Pure piston power demonstration. This vehicle uses 2 X56 piston engines, the same ones used on the Challenger V supersonic piston aircraft. It's been geared down for a lower RPM, but it has a lot of power. I had to cowl in the crankshafts because of heavy vibrations caused by the unstable powerplants. Throttle above 30% is highly discouraged!!
NOTE: I got the wheels from Wakescar, go check him out too.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Throttle up to about 25%
When you're at 15-20 mph, slide VTOL up to raise the wheels on the weight in the back, this will make the weights scrape along the ground which will make it alot harder to move.

@Visify The gears was a main problem.
What I will do is this:
REBUILD the entire drive train. I am working on it.
Hey, @Visify. It is a TRACTOR! :D
I am probably going to get it a body at some point
YOu wanna lower the RPM of the engines, lower the piston speed........
That way, you can never go anywhere near the redline if you really want to...
Ah yeah, that's the problem!@Visify
@Potkuri You got your physics on high?
Maybe it's just me but it was hardly moving at all. The gears kept skipping the big teeth and both rods were spinning in the same direction.
