Clumsy beasts.

geez. don't they realize all the erosion they are causing? What about the salmon? And the birds. What about the birds?

Maybe it is the Russians causing global warming.

^
no, george bush started global warming.....duh, lol

**** the birds, what about the gigantic humpbacked wilderbeast?

i really didnt even know that the russians were allowed to go outside, let alone drive

 

[Spitfire1975]

I forgot about the humpbacked wilderbeast. AND the endangered Pickle-Necked BushBeater.

Well, you were half right. The Russians ARE NOT allowed to drive. The Russian Government hired a group of Frenchman to drive the trucks. It's all part of the propaganda.

Those trucks can be impressive. I highly recommend anyone in to off roading and racing to save the cash and see them in a rally.

none of those had 4axles, nor 4-wheel steer. that looks more like the semi-truck racers with different back-ends. or the ones they run up pikes peak, i pitted near one of them last year at pikes peak.......

Rally trucks don't carry unnecessary weight. I am talking off-road trucks though.

yeah those are more "off-road" than the grand prix semis, but more "on-road" than those huge 4-axle beasts in the video.......they're somewhere in the middle.

I love those Hemmits, we just got them in when I was getting out of the service. They will climb a tree, and with that 4 wheel steer and 8 wheel drive it's hard to get them stuck!

 

[88gt]

that is really cool, but it almost seems like cheating. you would have to be really imaginative to get one of those things stuck.

I've got pictures of dump truck racing on snow/ice. Several of which are airborne.

 

[t0x1k]

Is it me or did the first truck have a solid axle that was also an independent?
