APU (auxiliary power unit) turboshaft engine a highly modified golf cart through a hydrostatic transmission. Aprox 50 hp through the transmission to the wheels. 5 hp engine is used to start instead of 2 large truck batteries. The hydrostatic transmission allows instant changes back and forth without any movement and nearly unlimited torque. Top speed is limited to the guidance of about 35 mph on the golf course because the land is so rough. This was a test run and will be followed shortly by some high-speed runs on flat pavement. Turbine engine was bought off Ebay for $ 500 and cart chassis used was $ 100.
