I think having two independent "spinning" features in the wheel will mean that even if it does stick, the wheel will still spin though, after time - I can see it being an incredibly smooth ride. I never thought of the wheel system before the rover but the more I play around with it, the more I really like it and hope to use it on future models. Thanks for your comment Josh!

Looking forward to seeing the finished rover.

Allowing you to bring a lot more designs to market in a shorter time span. In the future you might consider charging for creation of 3d animations for other designers as the online marketplace for this sort of thing expands. Or even market the service to physical blueprint providers!:) I think you’re on the right track Jon; the 3d animations allow people who can’t read a blueprint visualize the design without you having to front the cost of physically making an example.
