I think this and the tyre coming off the rim where double beadlocks are not in use. No point gaining a bit of speed if you can't finish the event.

Daan Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 There is a bit of fast stuff, say 80mph said jim in the video. But to be fair its only minutes untill the next tough section and you need low tyre pressures again. I ran on 5 PSI the entire event in 2016. The Russians and estonians run central tyre inflation for this reason. The event has now ended and Jim Won. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the Croatia trophy, it doesn't seem to matter much. That said the blue Estonian car was leading until he had a flat tyre and injured himself while dealing with it.

Daan Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Aluminium portal boxes and weight is 1300 kg. My preferred truck for this kind of thing. Hydro steer would prevent you from getting it road legal in the UK though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I thought at the very least there was a speed limit applied to hydraulic steering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 On 5/2/2019 at 12:56 PM, Daan said: That's a very old conversation which has been gone over many times; No, it is not in the manual, but it needs a solid link, no car is road legal without it. The speed restriction is I think 30 MPH for diggers etc, but if you show up with a car with over 300HP, that argument ain't going to fly I reckon. The first rule refers to Nissan steer by wire and the Citroen CX which had full hydro steering. Both have still a mechanical connection which is temporarily disconnected when the engine is started. The connection is spring loaded, so will drop back in once the engine is off, or the system stops working. Still, this car has a Panhard rod, so adding the PSC 4500 steering system would be fairly easy to do and would give hydraulic steering with a mechanical link. I would be keen on doing this, just the 60K euros to buy the car prevents me from it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I suppose it has the right colour for LR4x4 livery. Anyone feeling like kicking of some crowd fund raising? Daan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
