BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Read the small print.
It changes the picture.

- Plan turning space for Ackermann steering rather than treating it as a skid-steer base.
- Review the license on each CAD and software repository before commercial reuse.
- Confirm the exact edition, current destination availability and delivered price with the seller. A listed product is not a live-stock guarantee.
