A play with a RR Sport

[Redback]

In the bush, he's in the process of getting 17" rims and STTs for more fun offroad.

The fella standing by the side of the track seemed to think that the Sport was going to fall over! It is a good example of how good the traction control system is, having a front wheel so clearly off the ground, but still going forwards. It didn't look to be the most stable vehicle in that situation.

BigJon thats why for my money I'll never buy an off road vehicle with independant suspension. The more articulation the better. I agree that the new rovers are very good off road however having more wheels on ground are the key no matter what lockers TC you have.

Charlie - No arguement from me. That is why I have a live axled Range Rover. Oh, that and the cash issue...

[disco95]

Yep, definately the cash issue :wink:

[Redback]

well it's all about having fun really not cash, Ben is just an average guy that had the chance to buy a great car so he did, he acually wanted a D3 but got talked into LEASING the RR Sport.

Nothing to do with money :twisted: :twisted:

And as for the live axle V IFS or indapendant arguement, what a load of rubbish :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[BigJon]

Baz,

Live axle vs independant rubbish?

How so?

[Redback]

Well you can make an IFS vehicle these days as capable, just depends on how much money you throw at it, live axle has it's advantages and independent has it's advantages.

Even some of the super modified rock crawers are now going independent for more clearence as the diff doesn't protrude as low.

[PhilipA]

Yeah, electronics are great.
Except when the ABS and traction control lights come on just after you go through that small creek.
Its a bit dated now , but a P38A had these types of problems just about every time we went on a club trip.
How would the RRS go if an ABS sensor gets a bit dirty. They are brand new now. I would like to see one with 100k on it.
But good to see someone using a newun.

That RR Sport gets a bit too much air a little more and that guy standing on the left of the car would have been flattened.

Blood is easier to get off then scratches https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[Farnarkle]

Who's the bloke yelling out? We could prolly use him as an air raid siren https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[NOZ]

Thats looks tough, good stuff :wink:

[LoadedDisco]

As long as the blood is only on the outside.

I guess I just like to own my vehicles Baz. Not that there's anything wrong with doing it the other way.
Just one less bill to pay in a world that's full of 'em :wink:

[Ace]

Good vids baz.

I agree with baz, after seeing the D3 trump all of us live axle clad guys on the Mt Airley run i will never bag independant suspension again.

I lost the other thread, but how did you go with the tyres thing. I read you got a car trailer to tow it back. Where did you pick up a car trailer from? Matt
