that is the most alaskan/russian thing I have ever seen. Also, a friend of mine (the guy who sold me the deathkart for the next NEAI meet) has made use of the space that sale freed up. His new project came home today.  Unlike all his jeeps, if this one leaks he's in really deep poo poo.   It's got a really weird transaxle/transfer case.

In some part of my mind, I will always feel like I wasted my life because I don't have one of those. e: Or possibly die with one while involved in a high speed chase with the National Guard. Mulva fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Sep 21, 2016 |

This is a Losi 1/5 5IVE-T that has been converted to a brushless electric motor and lithium batteries.

My reactions: "Fuckin' sweet." "Fuckin' hilarious." "Fuckin' WHAT?" Isn't that a Scud launcher chassis? Well, not Scud (those are 8-wheeled), but something similar. Edit: in similar news, a couple weeks ago I was working down near Ft. Polk and met an HEMTT on a little 2-lane backroad out in the woods. That was terrifying, those things are huge.

Throatwarbler posted:Aren't train carriages really really heavy? How could thode things even move? That's an M62 locomotive, which weighs about 128 tons. I don't know how much a loaded missle launch platform weighs but I wouldn't be surprised if it were close to that. I think the theory is that it is intended as a mobile power plant. The engine output is 1974 hp, or just under 1.5 MW.

Well the missile weighs in at 45,100 kg, so if you were super generous and said the erector and launcher set weighed in at around the same, you're well under that carriage.

Along the line of weight, this popped up on reddit recently: http://imgur.com/a/bSOKf (nsfw, some bare chests) They had a number of problems with the vehicle being too heavy and getting stuck when it broke through hard soil. That's the sort of problem I never would have considered prior to building my badass offroad RV.

Godholio posted:The 7917 has seven axles. The MAZ 547 is a 6-axle version, but it's strange there would be surplus TEL platforms for the SS-20, it's a newish system. I believe there were a couple built on the 7917 chassis as some project at some Moscow institution. I believe diesel electric with each wheel having a motor, 37mph top speed, and they hit some mechanical failure before off road testing that was supposed to be in 2003. Intended use has still not been revealed, but it was abandoned and is missing some parts in that picture. I believe the main suspicion is the goal was to create mobile power stations of some sort. On the picture from the other side of the unit, it's missing a couple wheel units, so they're probably sitting out to rot and have parts taken from them as needed. Not as crazy as the 7906 and 7907, but a pretty typical fate it seems for low production hardware in Russia.

Posted on Finnegan's Instagram with hashtag "boostcaboose" It appears to be an engine on a trailer. Just about any possible option for combining that with "boostcaboose" is completely insane, and awesome.

They're making a trailer, with an engine, solely to power a huge fuckoff supercharger, that they're going to use to charge the car towing the trailer. Holy poo poo.

VikingSkull posted:pretty sure it's just the sheet metal cab of the locomotive and not the heavy rear end frame to it If they kept the v16 diesel I think they probably kept at least some of the frame to support it. Also that is old enough (60s) that it may be a legitimate hood unit, not just a cowl unit, in which case the hood is part of the structure, not just a cover.

Surprisingly reasonable at £200k, admittedly I don't have 2k to spend on a sports car right now, but if I had the money I would be all over it.

 I don't even know that there's a "versus" in there, it's just four guys loving around instead of two. Which is awesome.
