When you're ripping a track vehicle never let off the throttle on landing or when you're about to cross a ditch. Letting off makes the nose dip hard and bad stuff happens. Slow down before an obstacle and accelerate through to keep the nose up.
@alexcrowder1673 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah exactly. I was wondering why they were doing that. My friends would do the same thing when they borrowed my snowmobiles. It should be common sense, but I guess it's not for everyone. Kinda rough on the vehicle to land that way too. Everything is forced to instantly accelerate on impact all while under extra weight with the shocks still compressed from having just fallen... i feel like stuff must be grinding in there. . Atleast you dont have to worry about leaning into turns on a ripsaw. I remember getting into arguments with ex girlfriends because they kept leaning away from the turns and constantly tipping the sled or even actually rolling it. I remember shouting "lean the way I lean!! Are you trying to kill us?". I still think id prefer a snowmobile to a ripsaw tank. Idk where id ride a ripsaw and snowmobiles can be ridden on the side of any snowy highway or any frozen lake, or on the thousands of miles of trails they have in the upper peninsula of michigan. Fun fact, the U.P. of michigan has more snowmobile trails than the rest of the united states put together. I accidentally ended up in canada once though because the borders are not marked whatsoever lol. We got suspicious when we stopped seeing american tags on snowmobiles, but didnt know we were in canada until we saw maps and flags of canada in a bar we had stopped at lol.

@@negativeindustrial That's your own priority. I paid 1200 cash for my 1st snowmobile and 1600 cash for my 1st car and 1500 cash for my 2nd car. Im not at all a wealthy guy. I just like snowmobiling so i spent less money on my car to be able to afford it. Its not about being rich, it's about prioritizing what you spend your money on and saving up for what makes you happy. If youve ever been to Detroit youll know what im talking about. Most peoples cars are worth more than their houses. They arent rich.... nice cars are just what people happen to prioritize over there (for obvious reasons). The average person in america could buy a used snowmobile with just a portion of their tax return. Snowmobiles are not just for rich people. Rich people suck at snowmobiling. Like they are terrible at it. They go out and spend like 20,000 dollar on a snowmobile they cant even ride properly and then hold up traffic on the trails because they are so slow.

Honestly don't think you could get much more out of it without a LOT of headaches. They come with a built DMax that makes between 600-700HP, and they can certainly make much more than that of course, but look at where the radiator is. Cooling has to be VERY restricted in these, the original intent has always been for Ripsaw to be a military vehicle after all with the civilian versions basically being equivalent to a Hummer H1(it does have creature comforts, but... I mean, these things still ride and drive like a raw piece of military equipment, just with leather seats lol), and the component packaging reflects that. The other issue is that these things weigh 10,000lbs and have a lot of mechanical drag with the tracks(not to mention turning). The Allison 1000 is completely built of course, but I don't know if that trans architecture(a pickup truck trans, Allison name or not) would hold up over the long term with more horsepower(big fat diesel power at that) on the other side of the equation. A little different set of problems than diesel drag & pulling trucks, this thing is going to spend a significantly longer duration of time being abused than those do. All of that said... I'd like to see them prove me wrong! LOL

@@RyTrapp0 The trans is certainly missing upgrades that you can see from the outside. You can also see the engine still has stock up pipes. My truck that had the same stock engine is 6200 lbs, and can scale at 10k with no issue. So in stock form, it can handle the weight. But I agree on all the extra drag.

@@warrenmichael918 no. Only 3 in the USA out of 15 sold. Doubt they sold more than one or two to the military for experimenting. The ripsaw never was bought for anything other than testing. Though H&H got bought by textron and they are using a version of the ripsaw chassis for a new vehicle, called the M5 unmanned mini-tank, with a turret housing a 30mm cannon. The US Army is currently testing them to see if they are something they'd want, and Textron has been advertising it at trade shows

I just have to say man, I'm working super-hard toward my dreams. Of moving to Florida and doing race car stuff in the next couple years. Realistically hopefully the end of this year, or beginning of next year. Up here nobody likes my cars. Even though they're pretty quick, and I'm sick of working for the man and my nine-year-old son and I are turning a shuttle bus into a home so we can drive across the country and do race car stuff all year in Florida. Turning it into a mobile welding school. The point of saying all this is that I am trying so hard and working so hard and failing miserably so far in my dreams. I got the race cars and the bus, but the finances are hard. And watching your channel, brings me levity everyday. You guys always have me laughing and I got a nice chance to live vicariously through you. To see those long-lasting and beautiful friendships you've developed over the years, i long for. I've been watching you since you were 1320. And you guys seem like a great group. You guys and PFI speed are probably some of the most wholesome guys in the automotive community on the internet. I just wanted to say thank you for all the years of entertainment. And for the motivation to keep pushing toward my dreams no matter how far away they seem.
