actually the zero turning radius is very nice… of course this could be sped up and the shocks could use some work… but all in all… very sweet! I’m sure some movie company will buy it.

Fix it up with some really cool shock absorbers and you could bounce it up and down like it was a ‘67 Chevy! Wheels? We done need no stinking wheels!

I only want one if it shoots webbing. Otherwise, it’s pretty useless.

When it hits 8 miles an hour, it goes back in time to 1979.

I’m wondering how steep a grade can this thing navigate? Those skid pads seem, slick. If I bought it I would upgrade the feet with some hard rubber “shoes”.
