Let's see some photos! |

for wheel diameter of 13 inches, I have not found anything better
This tires is very cheap, 7-8 dollars per wheel
in the future when the wheel is mounted 15-inch buy good tires |

| I still want one! I was thinking it might be a good generator power plant. I love seeing engineering from other parts of the world. |

he was pointing out the difference in geometry between a VW engine and that engine. The cylinder head is closer to the bottom of the engine on a VW and the pic you posted shows an engine with the head closer to the top of the engine.
google translate.
он указывал на различие в геометрии между двигателем VW и этого двигателя. Головка цилиндра ближе к нижней части двигателя на VW и рис, размещенных вы показан двигатель с головкой ближе к верхней части двигателя.
knowing google, that translation off a bit. |

Notice those rear arms, American guys. Pretty cool. They have a slight angle in their pivots. That should work nice and provide a slight camber change with body roll. They look good. They might need a little reinforcement for hard offroad use, but they show good potential. The hubs look small, and may need to be replaced with bigger hubs from some other vehicle.
But there is one thing I want to point out:
It is the chair. I think our new friend Dima has been sitting there making engine noises!
