I tried to keep the wheels as close in as possible so it had a smaller figure and would fit in tighter spaces as that is very handy for a recon vehicle.

In fact, i first noticed the 6 wheeled version, on one of the screens, after you mentioned it.
Just was wondering about the center of mass, looks like it's a bit too high above the ground, while the wheels are quite close to its down vector. Vehicles do not handle quite well in SE, so when i design one, i allways try to mount the wheels as far from the center of mass as possible to keep the car from tumbleing. But if it works, as you say, it's definetly awesome.

It drives just fine assuming you don't try to make a turn going 100mph, but I assume you are refering to the LAAIV, the one with 6 wheels.

Looks great from here, but does it drive that stable with the tires mounted that close to another?
