Ok thanks now I know how it works!!! So basically your frame is partially threaded rod as well... did you take this approach?

I used 3D printed parts and epoxy to for my caliper steering system. I have pictures on the Best of 2017 page. Additionally, if you want to email me, I can send you additional resources.
Yeah I thought the same thing. At least 10% of my vehicle's weight comes from the threaded axles alone. If I were to have more threaded rod in my frame... *shudder*... I would have one really heavy vehicle...
I will definitely look at the best of 2017 page... and I would appreciate the additional resources

! Should I PM my email to you then?
As an unrelated side note, can I upload pictures of my buggy and my tower to the Best of 2018 page even though they weren't the best?
