Just about anyone with access to a moderate high school shop can build it. In that respect, it is a truly elegant design.

Does anyone have that design on 217 I would much appreciate to take a look at it.Considering you guys really keep the drive train under wraps. I would also like to know the extent of the manufacturing needed for a cvt design. This is because i am not familiar with the system. Thank you and Dave you are so right 33 does have the slickest drive transmission yet.
