Says it goes more places easier then his normal 4 wheeled buggy. More stable with the mid engine on steep hills too.

Couldnt agree more Rock. It may be rough looking, but think of it as a prototype. He seemed very happy with the performance on all terrain as well as the power from the 3.8l

Wow I flipped out when I saw myself on here.Thanks for the compliments. The 2 TSL 40's rotate nearly vertical in both directions. The back tire mashes the front tire against a rock ledge for a great grip to pull itself up.And when you do roll up on something the frame only rises 1/2 the distance until the back tire picks up the other 1/2.Got some strength issues.I'll get it right.I was hoping to keep it secret until I get it right. It has a 701 1st, 553 2nd and 375 3rd gear reduction with the chain and sprockets.Haven't done anything serious with it yet. I love looking Lt or Rt and watching the front swamppers do their job.They dip way down in a hole then rise up nearly vertical. Both wheels are constantly pulling or pushing the other.Turns satisfactory in the dirt , but the tires want to sqall on the pavement.With 4 tires, I run 3 pounds of air which absorb rocks like balloons.All 4 wheels brake.I don't remember how the idea came to me , but I've seen lots of rock crawler videos and when their front tires leap up into the air their front traction is GONE for a second or two and the vehicle is already starting to roll backwards.My set up can not happen that way. Oh and the up and down travel is about 15 inches. In the photo I have the hiegth as low as I can get it which is 18 1/2 inches. Buggy has a full length metal floor, no drive shafts ,chunks, mufflers or oil pans to drag. Been talking to a patent atty in Georgia about it.Gators work similar with a chain, but have no suspension.I have nothing against any person building something like it or better, but u r n for alot of headaches.Got jigs and patterns to build another. All the geometry has to barely miss each other.
