Willys Jeep |
||||
Using a true 4 Wheel drive
mechanical system, to actually drive all 4 wheels together, so no independent
wheel slippage with front and rear fully floating Axles. I am confident we have
created the most capable 1/6th Off road radio controlled 4 wheeled Willys
Jeep anywhere in the world. With up to 2” [5cms] of one wheel clearance
before another becomes airborne it’s off road abilities are amazing,
more so when fitted with the optional softer and wider “traction”
wheels and tyres. The standard Jeep will come with fairly hard compound
authentic looking Jeep wheels and tyres. Note, using these whilst looking
correct, does limit off road capability slightly, more fun though! Having all
4 wheels locked you would think that the Jeep would not steer very well, this
is not the case, the Willy’s follows its nose Very well, although like
most capable 4WD off road vehicles the turning circle is around 150cms.
Handily, engaging reverse is a very easy and a smooth operation. Being low
geared, the Jeep is able to be driven at barely moving speed whilst still
having plenty of power to climb up steep slopes and cover large obstacles
easily. It is very smooth at these low speeds making it very realistic.
However, the Jeep can still move along at 6mph if required and on rough
ground without taking off! Using a standard 3800 milliamp 7.2v NiCad battery
pack, the Jeep will run for over an hour, depending on conditions, speed etc.
Note: due to the design of the transmission and motor mounting some interior
space is compromised. There is an altered interior cover with the Kit
available, or you can supply your own. This has been done to allow optimal
performance over interior accuracy. As with all Mark-1-Tank products
performance is king.
