Very interesting.

I wonder how they keep from getting bound up? I mean, if the ladder was solidly connected to each tire, then if one tire slips they would bind. Know what I mean?

However, it appears in the video that one tire slips a little, and the system still works.

I remember an episode of JunkYard Wars where one team attempted to build a walking machine something like this, but couldn't keep the wheels turning in unison, so it destroyed itself.

Quite inventive! Strong supports to boot.

Wish they had racing like that here in the States.

Theoretically, assuming they have locked differentials (which I am 100% sure they do), and the drive system between the two axles has zero slip (such as a standard driveshaft configuration). There wouldn't be a way for the two to move independent of eachother, they would essentially stay clocked?

This was posted in another section of the board recently. Yep, very cool!
