Just from general browsing it looks like most of you guys are into scale tanks. I thought you might get a kick out of this project that I have been working on. It a little outside of the box. I designed this from scratch and machined all of the parts over a three month period. I have been told countless times that it reminds people of the Howe and Howe Ripsaw. I was actually unaware of the Ripsaw until I was well into the project. It is significantly different than the ripsaw in that each track assembly is independently suspended from the chassis. Some stats
1. 62cc two stroke motor with custom made pipe
2. Custom Gearbox with independent/proportional control of left and right tracks from forward to neutral to reverse.
3. 400 man hours of labor
2. 200 machine hours
4. Roughly 600 custom machined parts.
5. 76 pounds of aluminum, plastic, and steel.
