Re: New Ford GPA from Torro
It will definitely join my lend-lease collection (the Soviets got 3500 of them)

Re: New Ford GPA from Torro
It was first announced in February this year but I have not seen any on sale at the usual outlets.
I think I am about to upset someone

Well I'm sure if it has the same electronics as the others from Torro, I'm sure it will break in 2 minutes.

I have never had a problem with my schwimmwagen, except a broken drive shaft, because hard offroad.
And god know how many times me or my sons drove with it!!!

Re: New Ford GPA from Torro
My Torro M16 half-track ran about 5 minutes before the battery box stopped working. I thought the electronics had died, but some time with my multi-meter found the issue where the board wasn't getting any power from the battery box. I tried to resolder the connections on the battery box to no avail. It forced me to buy a Torro NI-CD battery pack for $20 to get it running again since I couldn't find a battery that would fit. My Torro Maxxpro literally died after 2 min of running on a hardwood floor. Nothing I have done will get it to work again. Then they wired the battery pack in the Maxxpro backwards from every battery pack I own. It's even wired backwards from the Torro M-ATV. Just not impressed so I won't be an early adopter of this one.
