Plagiarism not a problem Peter, that's how I got the final idea for this one!..Google "Amyrobb" and have a look at the buggy which gave me the basic plan. I gave the front wheels a wider wheelbase so it would turn well without the wheels binding on the frame, and devised a different system to connect the steering assembly to the main body without having to have the axle frame on a different height to the main frame.

I'll put up some dimensions and build photos if anyone is interested.
