Re: Low Speed High Torque Drive?

@artdutra04:

You're 90% right, except its wheels instead of treads. Right now they are attached to a single axle that hits a 5 speed transmission etc. The pulley system is actually how the existing clutch works.

The idea with it being driven by the engine would be to split the output to two transmissions.

@Tom Line:

The engine does a nice job of keeping everything toasty. If I pack the batteries where I plan to (essentially right under the engine) I am sure there will be no temperature problems.

Its an electric start. The onboard battery is a joke though. Its charged off the alternator.

@Squirrel:

Thats the way it is driven now. To turn it you have to lift the front of the ground and just use yourself.
