I Agree. This thing is some serious ownage. Perfect representation of a Hummer H1. But there are also many good Hummer H2 models out there. (Including mine :) ) I will be posting it sometime soon...

(...) Well sort of. The application of torque is reversed - when steering a "1 motor per track" model, you only get 1 motor driving, when going straight you get 2. This is simply reversed in the adder/subtractor system. It's a small price to pay for (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) That does sound like an advantage. However if I'm not mistaken, it also means less torque because technically only one motor is driving the wheels. The other one is just for steering. ?? Nathan (19 years ago, 14-Apr-05, to lugnet.technic)
