RAIL BIKE - Version 7 - BIGFOOT Tested - Wheel Orientation | Custom Axle | Stiffer Outrigger
This is the seventh prototype of the railbike I am designing and building. I had shipped version 6 off to a brave individual who is currently testing it. At this point we have figured everything out for the most part, but I wanted to test different wheel configurations and refine some of the parts to make them stiffer and more robust.
