put an open diff and split the hand brake so you can lock each wheel separately and that thing will actually turn

These prototype Sherps definitely saw some improvements before making it into production. 😆

13:18 That guy on the right almost went for a swim too 😂

“We’ve done everything properly.” LOL 😂

Thank you, Vlad, for once again demonstrating the clear technical superiority and unmatched flexibility of Ladas over all competng vehicles. You have sent a Lada to space (Shorty on the weather balloon), you have proven Lada's seaworthiness, swampworthiness, iceworthiness, snowworthiness and of course its utter superiority on land. When will we see a Lada submarine? Or a Lada torpedo? Or maybe a Lada that swings from trees? How about a dune-buggy Lada? Or a hang-glider Lada? This one might be a bit tricky, but how about a unicycle Lada? Here's one more wonderful idea: How about a Lada Scud Missile? Keep up the excellent work; we love it!

to get it on land you need about an 8:1 rear gear to make up for those tires.

1. Belly pan for engine (just weld the hood to the bottom?) 2. Front wheels don't really steer as they don't turn; shorten those spacers - or weld the suspension higher as it was still bending too much and in the clearance space, add some rudders for steering. 3. Keep having fun like you do!

You need to make a LADA hovercraft! You guys always make me smile with your crazy antics.....😄

God I love this channel so much, You guys do what I thought I wanted to do when I was 10 - 16 years old but never did.

Ifffff you put tires that go beyond the roof of the car you will be able to run into a wall and flip over and drive upside down? Try it

You guys are living legends , I could drink a few beers with you guys anytime 👍👍👍

Awesome. Red Green did this with a Honda.

Awe man, the alignment 😂 let’s drive it in the lake! You guys are awesome 👏😎

That was such an awesome video Team Garage 54. I loved it. I had a huge blast watching it. Thanks sooooo much for sharing this video with us, it was awesome. You folks have an epic day and Happy Summer to you. See you next video. Byes for now.

Rolling’, roll in’, roll in’ on the river. 🎶😆

Welding the differential might have been a mistake... Separate brake controls for left/right drive wheels would let the operator steer by choosing which wheel gets more power. like a tractor

This really needs to happen with a Niva, the 4wd should help a lot.

The load on those wheel bearings is terrifying.

This was awesome! It floated great. What a loyal car.

I think that this set up perfectly fit with the monster lada! The one with the truck engine swaped!

I'm convinced that the Lada is the most toughest, most versatile, and powerful car ever built. You can do anything to it and it'll still run.

I think you need to use a front wheel drive car for ease of steering and some extra flotation under the front of the vehicle.

That Freddy-T-shirt looks really good.

Love that you do all your experiments on ladas. It makes it way more entertaining.

I’d like you to make a car that is capable of driving upside down, which has complications of its own - regarding lubrication but it certainly would be a crazy thing to see… like those RC cars from when I was a kid that would drive upside down

One the greatest channel in KZfaq 👌

I want to work at garage 54 when I grow up. Son, no one should have that much fun.

Before the arm broke, I thought the wheel bearing was separating when it started leaning at a weird angle. The real mvp is those oem wheel wheel bearings. There’s definitely enough pressure to separate a wheel bearing there

20:47 9/10 For the front flip😂

Maybe you guys should make a lada boat, welding the doors, making it buoyant and you could use a propeller on the driveshaft instead of the diff (and make the propeller steer)

YOU could remove the radiator once it's in the water and just allow the water pump to pump straight for the water source as long as it's fresh water.

I think a more appropriate background music for this would would be.. The "Theme From Gilligans Island" 😁

As a child I used to do these to my toy cars 🤣 putting wheels from the bigger to the smaller ones thinking if it was real it would float As it turns out my 11 years old self was right!!! 😁

It's almost as though Ladas were made to tolerate these shenanigans xD

Thanks for sharing 👍😀

So you took my advice again thank you garage 54

That was great 👍 all you needed was a fishing pole and beer 🍻

Love your channel Vlad, the things you do to cars are crazy. BMI Russian has it's hands full, but they do a great job translating. I'm glad that you didn't go too far out into the lake, that suspension was under a lot of stress, I was fearful that another link might go and you would need a rowboat to come get you. Try building yourself a copy of the unstoppable Sherp, those Russian rigs easily go through any of the mud pits that America has offered.

I like where this is going!! 😆

I could tell at 8:30 we were going to have a catastrophic failure

The ending is the best part, he is his own stunt man.

13:18 - lmao @ the dude trippin in the backroung

Good thing they have Dana 60’s

Damn, this was a rather amazing lada :D

Such an awesome channel

4:18 Immortan Joe's vehicle in Mad Max

It's a Larp. A Lada trying to be a Sherp.

Looks very fun

Good job

this reminds me of a crazy Russki machine called the Cheburetor, which I saw in the early days of youtube. The background music was by a Russian artist called Chaif, the song was Volny Veter... .great stuff!

There's always the option of reverse steering using the rear of the vehicle to steer the rear end along with the front Of the vehicle you can steer that also that's 360 steering

Fantastic

If you can develop a mechanism for it to spin the wheels inviditually and opposite directions it will be full on controllable on water.

Easy solution for steering on water. Put an open differential in. Mount two E-brake levers with one running to each rear brake. You can sail it like a skid steer.

I'm amazed such thin pipes held together as an axle

I'd love for you to reverse everything. Turn right to go left, Clutch pedal = gas, gas = clutch, 1st gear = 4th gear, 4th gear = 1st gear ect ect.

Kamakazi fire eliminating Lada. Ever see that movie Demolition Man? Like the safety system there, but this one dumps foam. Drive into an area with fire (forest, building, parking lot) pull the lever and blow up in foam

Add a corkscrew to the tail shaft, it might assist with propulsion

4 wheel drive would ne a huge help in moving the car along in the water, and using the lake water to cool the engine instead of a radiator

Awesome

Solid pipes instead of shocks for suspension PLEASE 🥺❤️

G54 is this close to being in NYC, their logo being a tag, the crew being a gang and the people there making and jamming to hiphop.

All he really needed to make it go like a boat, was a steering rudder on the rear and a snorkel system! Great experiment though!👌😂👍

Nice. Try putting a prop at the back.

Still would like to see that V12 engine In a monster truck though But thank you for taking that advice With monster truck tires Garage 54

Jesus Lada, I've heard it can turn gasoline to wine

Next, split and add a boat prop to the drive shaft.

Needs a tread for sand like paddles. Also needs 4wd/awd

Haha I instantly thought ball joint too, then I saw the rotten control arm

maybe a uaz with two straight axles in the front and the back and brakes plumbed to give it a sort of skid steer would work better for that size of a tire

Need some pontoons under the floor 🙃

4x4 Best idea

Can you make a clutch out of really strong magnets?

A hovercraft lada is next lol

Need to do this again, but make the vehicle water tight like a boat, and need an all-wheel-drive vehicle.

They made a friend for that Hummer on tiny wheels they created a while ago

0:16 Off to Odessa it is then

Whistling diesel has tried it with their truck putting big tires and floating on the Atlantic Ocean it works but very slowly

New method of drifting

Guys can you do an engine swap with double ural motorcycle engines connected like 4 cylinder boxer? Will IT pull? Or even be stringer than a stock lada engine?

The 4 wheel steer lada with nitros

Next, hovercraft Lada, why not.

Whistlindiesel style lol

if the lada was 4-wheel drive, with the front dif welded like the rear, would it be able to steer on the water when you turn the steering wheel with the tires that are on it in this video??

3D printed models of this car would be cool to sell. On line well okay the blueprints I guess are easier so it's a thought 🤔 great job and glad you got to swim this was great and funny all in 1 great work everyone 👍 👏 😀

With your skills fit a propeller to the rear axle via another diff

Maybe in the future do a straight axle conversion on the front of the car for this type of project.

We need some water Lada tug-of-war..

If that Lada was AWD it would work pretty good as a boat... Those front wheels just need to be powered for it to be controllable.

A solid front axle will help with the flexing of the front tires

I'm at 4:28 into the video and I see non hub centric wheels 👌 I foresee snapped wheel Studds LoL I'll wait and See

Try that thing in the snow this winter.

3:05 ...rear wheel began to mysteriously roll.

Sick!

With stock tires, snorkels and a periscope you could drive it under water..?

The propulsion would have been stronger had you turned the tires around backwards... Great job my Siberian brothers!

LMAO That lada needs a rudder hooked up to it so to steer it better

Mad max lada edition

"It won't go anywhere but straight" Ooooh... Make a lada go straight but then try to add steering by differentially running the tyres like tank treads.

A pair of pontoon floats under the car would help and then you would not need such big tires. Fun all the same.
