  • Twin stacks, Of course, in the middle here, you can't see it is a transfer box taken from a lamp over 1.6 transfer box.

  • The idea is because these retires or so massive.

  • If you ran the standard ratios on the three speed auto, we'll be doing about 186 mile an hour top speed.

  • I'm not going anywhere.

  • So it's about shortening.

  • The ratio is getting acceleration.

  • Better getting this thing off the line.

  • I mentioned the wheels.

  • Yeah, they're quite significant.

  • The centrifugal forces, when these things are moving around is absolutely insane.

  • Tires, by the way, super swampers imported from the U.

  • S.

  • You can't buy them in the UK because they use too much oil in their production.

  • Well, at least with that, given the downforce that having weight over the rear axle, this thing was pulling wheelies in a straight line.

  • More gadgets gives most right these two levers over here with blue balls on the top there called the Slew of Right.

  • So we got one for the left were one for the right one at a time.

  • It's effectively like a Hambrecht.

  • You could pull a handbrake turn.

  • Turn the six months spin up those retires and far off down the street.

  • Essential kit in farm work.

  • Few optional extras in the back as well.

  • Couple pairs of Wellies spades.

  • Look, you can even take your other half for a leisurely drive in the countryside.

  • It's a well fought three thing.

  • This that's the main bits.

  • There's only one thing left to do that's too far up.
