I just looked it up! It apparently only ever really worked when they drove it in reverse, and it was considered such a failure that it was abandoned in Antarctica and got buried under the ice until some people dug it up in the 50s and then lost it again, and it’s current whereabouts are unknown!
There’s a pretty good video on YouTube that details it’s failure. The Russians also had something similar and I think they where more successful at it. https://youtu.be/pW0eZRoQ86g?si=4JCqtCmS1mMLDOve

To be fair, if I’m a failed prototype scientific machine, ‘Buried under the shifting Antarctic ice and lost forever’ is a helluva grave.
