Maybe I could purchase 2 of his systems and make my Megabusa 4wd. Hmm...

I'd have to see it beat a normal R1 in anything other than snow to be convinced that the extra weight, and loss of power in the hydraulic drive is worth it.
Cool project though.
Someone sent me an article with more information.

thanks for the info... only 2.5 hp loss. I want one for frankn7 now :). Even if I could get just 50 hp to the front wheels without transfer case, driveshaft, diff, etc... that'd be huge.
