It means the truck is so heavy, that the suspension compresses with even all wheels on the ground. Thus it 'sags'. Easy to fix, just use stiffer springs, or space the springs off (so they are compressed, but the shock isn't compressed) and it will ride higher..

well i built my first technic model when i was 6 so yeah.....i took the chassis design from somewhere else, it took me 1 and a half year to get every thing PERFECT   |
Built my first when I was like 8... It was a Red Farriri car one.. Took two weeks of summer vacation... Takes a while, and if you screw it up, well, you're screwed...

Since you're going 540 anyways, you could always make custom metal (brass is fairly easy to cut, and solders well) extensions for the driveshaft. But then you mess up two axels everytime you glue it...

Hm... I went to sleep like 10.30pm last night, woke up at 5.00am.. Had a Red Bull during math, and now I have a drink called "No Name" that is like drinking 3.5 Red Bulls, but less liquid. Burns your throat though. (One Red Bull is ~80mg of Caffine, a can of Coca-Cola is ~30mg of Caffine.)

also check out my dogbones  ..... |
Like I said above, custom shaft extensions....
You don't need functional gears, just a good gearing, the motor can reverse and forward for you. Simplifies things... Look into Lego Robots, there's alot with drivetrains you can do...
Oh, and the dogbones looks good. Not much else you can do, but they look like they'll hold...
No problem. We'll see how this project goes. If you finish it good, you're on the team, no questions asked.
