This vehicle is fully mechanical. It is driven by pistons in the fashion of a steam train. The wheels, though unusual, work surprisingly well and have very good traction. Use the throttle to get the pistons going. The steering system is mechanical as well. I copied the steering system from a go kart. It also works surprisingly well. Use A & D to turn. There is no engine or fuel in this vehicle. Being a skeleton, there are no hidden parts. What you see is what you get. Enjoy!
p.s. It's possible to drive in reverse, but tricky to do. And tricky to get moving forward again... as an added bonus, you can drive underwater.

Awesome!
This is cool
@Kerbango Thanks, me too!
@JoshuaW The difference between his and mine (I've downloaded his, it's incredible) is that mine uses 1 rotator for steering only. And mine has no engines of any sort. Mine is a minimalist approach and is driven by mechanical forces only. Mine is akin to a steam train and an old world mindset. My steering system is also very mechanical, and uses real world mechanics to turn the wheels. I couldn't figure out how to do piston activated steering, so I was forced to use the rotator. Besides, I posted mine before he posted his. lol... plus a true fully mechanical car can drive underwater. lol (But seriously, his is amazing!)
Great!

Sweet beans
Love piston power.
