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.

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.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life.

Only people over the age of 30 know how to operate it.

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... Wink

Yeah, there’s videos of people dialing the rotary phone, then picking up the receiver. Lol
