Mitsubishi has entered this in the LA Show Design Challenge. It’s called an MMR 25. It’s sporting a 8x4 wheel-drive system. each “wheel” rotates and has smaller individual “wheels” that rotate ovia electric motors on the “wheel”.
thats nutty. I would love to see some actual video footage of it tearing up some trails and not this CGI garbage
i dont think they will produce that thing. although it will probably be fun as hell to ride thru some snow/dirt/sand in that
wow that’s pretty cool
:wtf
I think if they pitched that design to Tyco RC, they have their cars out there running about
you said it yourself…“LA Show Design Challenge”… I imagine it’s pretty rare for anything practical to come out of any design challenge
id love to have that as a toy though. like a foot or two long or so. it’d so fun to race that around
That thing looks pretty scary.
:umm… not what i was expecting… thats neat tho
and also WTF is with them trying to make the new eclipses look like the lancers…
Looks scary
fuck Mitsubishi
Aww, Dave. :sad
i want one
pffffff i use to do that with my go-cart.
Not exactly “tearing up some trails”, the car uses the same Omni-Directional wheel design seen in this video.
