    Neat Rickie. Kinda like a butterfly wheel from a drag car. I like the play by play on your projects.

    Trying to wrap my mind around the physics of what you are doing. Installing the larger custom wheel instead of the standard EZ glide handle options, will that reduce the rotation lock to lock of 2.8 rotation that the standard version has?
