It is too bad that there likely won't be any new videos once BMI Russian runs through whatever videos were in the can when Russia was sanctioned for their unnecessary war with Ukraine. As usual, the leaders of a country fucked around and its citizens found out. Vlad (the Garage 54 guy, not the dictator of Russia) won't see this comment as IIRC Russia has cut off internet sites from outside their country but IIRC phones still work so BMI Russian might be able to read some of these off to him over the telephone from whatever country he lives in. I hope the Garage 54 staff and owner are doing as well as can be considering their country was just cut off from the rest of the world. Maybe they can use their experience repairing and modding Ladas to specialize in their repair for paying customers until Vlad Putin is kicked out of office and things return to normal (best case scenario). They even have the CNC machinery to make their own car parts since they won't be able to import any new ones.
Nearly pissed myself laughing in the first 20 seconds. “Used to be infested by a colony of termites” isn’t something you hear every day when discussing old cars...
I had a bunch of rats living inside my Sebring that was parked. They made a nest out of the hood insulation, and ate through a single engine ground cable. We spliced the cable and it fired right up.
@@A3ATOT exactly, it was "beavers" in the original video. But I couldn't bring myself to do such a blunt translation (though I'm not sure "termites" work that well either).
Back in the day (high school years), a few buddies and I would "move" smaller cars for comical effect when we'd go out walking at night out of boredom. Moved a girlfriend's car a full 90 degrees one night (picked rear up and swung it around; so it was originally parked 12 to 6 o'clock in the driveway, we swung rear so car was in the 9 and 3 o'clock position with rear tires in the yard). Got a call at 8am the next day from her, yelling at me as her mom thought she came home (under the influence apparently) and parked it with the rear tires half way in the yard with the front basically sideways on the driveway. Remember saying to her "Thought your mom had you on a 9pm curfew?" Busted.... Man I miss those times. Thumbs up for better days!
dude, we used to do that too! Later, kids at our rival HS used to flip smart cars upside down in our neighborhoods, so we went into their HS parking lot one night and picked up the Honda Civic their auto shop was working on. we got it onto caster wheels and rolled it out almost a mile to block the front entrance of their school... sideways, so they couldn't just tow or push it out. It took 'em almost 5 hours to undo what we did in like 45 min lol! And WAY back in my Moms day, she and her friends put their principals car into their empty school pool! It took a crane to get it out, and Mom got expelled XD
My sister's class did that to one of their professors, only worse... one day he walked to work (lived on campus) looked up and there was his little bitty car.... on the balcony above the entrance.
Think they did a bit. Rear tire gap increased. Front would need different struts or some type of extensions welded in or maybe cobble up some spacers under the strut tower?
I was honestly surprised that they made it the first time! I know how they feel... I got into a similar situation... The same but uphill... I had to turn the car....
Lifting car body does not give you more clearance. It's the axles that limit the clearance. They definitely need much bigger tires. Also need to change gear ratio in the gearbox: currently they can't start at lower wheel turning speeds because they don't have powerful enough engine for this, so they start at higher speed, causing wheels to slip and losing grip. And yeah, having no smoothing elements on the transmission lines causes giant shock impacts on the transmission elements. No wonder they ended with a broken gearbox. And look at 5:00 - the car goes stuck even when the snow is way below the bumper. I had a similar car (21099), it was the stock 2WD, and it performed MUCH better than this. Just say I would start worrying about being stuck only if the snow level goes near to the bumper's lower point.
Also that rigid rear axle becomes a snow plow if not combined with bigger tyres or portals. Still on a front engined car, front ground clearance is key to avoid a tendency to wedge the nose against the snow, as well as a skid plate to prevent picking up snow in the engine compartment. The Samara could have shown off on packed snow rather than fresh deep snow.
With everything looked, you can’t run different size of tires. That’s what broke the transfer case. Try it again with the same “tractor” tires in all 4 wheels.
That's absolutely not the reason why it broke. It was just too weak. And the parts were from a different car so the ratio probably weren't right anyway.
@@banaana1234 this, and the grip on the snow is poor. And you see in an another video with the UAZ that the transmission held on even with the wheels spinning in different directions with better grip. Likely would last that all day long when it's of proper build
Love your work fellas, and thanks for doing such experiments which give us the conclusions for nothing. Thanks all Team and a special thanks to the clear narrator.
I think that the best thing you could've done would be to give the car bigger/wider tires. Your main issue was that you were sinking into the snow, reducing ground pressure would probably have helped a fair bit. And of course, as you say, had symmetric grip/tire sizes.
In Italy we have the Fiat Panda 4x4, a light 4wd car. It rides amazingly on the snow, especially the first generation ones! You basically built your own Russian Panda 4x4 😁 greetings from Italy 👋👋
Weren't these Pandas named something like Sisley 4x4? I remember checking what the guys who take care of cattle in the mountains use, usually It was the most affordable and reliable available.
If you think that Lada's are basically FIAT's anyway, it wouldn't be hard to turn one to the other and I think the little Panda 4x4's are awesome. I seem to remember Yugo were looking to put a 4x4 from a Panda into its 45 or 55 but then democracy happened and Yugo was consigned to the annals of failed communism.
Great video well done, Well done with the rust too, I had a few fords like this, my MK2 transit was especially bad, I was welding it for weeks, nice to see some hand on work done.
I think it's pretty awesome and I actually like the look of Lada's, they remind me of Chevrolet Chevettes. The components are a bit too weak to be welded, doing the front and rear added a lot of stress. If it weren't for the snow and that was dry pavement, it might not have lasted as long. Plus the tractor tires looked like they were taller than the front- more stress. Narrow tires are supposed to be good in snow. Rebuild that thing with a clutch type limited slip in the rear and maybe the front, though gear types are better for turning and it might last longer. Make another set of those tractor tires. I want to see this thing prosper.
That was pretty damn cool. So basically all you needed to do was put a lift kit on it and make sure it's running equal tires, sweet... Looking forward to the next one 😁👍👍👍
Or at least those same types of custom wheels they got for the back, as the front was definitely the weak link after that and kept sinking deeper into the snow.
the engine does not have enough punch. the transmission is too long at low revs. the only chance not to kill the motor is to go at nominal rpms with all 4 tires slipping.
@@rarbiart Good point. One idea I had is to get thin wheels with decent tread and raise the suspension so they basically cut their way through the snow instead of trying to go on top of a compressed layer.
"Four wheel drive lets you get stuck in more inaccessable places." -- Paul Harvey I'd like to see how it does if you gave it a few inches more ground clearance: Lift it!
This is beyond true , on the rare occasion my 2wd f150 gets stuck it takes just a couple min. To get it out, when I get my 4x4 truck stuck it's there until summer,lol that's the red clay of the southeast US for you.
It reminds me of my Yugo. The thing was so light, my co workers kept picking it up and moving it around on me. I found it sitting on top of a big snow bank one day. I was not happy but they just slid it down off the bank easy peasy.
Definitely a successful project! Would love to see you take it out to your Test Track and do some snow-drifting with it. After that, you can give it some increased suspension height, and do some trail riding. Long live the Lada 4x4!
KentexDamgaard 🤣 Well, the goal of the project was to transform a front wheel drive car into a fulltime awd car. In that they were successful. It was able to drive forward, backwards, left and right, under its own power (except in deep snow; obviously it needs higher ground clearance), with all four wheels turning in sync. Admittedly, grenading the franken-case was a fail, but as long as the project continues to evolve, I wouldn’t consider it a total failure. As for getting stuck every two seconds... chalk that up to Driver Error. Why drive the low little car with skinny tires into deep snow?? 😆
needs to be lifted so it don't catch so much snow against the under body as that would greatly increase resistance, good gripping tires on the front as well to share the load, if the front is slipping and the back grips the back is dealing with all the force to move the car, this is a very interesting project and i hope i see more of it.
How about fitting a low range transfer box to this setup? Could be a challenge because of the transverse engine but I'm pretty sure it's never been tried before.
These style of AWD Transfer cases are usually sized to handle how much torque a clutch can transmit at the rear axle. They are not sized to handle the amount of torque it takes to make the rear tires spin. So the host correctly root caused why it exploded.
it done a lot better than i thought it would but i have to admit the ground clearance is what made it get stuck all those places... 4 point of contact (tires) versus the WHOLE bottom, the bottom wins!
Vlad's got a new toy! 4-wheel drive is great fun, but a drive-train designed for it is best. Is there a Russian version of the Jeep? Very good job calculating the proper gear ratios, and fabricating a system, but something had to give when parts not designed for a purpose get abused. Better luck with the next idea!
Are you ever going to redo that car or another car. It was really enjoyable watch that little thing rip through the snow. I myself would like to see an experiment like that one again some time.
@@nathan_hl9556 I agree with that. The problem was the weight ratio that not equal in rear and front and if tractor tires were on front axle the performance may be more better.
Hey where do I get a tool like at 2:05 the guy filling the diff oil, I have the stupid little hand pump you put on your jug...the tool here looks far more convenient
I've seen it many of times. Bald tires and less aggressive tires will get you further in SOME circumstances those belt tires just dug a hole where the street tires were just spinning. Deep Snow is kinda like sand mud tires dig

Probably should have lifted the car up to be able to drive through a foot of snow.
They should definitely continue whit this project. New rear diff, improve ground clearance, proper snow tires, maybe add weight for better grip..
Think they did a bit. Rear tire gap increased. Front would need different struts or some type of extensions welded in or maybe cobble up some spacers under the strut tower?

Put an airbag lifter system in it. As soon as you feel it starting to slip just hit the lift button and bingo, more traction
some bigger/better tires would also do it some good.
Uh yeah, that's what I call high quality content
With everything looked, you can’t run different size of tires. That’s what broke the transfer case. Try it again with the same “tractor” tires in all 4 wheels.
I think not having chains was the main issue... Having semi-loose chains could have improved the situation.
That's absolutely not the reason why it broke. It was just too weak. And the parts were from a different car so the ratio probably weren't right anyway.
The tires were slipping all the time so the different sized wheels wouldnt have made a difference.

it was permanent 4WD with 3 welded diffs..
@@pitecusH I know, but there was more weight on the front axle and the better traction in the rear was part of what broke the "transfer case".
@@nathan_hl9556 I agree with that. The problem was the weight ratio that not equal in rear and front and if tractor tires were on front axle the performance may be more better.
@@soheils65 True, thats why FWD is better than RWD in the snow
The taller tires on the back changed the effective gear ratio and caused the tranfercase to blow, or at leat it would have if you had any traction.
