Ya can't bag a TB42 after seeing this stuff, well driven buddy

[suspexno1]

great driver !

what for?

[alper5005]

What engine is this? And what tyre setup? The hill looks pretty steep actually. These things look smaller on videos but this one really is steep.

Guy should be wiggling the wheel left and right as he clibs for more traction

[channelperth]

@TINTINAD4X4

In sand you NEVER do that because it slows you, this ain't mud buddy

[marshaltintin]

@channelperth , this is TINTINAD4X4, new account. So why not turn the wheel 10 degree's left and right to get more traction? I have been sand driving for the past three years with a group of offroaders that were, quite literally, born in the desert (some of them anyway) and that is a proven technique for extra traction on hill climbs.

try it, it works a treat mate!

[channelperth]

@marshaltintin , in this type of incline the momentum is important as well as having the power from the engine to spin the wheels quickly, to continue the momentum, but also to clear the sand that is in front of the tyre. Most of the sand is under the tyre but on a climb like that the tyre is not completely on top of the sand, it is partially immersed. So when the wheel spins it is digging that sand and pushing it under the tyre and out behind it.

[channelperth]

If you then turn the wheel the side of the tyre is then meeting that small wall of sand and it pushes back and absorbs your momentum. Not sure where you grew up mate but turning side to side wouldn't work on a rapid hill ascent in the kinds of dunes in this vid. The turning is good to assist in gaining traction in a lot of conditions, but there is no gain in traction on this type of sand, only loss of momentum

@ajk2001 The tyres look deflated buddy, he wouldn't have got half way up that without lowering the pressure
