Re: pic: 179 Drivetrain Teaser

As promised, here she is on the move:

179 maiden voyage

She drives like a Cadillac. We also had big John lay down and put it in low gear and pushed him. He's about 280lbs maybe? but I don't know what the coefficient of Johns butt is...

I know the next question is, what are those pipes. I'll give you a hint, no they are not outriggers. And no that's not how they will look, they're just strapped up out of the way. No that's not part of our super secret rapid cap system.

We weighed it to be 90 lbs with almost everything. I think it's going to be 100lbs w/out the battery.

One more thing, I don't know if anyone noticed the perimiter shape (hexagonal). Let's see if anyone can guess it's function. The shape is credited to the very famous Warren Boudreau

Here's a better picture
