Are the drives hydrostatic (high pressure pump running a high pressure motor in a closed loop)? Craftsmanship looks incredible!!!! Aluminum frame? How long does it take to design such a cool beast?
@Heavykevyful It was featured in the July 2010 Fourwheeler mag. 4300lbs 22mph 2.8l i-6 from a datsun. Two hydrostatic pumps, one drives the front two motors the other drives the rear motors. (2x Sauer Sundstrand M46 pumps, unknown eaton drives w/ Auburn planetarys)
@bptryp require doubtful but more power is more badass and if your dropping this much cash on something like this it would be almost retarded not to spend the extra couple thousand for a v8 sometimes 10 horepower is the difference between making it over or not
Are those hydraulic wheel cylinders? I thought they only made those for agriculture equipment. Must have plenty of torque but can you bet more power (rpm) to the ground? I though about the ideal once too as a way to avoid the problems with drive shaft angles but abandoned it because i figured the conversion from mechanical work to hydraulic pressure, then back to mechanical would be too inefficient (energy loss heating fluid) and hydraulics are heavy. Your machine looks good tho.
shoudlve climbed it in reverse. all the weights in the rear

i would never use propane on such vehicle!
What if it roll over and one of these rocks will hit the gaz containment?

What the hell is it with people and lambos? You're obviously watching the wrong videos if you truly think a lambo is the coolest vehicle on earth...

wasn't this originally powered by a Nissan inline-6? Doesn't it really require that much power to turn a pump that you would need a V8?

@bptryp
Simply put, No, it doesn't need a V8.
