The car was spotted a few blocks away with the rear shocks shoved thru the trunk.

Do the independent brakes - 4 master cylinders connected to a joystick in an X layout and the master cylinders separately connected each to a respective wheel. Drive, and use the joystick to activate each brake independently to steer. (or use 4 brake pedals?) Also, hook up the throttle to the steering wheel.

[@thefreedomguyuk]

There's a flaw in your model! It doesn't make any sense using a joystick.

[@the_kombinator]

@@thefreedomguyuk Dude, not an actual electronic joystick, you clown :P A metal rod that pivots like a joystick, which actuates pushrods into the master cylinders. Like a FWD manual shifter mechanism with a nylon ball on the bottom and rods welded to the shift rod - push it forward, front brakes engage. Push it to the forward left, the front left brake actuates. Push it to the left, both left brakes actuate. And so on in that fashion.

[@jeeromonster]

Another entertaining video guys! good job.

[@manadoria]

The actual result for the 1.5 ton test occurred around 14:03 when the Lada had essentially no momentum and yielded around 568 kg. The 800 kg they claimed was a product of the Lada's inertia as a result of the relatively short distance they were able to accelerate (uninhibited by the Hummer) after allowing the Lada to drift backward slightly. Nonetheless, it was still entertaining and the results were mostly meaningful.

[@nashthebaker9338]

In Canada, if you have a pickup truck, you just load the back bed up with compacted snow for extra weight to improve traction a bit.

[@DzeiEidz]

In the 90s, I had an engine block and a cylinder head (all cast iron) in the trunk of my Opel Manta :) They helped me through winters...

[@sebymesteru]

Somewhere in the '80's,my father had a friend with an Lada and in the winter he was driving @ with an cast iron heater of @60-70kg's in it's trunk. But 2,5Tones.....pour Lada.... Those car's are almost indestructible....

[@CaptHollister]

When I was a kid, most people here drove big RWD American cars and carrying one or two sacs of sand or road salt in the trunk was normal in winter. By the time Ladas started being imported into Canada, most new cars were FWD, but Lada drivers still relied on the old trick of adding weight in the trunk.

Two paving slabs seemed like a good number for my friend's rally car.

Get a shorter rear transmission, and even this engine would make it.

[@jurajkovac1770]

Lots of cars nowadays uses something like a snow mode for setting off in snowy terrain. What it does is that car shifts into second gear and you start moving with lower rpm on a tires, so you increase a grip. pretty simple and handy when you are stuck in the snow.

[@weedis3]

For dummies its necessary , snow can be a B***H .

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

So for a couple episode idea, take a Lada and weld the back doors shut. Cut the roof off at just behind the front seats and plate it in so it will be a truck! Then take the engine out the front and put it in the back and see how big of wheelies you can do!! Hell ya!! LoL these guys a crazy, I love it!!

[@otm646]

In Michigan a rear wheel drive car takes about 140 lb, they sell gravel or sand in heavy duty bags at 70 lb each. For a small pickup truck you need 300-500 lbs, for a full size truck up to 1,000 lbs.

Really cool test, I've always wanted to see how much lateral force a vehicle can apply with X weight over the drive wheels. Just wish they'd done this on a controlled surface like inside the shop so you can ensure the same amount of traction every time vs the tire studs digging through the snow to the surface below affecting the results. Hard to imagine that the weight on that little car is 700 pounds more than my Ford F-150 weighs. Unreal.
