It's comical the way the front is built. It has a lower and adjustable upper arm, but due to the design the lower pivots in the same plane as the dogbone, and the upper attaches to the lower making a simple swing arm. Just seems like a terrible waste. Funny to watch it bounce tho.
Oh, almost forgot. Ball diff rear....solid front. Early ones had one way bearings but they didn't last so they locked her down lol

2 out of 100 ain't bad! 1:50 might be my ratio too...

End of the video reminded me of the videos you see on TV of the chunky, un coordinated kid tripping over something.

It's been years since I ran mine, even in crippled form. (Damn fragile one-way front hub inserts!) Once the nylon splines of the center gearbox's rear output stripped-out, that shelved it! But don't worry... a museum-level restoration is coming (Have most of the parts now....) when I get a factory body shell & reprinted decals.

Apparently YouTube links aren’t working and photosuckit screwed us royally but I did re add a couple links to the first post showing it running in the snow and then on ice the next day.
Mine lacks the one way bearings, it has the late style front spool and solid drive washers.
