E-mail message From Steve Hoge

Finally we get an interesting bit of content out of this thread: there's gotta bit a way to remove the wheels and add TRACKS to a Syncro! (Derek, are you listening?) Let me just toss out the thought that if you were to lock the steering straight ahead (need that to keep the tracks on, you know) and then apply left/right differential braking somehow, you might be able to steer the thing that way. You'd have a giant VW sno-cat! OK, it's almost Friday, you guys - start brainstorming! -Steve
