though brainstorming i noticed a problem with landing. i noticed small cracks and issues with landing on uneven terain. while walking through automotive store; i found a solution. with combination of bungy straps and windshield wiper blades i was able to absorb more of the force from landing. any opinions on setup?

a closeup pic would be nice. thanks.

looks pretty awesome! Reminds me a tank with it's caterpillars

The blades are removable so for transport it's not a problem

Bungees are temporary , I'm looking for the small black bungee cords with hooks to easy setup. For dusk to dawn flying and landing I found the rayovac head lights that have 2 settings white and red. Very useful too bad I can't turn on and off from remote

Thanks much

Cool idea!

Yes, very cool idea!

Ahhhh!!! Cheers... Yes. That's what it reminds me of... A Tucker Sno-Cat.

It didn't click until I ...

Yup me too,  The Tucker Sno-Cat is manufactured right here where I live.

thats a good suggestion

This is actually a good idea. For the X5 it will give better ground clearanse. There could be that someone could 3d print aomething to make the wipers snap on/off ? I just wonder if the blades would be visible when panning the camera ?
