Each wheel is powered an on a swing arm.

Pretty cleaver design.

Obviously,but how? What method is used? U-joints and driveshafts operating 4 ring and pinion gears,or chains and sprockets?

Pretty cleaver design.

LOTS of thought and work went into that one.

- Engine is a fuel injected Ford 5.0 V8 out of a '93 cobra mustang
- C4 transmission out of an early bronco
- 9" w/ 5.38 gears and ARB air locker mounted in the center (below driver)
- Running chain gears on the ends where the swing arms pivot
- Swing arms are hydraulically controlled individually or together, and there is coil spring and shock suspension as well.
- About 7 feet of up OR down motion on each tire
- Large chains running inside the swing arms turn hummer gear reduction (2:1) hubs at each wheel.
- Tires are 39.5"
- The steering is linked through the swing arms as well and the steering box is mounted just in front of the axle below the driver
- Body construction is steel tubing (mostly DOM)
- Total weight is 5900 LB

- Running chain gears on the ends where the swing arms pivot

I'm kinda disappointed to learn this. He took the easy way out. I was hoping to hear about driveshafts and worm gears.

there is coil spring and shock suspension as well.

I knew this already,but I am wondering where the shocks came from. I have never seen or heard of shocks with that much travel. I know you could do it with a air ride suspension,but not shocks.

About 7 feet of up OR down motion on each tire

Which means each shock has at least that much travel. I may have to look at the video again. Shocks that tall can't be hidden.

Large chains running inside the swing arms turn hummer gear reduction (2:1) hubs at each wheel.

What bullBarack. They are sprockets.

Still,even taking the easy way out (from an engineering POV) with chains,a lot of thought went into building that thing.
