Fly...Some people want everything...
For batteries it uses two 12v deep cycle batteries. The batteries make up half the weight.

First tests of towing capability. With little or no weight in the wagon driving was easy, but with the wagon heavily loaded driving a straight line was difficult due to the pendulum effect on the differential drive setup I guess. Need to hold on tight for this ride...

Rock Crawl, Hummm....I think the kids would like that but the wagon will need seat belts.

Actually, the wagon didn't survive the ride...On another run that day when turning around I cut it to sharp and the swivel wheel on the wagon bent and broke the frame. The motors are pretty strong, we need a better wagon!
