Aluminum beam to link to bogie. The 161mm extrusion goes between the Bogie End and the straight side of the Rocker.
Aluminum beam to link to front corner. The 182mm extrusion goes between the angled side of the Rocker and the Front Corner.
Front corner steering mechanisms.
Rocker subassembly complete.
Rocker subassembly attached to bogie subassembly via E-clip. The three wheel mounts should all be roughly in line with each other, with the center wheel extending slightly farther away from the body than the corner wheels. If the center wheel is splayed outward at an angle, the Bogie Wheel part has been swapped side to side. See "Sawppy V1 Errata" at the end of the bogie assembly page
Rocker-bogie installed on body via E-clip.
Rocker-bogie connects to differential via turnbuckle. M3x16mm bolts without washers are used for attaching the turnbuckles.
