Yep, already dismantled it. I'll post pics here in a bit, don't have em right off.
50$ seems like too much. I got mine for 10$, I saw a BUNCH for 20-40$ in the Dallas Fort worth CL. But your location may be slimmer pickings...

Thanks for posting the wheel detail, I really like your idea it was what I was trying to achieve, mounting the wheels at 45 degrees makes it work. I changed my design and I will post some pics on my build thread tonight.

Its a very nice feature. Lots of Bally cabs are made like this, and even have handles recessed into the upper back. By far the easiest cabs to move around.

Very Awesome. I was considering building a cab with detachable wings for player 3 & 4, but nothing to this crazy extent. I created a few mach-ups but was having a problem with the stability on the outer pieces. If you applied too much pressure things would start to bend.
Looking at your comps, It makes me think that you may want to add some additional reinforcements to the wings, some people tend to lean down on the cp.
Just a thought though ... Great job!

I've been mulling over the same issue. I wanted to keep the outside as clean and original looking as possible when folded up but there's no easy way to keep the wings stable. Screwing with the aesthetics a bit, I may have solved the bendy problem. I added aluminum brackets to the outside of the cab that the outer panels rest on. That with some precisely placed wood may create a deck stable enough to handle a pounding. Here is where I'm at so far...
