DUDE! Lovely. why is it I didnt see this when it was posted?... must be cus I dont check youtube anymore. :-P *waits for part two* OH! and the reason it locks is because your lower-base control arm is too short. When it gets in-line with the upper-main contol arm, the shorter lower arm has no where to go. (which means when its locked, its the peice you have to pull on to get it un-locked) Do I win a prize? XD oh, and it was very nice seeing you again. :)

@WizardGir I was wondering when you would pop up. :o Yes, that does make a good deal of sense... But even if I did lengthen the lower control arm, I'd need to re-cut and drill all the other pieces to compensate for the change in size. :x Strung a piece of elastic on the inner side of the "elbow" to help it close back up, that'll do. XD

You need to crawl back onto the interwebs more often so I can bother you! >D You haven't posted in forever. :o
