@FasterThanLight I get it
@Sm10684 Sweet. The trailer's wheels aren't powered. I wanted something for the rig to tow around.
@FasterThanLight yeah I guess that fine. As long as the trailer wheels aren’t powered.
@Sm10684 Well darn. I put a lot of effort into it. It's separate from the actual tow vehicle, so would it be possible to just ignore it during your testing?
@FasterThanLight There really shouldn't be a trailer at all. I add my own.
@Sm10684
Small inquiry. I see the maximum wheel limit is 8 wheels. My rig has 6 wheels total, but a trailer which has 4 additional wheels, which puts it over the limit for the challenge. My question is, is the wheel limit for the tractor itself? Or for the entire build? If it's the latter, then would my entry be disqualified? or simply penalized?
@FasterThanLight awesome!
Right up my alley!
