Sounds interesting, but I have some questions:

How and where did you get your drive chain and gears from? Are you just running a chain of batteries for 110vdc to power the drill motors? It looks like you've got "tank" drive (each rear tire driven independently) to have steering. How well does that work for you here?

sorry its a crappy instructible because i made it after i finshed the project but look up 35 roller chain  thats what i used you can get it from TSC but i got it off line becuse i got sprocuts to wich you cant get at tracter supply and yess to all the other questions but i do have a problem with the fact that it 120v dc not ac and its really hard to find swiches for that exspachially a vairable controller but other than that its fun and gose about 8mph with a lot of thork
