Show me the video indicating speed measured by GPS device
Sherman at over 40 miles per hour? I know Rebel is fast, but

Are there any negative consequences driving only with the rearaxel brakes?
Next in line is to get the boogie steering working. Must say everything is very hard to get to when repairing things on the UC.
Really fun driving it.

I don't exactly know how fast it is, but here is the video.

Yes, the fastest Sherman in Europe... show me the GPS speed measuring device. In MPH, not KPH.
It is a-mazing, regardless of top speed. Roy did an excellent job. To say nothing of the new tracks. Was that from J. Staman?

Yes the tracks are from Joop Staman and the speed comes from the twin set GM diesel set witch were tuned to a higher output by the father of Roy.

375 hp and 1,000 ft pds torque conjoined twin 6-71's out of the box should do it.
I would like to be able to do that special tuning! IIRC those twins are on YouTube as well.

Now to get that lightened MK-I* Universal Carrier of Cletracker tuned up to match Richie and the speed trials are on.

Wilhelm K can pace them on his motorcycle.

There should not be big problems with getting some more horses out of a carrier.
There are a lot hot rod parts that will do the trick
