Doc

Four hub motors - any one can run the vehicle at 45mph. It will handle 3' of water - motors and battery pack submerged - and keep going. Totally silent 'stealth mode'. Then there's the part about being dropped from a V22 Osprey... :wink:

Part one gives an overview of the vehicle, part two focuses on the battery pack. Part two automatically rolls when part one completes.

sweet jeebus. that's awesome. it saddens me that we can't see such tech on the road.

US taxpayers fund it yet we're not seeing any of the fruits of our contribution—i would say the net benefit to US society of commandos killing yet another "brown person" is negative at this point.

Wow

That is impressive. I want one.
