It's hard to control when it starts bouncing around on the pavement. There's only one caster on the front and it fell off after a while. Acceleration is pretty good in first gear, but when I put it into second it takes a while to get the rpm's up.
We like to use that big pneumatics tank on prototypes because it lasts so long. It was just sitting around in the shop, so I wouldn't be suprised if it was from 2000.
