The fact your run weld beads on that rotary and they come out like that. I mean I just paused it staring at that weld like “bro, are you serious??????”

      A lot more to go wrong with dual motors PLUS you may have issues you didn't think of.
      For example, if both wheels are in equal contact with the ground, the fluid will apply equal torque to both motors, but if one wheel lifts off the ground, all the torque gets sent to the other motor.
      Maybe do a small scale test of it first before committing.

    • @stevenbeach748
      @stevenbeach748 Před rokem

      @@35manning I don't know. I think there's alot less to go wrong duel hydraulic motors. Hydraulic motors need almost no maintenance or adjustment ever. They're very heavy duty and can handle it. Chains are the exact opposite. I will admit that if something goes wrong, the hydros are more expensive to fix.
      As far as the torque thing goes, the motors are in series, meaning the fluid can't flow freely so if one of the tires is off the ground, it doesn't matter. This isn't a differential.

    Wow, I am so happy I got this video suggested to my feed. Lucia you are all of the positive things people have been saying about you! Your grandfather must be so proud of you! You are humbly blessed! Mahalo for doing what you do and providing the opportunity to everyone out there. If someone said you are an angel sent from god, I would believe it completely.
