KPR's 84 chromelux discussion

Recommended Posts

Got the master on. its ali and the old one steel, so light weight bonus.   Has some brakes now.  May need bias valve in there, as it's locking the rears first, but still need to bed in the front brakes  so may come right..

 

The back of the truck weighs piss all. so doesn't need much rear bias.   I can dead lift it off the rear x member, wheel barrow spec. when the diff isn't in there, and im a skinny white guy.

haha,  yeh it is a bit scary in that mud.  it hooks up pretty good once tyres are cleared, but have to be hard up it for that to happen.   otherwise  it  just slides around all over the place.   so either way your holding on for the ride

Nice flex man, farking awesome!

and what a noise

That's a great looking place, sure would be fun to throw the Samurai at that hill

Maybe a little weight over the rear axle might help with "handling"?

Like this type of weight

Also what pressure are you running in the tyres?

was running 8psi front and 6psi rear this time.  rear still looks fully inflated at that pressure.

 

the last hill in that vid, only 1 other truck made it up, hilux surf of all things. he was running bran new silverstones though.   was a couple of safari's on simex/silverstones that didn't make it much further than the bottom. i just got lucky that my truck kinda went in the right direction.   not like earlier in the day when a tree jumped out in front.

its just so hilarious to watch the videos and all the happens is a truck approaches some mud then a motor gets fucking red-lined to death and mud flies in the air.

its like the opposite of the "gently gently" approach times a million. 

great work!

haha yeah the locker works sweet. has a bit of a mind of its own when all 4 are locked though

 

burnout comp sounds good, but only if the burnout pad is fulled with mud.  else spectators will end up with bits of gearbox and hubs stuck in there face
