Ultimate Off Roader

Post by p76rangie »

Those interested in projects might like the attached. Go anywhere at 0 to 80kph in 3.5 secs. The film clip is 7.5mb so only those with broadband should open it. A good clip for 4wd TV

Must be a Queensland thing. Something about the heat, bananas, and cousins.

The tracks appear to be made more for dirt and mud than rocks. But I use to drive a APC with metal tracks and it still went up rocks well, but not the rock crawling stuff that some of you guys do.

It being designed to be autonomous.... No driver......

Read the site. They currently are testing with a 650 hp, supercharged big block to ensure drivetrain reliability. Final engine will be 450 hp, Chev 350.

Read about the race it is designed for. Pretty tough. 175 miles off road in less than 10 hours, completely autonomous, no external input or control, with purposely introduced obstacles that must be avoided.
