what the hell is Amazon selling?

1100.00 pounds, thats pretty light for an armored vehicle..

It says the rubber skirt hides the wheels. I want to know how it hits 40mph with 6hp, a 10spd tranny?

Ah, ok, i didn't read the page, I just looked at that pick. Having driven and help bult hover crafts, I could see how it could gain that speed. But with wheels, I dunno.

"Another plus is the fact that Wookies cannot fit through the tiny hatch and take over the land cruiser. I had an aftermarket anti-theft system installed, due to problems with Ewoks and Jawas running off with it"

I'll let you in on a secret, it's not really armord, a crossbow could take that out. I like crossbows they're nasty

if it was a hovercraft like before mentioned it would be uber-cool, thats just semi-cool

I've so got to get me one of those.

The thing I don't get is, how is an 1100 pound "vehicle" gonna do 40mph with a 6hp motor?!

a really low gear ratio.

1:1?

1-1? That motor would never in a million years push that without a tranny. Even then it would have to be on a long smooth track.

this is pretty neat but why would amazon be selling it? weird stuff. I think what was being refered to was that Luke is shot in the hand trying to deflect a blaster bolt with his sabre. I wish i was a jedi going all crazy on some dudes flying sand yacht and hacking people up and raising heck!

actually 40mph wouldn't be too hard for that motor to push, the pictures make the vehicle look alot bigger than it actually is, its actually about the size of a go-cart. look at the cockpit pics once.

At an SAE student competition, one team reached over 55mph in their off-road vehicle.

It was comletely built by the university team and was powered by a Briggs engine (5-8hp).

So, 40mph can be done.

yeah my school is involved in supermileage competitions and they got theit car up to 65 at about 3/4ths throttle on a 2 hp engine, so that thing could definitly do 40
