Fabricating a hydraulic brake steering assembly out of two LADA hydraulic clutch master cylinders and brake fluid reservoirs, while using some steel, a welder and angle grinders. This handmade assembly in conjunction with the differential in the rear axle and separately routed brake calipers will provide the steering for this tracked amphibious vehicle when pulling levers separately: left lever for the left caliper and vice versa. When pulling both levers the vehicle will stop. The throttle will be operated via old snowmobile thumb throttle on the right lever which will regulate engine RPM and the engagement of the CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission, that is currently installed on the engine. This gives me clutch. Since the machine is geared down via CVT, the differential in the gearbox and the differential in the rear axle there will be no gear changing whilst driving. Max speed will be around 35 km/h and most probably it'll take off from stand still in fifth gear without any problems. Thanks for watching! More videos will come. Subscribe for more!
