Seems like it would have some seriously tall gearing for a crawler. Wonder what they did to address that? I assume they are using the stock brakes for the steering?
Very cool. Would love to know more about it. |
Should go quite slow forwards (using the reverse gear) but very fast in reward (four forward gears). |
Unless the ring and pinion were flipped over. _________________ nothing |

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.

Looks like a touch tone phone. Other than having to lift the handset first before dialing, I doubt anybody under 30 would have a hard time figuring out how to push the number buttons. Now a rotary dial phone might have them scatching their heads... _________________ 1960 Ragtop w/Semaphores "Inga" |

Yeah, there’s videos of people dialing the rotary phone, then picking up the receiver. Lol _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far
