Mr Mountain Monster (MMM) was originally named Mr Suspense because his main modification to the Mr Basic kit from DAGU is the suspension and flexible drive system. Both the suspension and flexi-drive make use of steel cable. The Mr Suspense blog provides some detail on the design and construction. I've uploaded an introductory video showing one of his first test drives. Now that the basic platform seems road-worthy, it's time to start adding sensors, actuators, etc. The real fun begins...
