Only if y’all could instal a transfer case for low range. Or a low gear in the rear end. I think it could plow snow then. But still a good idea guys. I love these videos

Years ago there was a Russian video with a Lada VS a snowmobile across a big snow filled field... the Lada had these steel back wheels that were like dodecahedrons with 4" steel "paddles" on all the points. Thing beat the snowmobile handily.

[@busyguy7479]

its all about fun with those cars, never a dull minute. some good ideas from you guys that work its good positive thinking in a world thats needs a uplift.

[@DashcamDriversGermany]

How about a real Lada-Tank? Remove the Driveshaft, fit tracks from front to back left and right on the lada and use the Hydaulic system you used earlier in the Videos. But use a Lever for each track to control them for forward and backward motion so you can have full control.

Re-enforce the drive axle so it stays nice and straight. Open up those wheel arches a little, and put a much bigger engine behind it, and you'll have yourself a snow beast 🤘

Dm ♥️ I have something for you 📩📩📩

[@unconventionallifestyle4827]

Add a second standard gearbox, behind the existing one, for lower years. Lift suspension all round by 4 inches, to clear the body over the snow and fit wider or double front wheels too. Clutch should be fine, with extra gears. The low center of gravity with wide wheels will be great on slopes

[@tele_gramMrMacintosh1]

Dm ♥️ I have something for you 📩📩📩

[@biggestcomplainer]

We need more of this. Maybe a lifted lada with a better gear ratio for that. Internet gold.

[@JonathanWhoever]

Doubles when ya don't care about it! That cracked me

[@_CryptoNoob_]

I've done this with an atv in the past. I used 3" lug rubber snowmobile track and wrapped it around a set of 8" rims/tires. It was amazing in deep snow but would rattle your teeth on flat hard ground ahahah. You should retry this experiment with snowmobile tracks. They are surprisingly resilient, and weigh 10x less than that steel track you're using

[@EMNM22]

I feel like half the appeal of videos like these is that they take shitty cars and try to make them good. If they kept trucking thru everything with a 4x4 offroader, it wouldnt be as funny or impressive as a little dinky lada doing it

[@wimsnuif1232]

Split the tracks in in half with a torch, then weld cap off the cut sides, 2 front and 2 rear

[@deandee8082]

balanced and trued up and maybe narrowed up about 6" it would work well with a bigger wheel well.. vroom vroom

[@shoveI]

These guys should mount the hot side of a turbo to the pinion of an axle and make an "exhaust driveshaft"

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

A turbo impeller has almost no power at static and low rpm's. Better to connect the turbo direct to the engine via the flywheel. That will make it a turbo compound engine. Put a starter gear on the turbo shaft and then connect it to the flywheel in place of the starter. You'll have direct conversion of exhaust heat to mechanical energy which means you'll get more efficiency out of the engine. A turbocharger, OTOH, is designed to cram more air-fuel mix into the cylinders and you get more power that way. It is less efficient in terms of converting heat energy into mechanical work.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

And yes, a turbo compound Lada engine will have the problem of starting it. The alternator could be replaced with a motor-generator, which can act as both starter and generator.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

@@shoveI That would work. I'm just basing my idea on the turbo-compound engine that was used in the DC-7 airliner. When it worked, it was awesome. The metallurgy of the time just wasn't up to the task and it was unreliable for passenger service.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

My dude, mount some files on the tracks and you could grind perfect arches on the fenders for tire clearance.

[@johnsimun6533]

Adding tracks on the front, so it would sort of have all four corners floating on top. Or the current tires, sort of cutting through. Which is better? How much benefit would the addition of skis, in place of the front result in? What system could be, for the tires and the skies , either together or engaging skis?

[@joe125ful]

Edit:Test this on mud too!

[@TylerDuysen]

never seen that style track here in the us atleast not that narrow a better way to do this if you have 4x4 is take either a already wide rim or make a wide rim then you take plate steel and weld it to the rim sticking straight up(makes the track ribs) then just weld three crossbars between each rib for strength then it far more balanced and you have way more suspension travel/wheel clearance) you can use the same concept but you use rubber tracks as well instead of building metal ribs dont use on a lada or atleast not without really low rear gears and a low geared transmission they just dont make nowhere near the power to turn the "wheels" correctly

[@UMG-Melons]

Strap some skis on the front wheels to see if it will help the steering. (Наденьте несколько лыж на передние колеса, чтобы посмотреть, поможет ли это рулевому управлению.)
