When are you guys going to do some "desert running" with those two desert runners you own?

@BaconCruiser 3 жыл бұрын

When are you going to desert run the Raptor and TRX? These companies wanted to build factory prerunner trucks, that’s how they advertise them minus the super small “do not attempt” . Let’s see some Baja style prerunning!

@mikehub6664 3 жыл бұрын

Learned from some friends that prerunning is not as easy as it looks. Like any motorsports it does require skill to get it done and if amateurs drivers were to be filmed doing it down a dirt road would look very underwhelming and slow. Maintaining 60mph in the desert on a loose surface with varying compressions and impacts while having to load and unload front and rear suspension using throttle and brakes to compensate all while timing it. That's a hand full.

@BaconCruiser 3 жыл бұрын

@@mikehub6664 exactly! True prerunners are monsters compared to these trucks. What are these trucks built for?

@mikehub6664 3 жыл бұрын

@@BaconCruiser you can do some in these trucks but it just requires skills that the TFL team is lacking. If TFL got a desert driver to show is capabilities it would be better than them driving it. My friend does dirt bike desert racing and has a raptor. He has a bit more understanding of how to deal with the desert floor. It's unnerving how fast these truck can go in the desert. Way faster and more stable than a stock truck. If you know what your doing you can hit some pretty big stuff in these truck. Woops are scary and washboards, truck wonders more than I'm comfortable with haha.

@@gc2234 yeah but look at in closely too, when you raise it up, the suspension is now quite stiff (as any air suspension works), but that means there is now no articulation, even going down that step it lifted a wheel for a little bit, that means, you are more likely to lift wheels, leading to less grip, but that is typical of any crossover being unibody, independent suspension and on air suspension
