[arfrce]

Interesting. Dunno about military use. Seems that a mine would tear it apart. Would be great for hunting guides, Or extreme offroading.

very creative!!! cool

 

[m8magicandmystery]

looks like a whole lot of trouble to me...

 

[ruffryder]

It looks like it is a manually articulating not automatic? It looks like he is hitting switches / levers to get it to articulate. It sure seems like it can go some cool places though. I want to see it lift the whole vehicle up really high (water fording mode) then drop it down real low (homie mode). ha ha.

Anyone know what type of transmission / gear drive thing it has for each wheel? It has the gear to gear drive on the wheels from the H1, but I am curious as to how the power is transferred.

Hyd. motors to a planetary gear. Track hoes are the same. Each wheel has its own motor.
