis and super low, it shouldn't roll much compared to most vehicles, so i may get away with not needing any. the shocks will be adjustable front and rear, so if i ever take it to a track or drive it hard, they can just be wound up

Whats the plan were the lower control arm at 2.32 will hit the rail?
