Title: Schwimwagen
Post by: Beetleboi -Greg- on October 04, 2008, 01:02:35 AM
Anybody have any idea of how the 4x4 on a Schwimwagen works? I read that it only works on 1st gear and reverse, I'm trying to figure out how the front wheels were given power.   Yes I know I spend to much time on the internet but i could be doing much worse things.  !5!

Ok I can hear that Blue Meanie Mind at work now.. See that we knew that thing ontop of that turtle was a Snorkle / perascope. Your going to attenpt to ad a propeller to that thing aren't you so that you can navigate the swaps of Jersey. You sly Meanie you.  :icon_thumleft:

Now we understand the true meaning of "Blue Meanie" Blue as in sea, and Meanie as in SUB-a-MaReanie"  s#r

Cool thanks =-) I was thinking there was a 2nd motor up front to drive the front wheels or some how it was chain driven.
