Mad spacers for extreme negative camber on a Lada 

suggestion use steering wheels as tire and tire as steering wheel

I think it has so much traction because it almost pushes off like an ice skater or when skiing. It finds the edge. Nice job garage 54. Merry Christmas

I know a lot of this is "for fun". But screwing around like this is how advancements in both understanding how tech works as well as advancements in tech itself. Keep screwing around guys. This channel is great!

I have a, real, newfound respect for Ladas!!! You guys beat the snot out of those poor little cars....and they just keep bouncing back for *more* !!!!

New " Camber" drive, brought to you by Garage 54. Brilliant guys.

Neighbors are like "what this time?"

My wife makes these using gutters and kerbs as a forming tool.

Having a non-locked diff actually worked well here - I assume because it allows the tires to synch when driving on hard ground and allows them to go ham on softer ground.

Who here wants to see a lada with skis in the front and tracks in the rear like a snowmobile

I saw a meme with those spacers, and thought, OMG! That would look hilarious seeing a car trying to drive with those!! Here we are, Garage 54 did it! I'm in awe that the car actually moved without any hesitation. LOL. These guys are great.

You guys made figure dancing wheels! 🤣 I was waiting for them to snap while Vlad was driving! Pretty amazing what a beating they can take. Thanks BMI Russian for translating as usual!

Still more practical than than the extreme camber cars slammed like squashed bugs hahaha.

imagine them pulling to sema with this slammed lada from Siberia

if you could engineer them to retract to normal position for highway, and then extend and go on the angle for the snow. That would be something.

When the tires try to get perpendicular to the direction of travel it reminds me of how you propel yourself on hockey skates.

Make a Lada that drives in a vertical position so the front-end is pointed straight up.

When you have a bad day, that "hey there ,fellas" makes it all better

"What can I say - I get stucked, I got out." As always hilarious

Garage 54 Is Absolutely Legendary! 🤶🏽 🎅🏼🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🏻 🚗💨

It's hilarious how legit that is for snow driving lol Try it in mud when the season is right ✌🏻🤘🏻

You should try the first set to see if they get better traction with a smoother ride.

Great experiment. My favorite is still 'lead poured tyres' though! :D

I cant stop watchhing this channel, they do all the crazy things people dream of or think of, awesome content guys 👍

pretty amazing how well they dig an eat right thru the snow, they seem to have good push on ice to thats wild lol

Very interesting. I suspect that the lateral imbalance in the tyre is causing snow that usually builds up in the tyre grooves to be shrug off and spun out of the tyre somewhat laterally. I wonder if this would work in a real off-road vehicle. I'd be interested to see it perform off-road in a 4x4 with snow tyres and then with these spacers installed.

You guys are so great. I laugh every time you try things.

I love these guys. It takes some serious skills to do the crazy stuff they do !!!

Awesome episode today . Love it 😍 crazy idea for snow fun driving

Best Holidays Wishes to the Garage 54 staff, from Montreal Canada.

The Mechanic-Skills from your Team is awesome ! Here in Germany you‘ll never find a Mechanic with Skills . Except a Russian and Thats True- :)

On the rear you need a Ford Sierra diff which has driveshafts and UJ's, it would allow you to angle the hub itself to give you that camber whilst still able to deliver power. The front is more difficult and you would need to fabricate some arms to allow the hub to be heeled over at an angle, maybe chop end of strut and make some right angles to pull the hub down from the top and you will have your magic wheels :D

How about a low budget, high performance, garage 54 version of the Lada group B rally car? Love your content, cheers from US.

Merry Merry Christmas Team Garage 54. Have A Happy Happy New Year

Hi Garage 54, MadMark from Australia here, just wanted to say that I really enjoy all of your Videos, and I just wanted to know if you have ever thought of turning a Lada into a boat without wheels, just the body, motor and gearbox, I'd like to see that. Merry Christmas guys.

My weekend is complete with a G54 video

Now combine these with the spring axles.

i pray to mighty god so this guy will never run outa of ideas !!!!!

i love the "jackass" mood of this channel. I wish I lived nearby I'd work there.

I love this channel straight up

Make it ( electronically ) adjustable, add it to an offroad verhicle, and you are the king of the mudmasters, forever. This is some serious tech offroad car makers should be looking in to !

с Рождеством - Merry Christmas to Garage 54! Fred

Looks like from the movie Cars when they run away from waking up tractors.

Hello from Ohio, USA! Love the stuff you do!

You guys are hilarious... I got side cramps from laughing so hard

Awesome video !!

USA: "it's too dangerous to drive on negative camber, nah I will not drive this car" Russia: "it's dangerous to drive on negative camber ,ok let's try it"

С Рождеством Христовым Владом

The reason for the traction is due to the total area of contact. This thing has the contact area of 3 tires. Granted it isn't at once but it's still there. So if it slips at one point when the tire rotates it contacts a different spot. It is a cool idea 👍. I wouldn't recommend you get it above 25 MPH or it could shake the car apart.

Negative camber to negative toe to positive camber to positive toe with one rotation this is going to be fun

I have a feeling the better traction is coming from the now larger foot print of the wheels, along with the dramatic weight shift on the wheel

Happy Holidays for the whole team to 🎅

The people around Garage 54 dont seem too surprised anymore when they see a project car driving by. :-)

These spacers on a 4x4 would be interesting 😁

As proud as Vlad is of Lada's, you'd think that he'd have one or two real nice ones, and one or two fully pimped-out ones as examples, these guys fully restoring a Lada or two would make for some great content, and it would be a nice change for Garage54, if they are even still around that is.

Lol the looks on the faces as he drives past them is priceless hehe 😁 Have to do a burn out on those wheels see how the tread wears

Merry Christmas to the team :)

IM DEAD LOL, this is much better than what I expected

Never been this early in the comment section here. Always good videos and ideas, as always. Thank you for making these.

I have camber plates on my car and it sure did make highway and corner handling a lot better

Garage 54 is simple. They see a meme product, they test the meme product.

Hey! You guys should see if you can make an engine run with vacuum-opening intake valves! They would have no cam actuating them, just weak springs holding them up, so when the cylinder generated vacuum for intake, it could pull the valve open to let air in, and then once it started trying to compress it, it would push the valve back closed!

I knew the wheels would wobble.. It has a very different effect than having an angled hub rotating perfectly round.

You guys are great

at least 107% success! very impressive . (You REALLY need to make more of those, and market them in your store.)

I believe your supposed to mount those behind your bearing and the entire bearing assembly with the rotor all sit tilted.

Seasons greetings to you and your families 🇳🇿🏞️🌄🕊️☕🍻🥃🎸

I think because the contact patch is constantly moving it doesn't get stuck on slippery spots. Normal wheels contact patch doesn't move if the car doesn't.

2 sets of 4 holes drilled at the proper angle and the ones on the wheel mounting side ( Hub bolts ) recessed so that the rim doesn't touch them... Bolt the spacers to the hub using the set of holes and the wheels to the spacer using the other set of holes , all holes drilld at proper angles To their mounting surfaces. Clarences could be obtained by number one not having quite such a radical angle and number 2 the thickness of the spacer.

Mechanic: So what will it be? I want the camber like in the movies Mechanic: Say no more.

I love how many people are always around when he takes the scary inventions for a rest ride

Finaly someone did it

This was amazing! I couldn't stop laughing.

Lol I first saw the thumbnail and thought, you can’t be serious right? It’s just gonna wobble the wheel lol.

i would like to see what they would do in the mud and sand with different types of tires

Zero stuck zero worries the duck was awesome 😊

Cant believe how well it worked

Car is dancing with those spacers

Man deserves 10 mil subs

Love u gave it nice studded tires just to camber it out

Hell ya!

Pretty sure if you do that to the front wheels , you'll be in for a HUGE surprise ... You better eat your wheaties . LOL Anyway , I laughed my ASS off .

That's peak racing performance

I think having your car looking like Godzilla stepped on it is really cool.

Bro you the man

lol, you could take the front axle of a Landrover Defender with these "closed ball joints" and rotate it by 90º and put it on the back of a Lada, add some hydraulic rams and play with the caster / camber while driving.

Success, better traction 👌

Suggestion: make a electric-Lada using only startermotors attached to the gearbox! Lots of startermotors! TESLADA

Damn fricking sick

Just yesterday, I saw a riced out Lexus cambered to the max. Looked ridiculous and was laughable at best.

If it's only for show I'd combine them with the unbalanceable gear wheels

Yes sir!

OK another idea. Get a hatchback with a very sloped front window and make it drive like the slave1 starship in starwars. The chairs are turned around so that the headrest is where your legs would have been, the car stands up on its back hatch, the dashboard is removed so that you can see where you are going through the front window , the engine is repositioned and wheels repositioned in a way that is stable. maybe some flower pot rocket engines for display.

I thought of this kind of spacer some years ago, but in my mind they were used at car events while the car was parked

now you need to make the tyres completely 90degrees to the axle! they would act like giant paddle tyres through the snow, if it could get going!

I’m 2 minutes in and see a few problems 🤣 this is gonna be good!

This is beyond interesting.

It reminds me of those home-made all-terrain tires you made.

Use the wheels lugs to bold down the space with luge drill from the spacer @ the angle you need them for flat mount of the wheel to spacer.

They are camber plates they're made to be bolted on the backside of the wheel bearing hub assembly.

Might be fun for you to weld onto those steel tires you made some serious snow digging cleats and see just how well you can get around in snow and ice
