Err I wouldnt go around advertising that you are under 13 years old as I have gotten in trouble a while back for that *hint* *hint*

What tools do you have to cut material? Saw? Table saw? Knife?

Need design info, dimensions, how much weight does it have to support, over what kind of obstacles is "all-terrain"  ( steps also? ) , will it crash into objects and need to be built up like an ox?

from the looks of what your builfing its not going to be able to go on all terrain, because of the fact that your average rc vehicle the size of what it  sounds lke your going to build can go very fast on smooth surface but has no ability to go on grass youll hit it forward and it will move a little bit and jump right back to were it started.
