Go fast ferret!!!! Toyo tyres on a ferret with a few extras me thinks.

[Rubberduck]

Not my cup of tea but by eck it's mental. Didn't know they could fly.

 

 

[Tamber]

A few extras, yeah. :wow: Interesting work on the shock mounts; certainly looks like it'd be a bit of a rough ride even with those monster things on... he's not hanging about, is he?

[ploughman]

Could it be that it might not be a genuine Ferret?

Its a wolf in ferret's clothing, got a V8 in the back and more mods;

It would be great if they would show more details. Would love to know how they did the gearbox to engine. Driven center wheel!?!? Etc etc

[Starfire]

Apparently the centre wheels are hydraulically driven (you can see the hydraulic lines coming down from the top of the fake turret) and there is a 500hp LS V8 in it.

 

Toyo has said that a behind the scenes vid will be out soon.

 

I've been wondering what to do with my spare Ferret, too...

 

Cheers,

Terry

fascinating to see the champion off road driver with his thumbs inside the steering wheel

I suspect there's not a lot of actual Ferret in that vehicle at all ...

And then there is this.

 

 

Might not be suitable for a coat of IRR paint.

I love the way the 2 guys are holding onto the Christmas tree to make sure it didn't get blown away

There is another thread on this topic:

It has the link to the original Ferret video and background build.

Impressive, but to be honest, I would be more impressed if Toyo tyres made a bartrack tyre to fit an actual Ferret.
