Okay, with the exhaust issues pretty much out of the way, and a few people have agreed about the larger diameter tubing... there are other points that need to be tackled.

The wheelbase for MTs and buggies arent the same? Do I incorporate a set of front rollers that are adjustable? and if so how do I do this.

Next is this... how am I to recreate the restistance of being on road? The rollers cannot "freewheel" because they do there is a very large chance that the connecting rod will crack. If we have any engineers out there do you have a calculation for friction:force? Keep in mind that there doesnt need to be an exact resistance, just something in the ball park.

How to recreate the resistance? just one strap for the whole RC or just a suspension strap?

Hopefully over xmas when I ahve some free time from exams I will do a rough sketch and post it as a jpg so we can get an idea of my thoughts.
