Yep.
HORI is probably the coolest things I've seen so far this year.
I was very impressed by how he made those tracks and how well they worked.

Maybe down the track (pun intended) I'll have a go at making a tracked vehicle.
Being a 2-stroke addict though it's gonna be pretty tricky to set up......

I don't think anyone is as suprised as me how well those tracks worked lol
and yes absolutly dvp a gas version would be crazy awesome

I was thinking having the 2 track assemblies articulate independantly.. So the tracks "tilt" left or right to turn...

That way you can go flat out and turn without slowing down too much

The choice was incredibly easy! Much as though I admire the trolley, for its clever recycling, the Mad Maori's use of cordless drills, homemade tracks, and novel cargo are totally off the wall for original thinking! Well done mate!!!

Yeah, sorry DVP; the trolley was ace, but H.O.R.I. by Da Mad Maori swung it for me by being alcohol-related!

Good deal. Can never have to many of that kind of thing. Great start to something. people enjoyed the builds, was a lot of fun.

I think we've got about 5-6 guys on board for a large scale shovel build of some kind. Need to finally set a date. Problem is the summers are usually full of stuff to do already. Maybe a month or two.
