Met a guy a couple of times at Corps reunions who lost both legs whilst on tour in Afghan. He was confined to an electric wheelchair and stayed in the corps but on admin duties. The maintenance guys got hold of it and carried out a couple of small upgrades. The motor changed from 1.5hp to 10hp. Battery was removed and 4 larger ones installed along with bigger wheels and chunky off road tyres. Thing was clocked at 38mph.... across the camp site. He was able to lift the front wheels and flip it right over, wheel spin in the dirt, power slide the rear end and this was before he had a beer or two. @sonny - there is always room for improvement my friend!! :whitstling::whitstling:
