G'day prd, nath and Norm
This is one to follow for sure. I love clever custom projects.
I understand the sensitivity and all - I mean Lockheed Martin!

I think ZTR and Greenfield drive belong together, and I don't know why
Theo never went down that garden path.

The first ZTRs were friction drive and date to about 1969.
I have fond memories of the first ZTRs sold here - a USA Dixon, c1980 (I think).

All the best with the ZTR-X1 project.
