My guess would be somehow taking power from one of the treads while giving the throttle amount to the other. Take power from right, turn right. That or increase the speed of one tread to turn.

Now everybody can participate and invasion forces, stoke! Ultimate backcountry machine though.

I read something about this and you have to hook some steering component to those two hydraulic cylinders shown in the one shot. that controls the braking of each tread.

I think it taps into the power steering pump and then each track is hydrostaticly controlled. Just a guess

LOL no dumbass...you think any power steering pump in the world could push those beastly tracks?? Most stock steering pumps can barely push 33" tires...its called skid steering - same way any tank or bobcat or piston bully turns..they use a cluth-brake steering system where both tracks are connected to each other and driven by the engine..when you need to turn you disengage one track from the engine with a clutch and it slows down therefore creating a turn

No i have no fucking idea how that shit would work if you can easily bolt the body on and off of the car/remove it at your own free will. I know what a skid steer is I drive them at work in the summer and cats in the winter. If you look at the vid he is steering it with the wheel not each track seperately

Look at rock crawlers with hydro assist/full hyrdo steering, im saying it could multiply the effect or what ever some how.

I dont know shit about what the russians are up to. I have seen their shit and it is crazy as fuck.

I dont reaally even remember what the fuck i am tlaking about now or rememeber that post hahah. I have been on this weird high from my mediciness for a couple of days and in and out of the hospital so bear with me me lol. Im conufsed
