I need to know about SW1's, first of all, are they 2 wheel drive?? If you hold the back end, will it spin the wheels? How fast does it go?Do they get good traction? Can the box hold much??? I can't wait the next 18 hours!!! I'm all wohhh!

Hope you get it too! The backs are quite big and can hold quite a lot! The band transfers to the back wheels with a really long band

| The SW1 has a double reduced drive ie two flywheels. Only one wheel is powered, they will carry a load due to the help of the reduction gear. You wont get any wheels spins or tyre smoking performance though! |

Lovely pic Mike.
I'm used to cotton wool used in such pics for smoke/steam effect.
That is just great

Hey Logan, I got a SW1 about three or four months ago, and it is the best.
