That would make sense as the gearbox pumps the silicon oil through the system to drive the mechanism. Fascinating.
The clever thing about this model is that it has a 'CCVT' gear box which allows you to vary the gear ratio, put the car in netral - or even go backwards. Restoringt this to former glory is an ongoing project.
Knob on the top of the transmitter for third channel - used to change gear on the CCVT unit.
CCVT unit reinforced with fibre glass cloth & resin – to prevent silicon oil leakage and prevent control arm snapping off. Not pretty – but effective. The gearbox casing was – in my view – a design fault & too weak for the job. Only sold as a complete unit in the 1990’s & not available anywhere today – I have never seen the gearbox on e-bay for sale & mint (unmade) models seem to fetch up £1000!
Super powerful 1700ma rx battery to power the gearbox servo.
