I just built a small 4-wheel drive vehicle. It weighs a mere 12 ounces and it lifted 14 1/2 ounces. That's 120% of it's own weight. I more than doubled my original lift from my first vehicle I built. So dust off those creations and hook up the juice (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
