I never thought to use those big wheels at a 90 angle before! I've always used them in the default position, as a result the vechiles been too high and the centre of gravity was too high too

The car doesn't work (won't roll) if you put the big wheels on at an angle. However as this was a replica challenge that wasn't important. To make up for it I made it fly instead by hiding some propellers under the bodywork.

Glad I did well, I was pretty pleased with the result. Especially as I had to build it twice. I wasn't paying attention and didn't realise I'd built the whole thing backwards the first time. I had to start again from scratch!

Because of the chair?

So many times I had half built a vechile, only to realise that I had made it sideways or backwards They really should let you rotate the cockpit

Yup. I built the whole thing then went to put the chair in and realised it was all backwards and there was strawberry float all I could do about it. You have to check which way the road is rolling when you start building.

The second build was better than the first though, so it all worked out in the end.

I always build around the chair.

I usually do, but given the nature of my replica the chair was a minor component.

I've done the whole chair in reverse thing too many times to mention :lol:

I have since learned the error of my ways.

Can't you just select the whole vehicle and rotate it?

Thanks to all who voted, new thread up tomorrow afternoon.

It's kind of sad that I ended up with 2 votes overall. And I know who the other person who voted for me was. :lol:
