the Mega monster jeep with 8 huge v-treads takes a shot at the bounty hole...Does he make it? Videoing some of the Baddest to the Bone Mud & Mega Truck Slinging Swamp Mud and Mega Truck Racing.
It might've had a better chance if: -The tires were mounted so the V-blocks faced the other way -The tread-blocks were shaped into a paddle, as is done with this design of tire in Monster-Truck competition -There was enough power available [with the correct gearing] to get the wheel-speed to a level that would make the above useful/effective in "paddling" through that soup!
For those that say his tires are on backwards well...I don't think you see what he is attempting. By having more surface area of tire he is more bouyant...he stays on top...and if that was his idea...then mounting the tires backwards is exactly what he should do...that way instead of channeling the mud and water away and digging deeper he channels it inward and stays on top...and being they sell offrad equipment that you can put on tires to extend your surface area and footprint...kinda what max tracks do...then he did it following the logic of how those tires are supposed to function....
Intentionally, crawlers/mudders RC or 1:1 can reverse rotation with most tires directional tires be it chevrons ike these or others. It's known in the incrowd so...
It's a Jeep so I'm sure it still have stock axles - you know... because all Jeep owners put big tires on their Jeeps without ever upgrading their axles or lowering their ratio.
That is how crawlers use chevron's. They get more traction with them using them backwards going so slow, I do the same on my RC trail trucks/crawlers Dude!
I have seen monster trucks do the same thing back in the 90's anyways i havent watched monster trucks for awhile but they used to have the front set backwards and the back set normal for grip/speed.
.....When you run them backwards they do clog with mud... but, you will almost never get stuck to the point you can't back out. Another effective way is to only mount the front backwards and the rear correctly.
I don't knock others choice in vehicles and wouldn't knock yours whatever it is well mabee if it's a miata but to each there own and mabee should learn more about a man's truck before knocking it.Its not my choice vehicle I'm in the woods too much and that sure won't fit but sure he does better in other areas.Dont hate or let others hate your choice in vehicle it's what's makes us individuals or we would all drive samethings and dress the same and look like some corporation employee.
I live in both TN and fl and it's way different like two different countries.But moving to tenn prop permanently within a year or less.Time to get out of fl.
First off: Resistance in the mud due to those double tires is tremendous. Second: These tires are put on backwards. Tractor tires have only 20% traction backwards compared to 100% forward traction due to the mud evacuating properties of a tractor tire. This rig is just plain dumb. Its just eyecandy.
I don't know about that - it had enough to snap one of those gigantic axles! Frankly, would've fared significantly better if the outside tires weren't worn down to almost slicks
Fawwk this guy decides reverse grip tyre setup is better than every other TRACTOR company in the world has just because it has a bunch of wheels and tyres. Very disappointing and poor performance outcome for such a huge outlay in $$$
Why are the tire backwards? Oh yeah, the millions of dollars and engineers that developed that tire have no idea what there doing , they must grab better backwards, hahahahha
