Hmmm, 14 mph tops is a bit slow for me. 25 would be more livable, yet still slow. Needs to all a "hwy gear" like the new skiders have.

Dan with the power the trucks put down and the rpm's they turn, along with the size of the tires, the gearing works out for them...

There's some videos of it running around somewhere. I've been following that since the original thread, I think it's a very cool rig.
