These dudes put out some pretty sick stuff, military vehicles and other crazy stuff. I've seen their show on discovery (?) twice now, they're kinda bitches with each other, but....I still want one of their creations!

You turn by changing the speed of the left and right treads.

Its is a custom clutch system they developed to use. They mentioned it briefly in the last episode dealing with the mini-rip. The mini-rip would be fun as hell, but I think I would like some fenders on it...

I found a quick page talking about them a lil bit. I know in a video I saw before the original Ripsaw has a blown 427 making ~650hp. Apparently they used a 6.6 Duramax making ~600hp and 1000lbft on the unmanned MS2(the military one).

I didn't see the handle bar but the Cat that I use to remove snow with has joystick controls. One for movement and the other for controlling the bucket. Pretty sweet! I don't like the two lever and then using foot controls for bucket.
