Give it the beans, man

The translate guy sounds like he used to work for KGB

It is too bad that there likely won't be any new videos once BMI Russian runs through whatever videos were in the can when Russia was sanctioned for their unnecessary war with Ukraine. As usual, the leaders of a country fucked around and its citizens found out. Vlad (the Garage 54 guy, not the dictator of Russia) won't see this comment as IIRC Russia has cut off internet sites from outside their country but IIRC phones still work so BMI Russian might be able to read some of these off to him over the telephone from whatever country he lives in. I hope the Garage 54 staff and owner are doing as well as can be considering their country was just cut off from the rest of the world. Maybe they can use their experience repairing and modding Ladas to specialize in their repair for paying customers until Vlad Putin is kicked out of office and things return to normal (best case scenario). They even have the CNC machinery to make their own car parts since they won't be able to import any new ones.

If i remember correctly, in Russian he said a family of beavers did that)

A3ATOT - that’s even funnier, cheers for the translation 👍

I had a bunch of rats living inside my Sebring that was parked. They made a nest out of the hood insulation, and ate through a single engine ground cable. We spliced the cable and it fired right up.

@@A3ATOT exactly, it was "beavers" in the original video. But I couldn't bring myself to do such a blunt translation (though I'm not sure "termites" work that well either).

Only in Siberia 🤣

Nothing is dangerous in Siberia.

They should definitely continue whit this project. New rear diff, improve ground clearance, proper snow tires, maybe add weight for better grip..

Think they did a bit. Rear tire gap increased. Front would need different struts or some type of extensions welded in or maybe cobble up some spacers under the strut tower?

All About the Rubber... Basic and Work's

I was honestly surprised that they made it the first time! I know how they feel... I got into a similar situation... The same but uphill... I had to turn the car....

Lifting car body does not give you more clearance. It's the axles that limit the clearance. They definitely need much bigger tires. Also need to change gear ratio in the gearbox: currently they can't start at lower wheel turning speeds because they don't have powerful enough engine for this, so they start at higher speed, causing wheels to slip and losing grip. And yeah, having no smoothing elements on the transmission lines causes giant shock impacts on the transmission elements. No wonder they ended with a broken gearbox. And look at 5:00 - the car goes stuck even when the snow is way below the bumper. I had a similar car (21099), it was the stock 2WD, and it performed MUCH better than this. Just say I would start worrying about being stuck only if the snow level goes near to the bumper's lower point.

dude, we used to do that too! Later, kids at our rival HS used to flip smart cars upside down in our neighborhoods, so we went into their HS parking lot one night and picked up the Honda Civic their auto shop was working on. we got it onto caster wheels and rolled it out almost a mile to block the front entrance of their school... sideways, so they couldn't just tow or push it out. It took 'em almost 5 hours to undo what we did in like 45 min lol! And WAY back in my Moms day, she and her friends put their principals car into their empty school pool! It took a crane to get it out, and Mom got expelled XD

My sister's class did that to one of their professors, only worse... one day he walked to work (lived on campus) looked up and there was his little bitty car.... on the balcony above the entrance.

@@Reziac It's things like this that give me a little hope for humanity back

miss the old days.. nowadays cars are getting soo much heavy

pathmada sthink statue of limitations 🤔

Me tooooo lol

Also that rigid rear axle becomes a snow plow if not combined with bigger tyres or portals. Still on a front engined car, front ground clearance is key to avoid a tendency to wedge the nose against the snow, as well as a skid plate to prevent picking up snow in the engine compartment. The Samara could have shown off on packed snow rather than fresh deep snow.

Put an airbag lifter system in it. As soon as you feel it starting to slip just hit the lift button and bingo, more traction

some bigger/better tires would also do it some good.

I saw that on hoonigan some time ago.

@@thatonedude5237that thing was sick

Mercedes did that with A-class for some strange f1-special. Also Citroen 2CV Sahara was something similar :D

Also Group S SEAT Ibiza.

Tony and Lucky did that with a chev impala 2 LS V-8's 1 in frt 1 in trunk all wheels driven only frt steering

I think not having chains was the main issue... Having semi-loose chains could have improved the situation.

That's absolutely not the reason why it broke. It was just too weak. And the parts were from a different car so the ratio probably weren't right anyway.

The tires were slipping all the time so the different sized wheels wouldnt have made a difference.

@@banaana1234 this, and the grip on the snow is poor. And you see in an another video with the UAZ that the transmission held on even with the wheels spinning in different directions with better grip. Likely would last that all day long when it's of proper build

They're in snow. Same as mud. Won't make a difference. they're not differet enough to have a problem. It broke because it's hacked together

I heard in Tirol, Austria and Swiss they love and keep their Panda 4x4s forever. It's somewhat a legendary car in this area.

lol @ fiat

Okay James May

Weren't these Pandas named something like Sisley 4x4? I remember checking what the guys who take care of cattle in the mountains use, usually It was the most affordable and reliable available.

If you think that Lada's are basically FIAT's anyway, it wouldn't be hard to turn one to the other and I think the little Panda 4x4's are awesome. I seem to remember Yugo were looking to put a 4x4 from a Panda into its 45 or 55 but then democracy happened and Yugo was consigned to the annals of failed communism.

Trogdor Burninator you mean a vodka

They probably don't drink. Haha!

Mercedes-benz W202td depends on which city you will visit

And that's why we all subscribe.

Yes!!

nahh

Это сербы.

Have you seen the dashcam compilations though?

We have this saying in Russia: "The more rad the SUV is - the farther you'll have to go for a tractor."

Haha, that's perfect!!

This is beyond true , on the rare occasion my 2wd f150 gets stuck it takes just a couple min. To get it out, when I get my 4x4 truck stuck it's there until summer,lol that's the red clay of the southeast US for you.

thats why that land rover cruised through the snow with no issues with its smart electronic range selection that can alter it on any wheel

This is probably the russian trolls manipulating the election.

matsv201 lol 😂

@@bakedbeard4203 yea... this is really cool.. this want me to vote for trump 10% more... clear rusian election manipulation

matsv201 lol ok

Or at least those same types of custom wheels they got for the back, as the front was definitely the weak link after that and kept sinking deeper into the snow.

the engine does not have enough punch. the transmission is too long at low revs. the only chance not to kill the motor is to go at nominal rpms with all 4 tires slipping.

@@rarbiart Good point. One idea I had is to get thin wheels with decent tread and raise the suspension so they basically cut their way through the snow instead of trying to go on top of a compressed layer.

@@murmenaattori6 we never learned what the outcome of BeyoundThePress was for the sawblade-wheel car.

@@rarbiart Hehe maybe not THAT thin!

how would you call breaking the transfercase, and getting stuck every 2 minutes, a successful project? ;-)

KentexDamgaard 🤣 Well, the goal of the project was to transform a front wheel drive car into a fulltime awd car. In that they were successful. It was able to drive forward, backwards, left and right, under its own power (except in deep snow; obviously it needs higher ground clearance), with all four wheels turning in sync. Admittedly, grenading the franken-case was a fail, but as long as the project continues to evolve, I wouldn’t consider it a total failure. As for getting stuck every two seconds... chalk that up to Driver Error. Why drive the low little car with skinny tires into deep snow?? 😆

Russians are indestructible

In russia, the metal welds you.

Eye protection is for day after pain there is mo harm atm

Shield is for sun eyes is for weld in Russia

Gotta get that sun tan somehow in russia.
