My suggestion would be to add larger tires to all 4 corners, then change the rear portal gears on the portals to allow for more torque and to keep similar ratios.
@@MyKonaRCwell no, portals were designed to solve that exact problem. But axles with portals are expensive and if you’re running portals you’re probably doing some serious shit so you’re not gonna want some cheap side by side level shit. Cop some rockwells and hit the rocks!
@@michaelcoulton883i dont know how it is in rest of the world but in slovakia, even an Audi Allroad with airsuspension is not a guilt. In a technical documentation of the car where is VIN, date of manufacture type of the vehicle etc. etc. Is also stated your tire measurements which tire you are allowed to mount on the vehicle. You can rise a ground clearance by 2-3cm which allows you to use larger tire e.g 19 or 20inch 255/35/R20 but in that documentation is only R16 195/65/ R16 or 265/35/R18 for summer usage. And now what... that was only an example, every vehicle has its own documentation with exact tires you are allowed to use, BECAUSE when you compare xxx/ 65 / R16 and xxx / 35 / R18 they have almost the same crossection lenght so the speed of your vehicle on the dashboard matching almost the same. When you equip your car with R20 tires and you use xxx/ 30 / R20 this tire is by few centimeters larger thus, when you have 50kmh on the dashboard in reallity you go 3-5kmh faster and that is against law in slovakia.
В России такие дано делают. Не часто, для соревнований. Так же Есть УАЗ в заводском варианте. Но у них интересный вариант с цепями. Так можно поднимать клиренс очень высоко!)))
If you plan on going crazy with it add tensions to the rear chain setups. Set it up like a timing chain and add cv axles and long chains to the front wheels. The rear axle is driving all 4 wheels
Change the sprockets for more torque/bigger wheels. then box weld the drop brackets and fill halfway with oil so the chains/sprockets hold upp in the long run👌
No offense, but you really should be impressed with their ingenuity and resourcefulness more. From an engineering standpoint, most of what they design would flunk you out of drafting class for the various flaws they don't address. I get it for a quick youtube video, but please don't think of this as "top tier engineering."
Wow fu$kgoogle52… you do realize, that this is a group of young guys in a back alley garage, in Russia no doubt… I admit some of their stuff has been pretty lame as of late… but I’m pretty impressed with this build.
@@shanepowers7566This is my second one as well. My 1st was an '84. This one was my daily driver until the trans died. Trying to save up to have it rebuilt or replaced.
You guys are great, I love how creative you are in the way you test things. I'd really like you guys to revisit the rubber piston rings, possibly daily drive for a week and see how they hold up to thermocycling and prolonged driving conditions. I was impressed with how well they held up in your tests.
You should try one of your homemade successful offroad tire designs. With lift, welded diff and some hard core tires you could test it against some stock 4x4 suv. If it can beet 4x4 with two wheels it's 107%.
I'm surprised he didn't do a burnout. That was such a simple elegant modification though, one of the best I think. Just knew they were going witht he chain drive!
Yall should try putting the wheels from the swimming lada on this. The cabin is not gona get soaked this time and there will be no water splashing in the intake and other stuff.
hah! this is awesome! you should try to put larger gears on the rear axle to raise the top speed🤪 or vise versa and make a unstoppable crawler, could test by trying to push a load before and after?🤔
Put some 24V 4kW starter motors on top of the front pillars with the solenoid engagment driving chains to the front wheels. Then you can have off road front wheel drive hybrid capability. Probably best geared for say 10-15kmph top speed, they will supply all the torque you could ask for in off road situations where you need the 4wd. Our series one land-rover would start in low range first or second gear no problems from standstill on a steep hill. It was a 1600cc about weight as your lada. You might not even need 24V 4kW motors, 12V 1.5 to 2kW might be perfectly adequate.
Weld the two halves of the front ends of two ladas together (back to back) and run both engines and transmissions to make a 4 wheel steer and 4 wheel drive raised car.diffs with welded CV joints for the steering
Well they already spin 360°. You mean 'turn' 360°. Seriously, that'd be interesting to see the guys figure that one out and the result would be unique. Now I've got omni-directional drive stuck in my head.
Some manufacturers have done AWS, but in most cases the rear wheel barely moves. 360° would probably be a mit overkill, but it's likely possible on a budget with basic hardware, anything past 70-80° is beyond what modified suspension that still retains suspension stuff can do. And finding a diner car with independent rear suspension, because you can't really have a driven live axle turn, and that can easily be ripped down and everything modified would be Next to impossible. As for 360°, turning, you might be able to do it on non driven wheels, but even then it would be extremely difficult.
