Brian is right, without a fly wheel a single ossy wont do a full roatation unless its going light speed especially with gearing holding it back. Also your meths tank will need to sit between the frames. If the burner pot tops are lower than the top of the tank your meths will all leak out. 4 wheel drive is also a good thing to think about

I agree. Worm drive is not good.Sir Clothem Cap:44836 wrote:I'm a bit worried by the worm drive, you will get lots of power but not much speed. The more mechanical bits before the wheels get the power the more the loss is.
