Chief designer and fabricator: John Reynolds
Original owner and builder: Jeff Russell
Designer in Solidworks: Dan Barcroft
Thanks to Will Gentile for the video clips.
Thanks to my wife, Krys, for help pronouncing words correctly.

Jeff gave me a ride in this car. He took me up Spooners and outer limits at race pace and we hit 98 in the lakebed. Changed my life. I also help him tear out the transfer case in his shop. This car is amazing.

@BunkerBlog 2 жыл бұрын

My guess its because they need to keep them light. Plus they are much lower speed than an ultra 4 car since they need to be controlled from millions of miles away.

Engine and motor are by definition interchangeable. Engine started out as a slang word the had the feel of too complicated to work. That being said, I use motor for electric and engine for internal combustion thingies.

@JohnReynolds661 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, the video actually took quite awhile to put together gathering all of the media. I really didn't want to do another project like that because it's so time consuming, but it was fun to do one. The timing was such that I had a friend who was interested in the project and could bank roll it. But I've turned my attention to other types of builds as you can see on my channel.
