Corky,One minor thing about the difference between the solid axleand the "V" axle is that the solid axle sits on skinny tires andhas a tread of about 54" and the "V" axle sits on fat tires andhas a tread of 56". This should give the impression of havinga narrower tread with the solid axle.The shock absorbing action is taken up by elastic shock cord, which resembles a giant rubber band, basicly the same stuff as on a Piper Cub. HOWEVER, the straight axle solves any alignment problemsright from the start AND it sure looks GREAT!!!Or as Sonny and Sher sang, "And the beat goes on... and theengine keeps on beatin' out it's rhythm to the brain...pocketa-pocketa-pocketa." (I'm sure that's how it goes.)RodgerPiet in progress________________________________________________________________________________
