Love the video. All of them are good. When I was a kid, my dad and I took a 405ci engine out of an old beat up car, and sat it in an old boat. We hooked up the propeller shaft directly to the crank on the back of the engine. Whatever rpm the engine did, the prop did to. That old boat would do 75mph and scare the crap out of us. Built the whole thing for about 700 bucks.
@@ROTAXD Russia is second world ;) If I remember correctly, the whole "first world" and "second world" deal is (or was) a reflection of the geopolitical situation on our planet, where you have developed capitalist countries (USA, Europe and so forth), socialist nations (USSR, China and certain Eastern European countries), and "third world" countries which don't fit into either paradigm.
I wish I lived in a country where THE cheap beater car to go to was RWD, manual, and had excellent rust protection... Basically the opposite of the USA
sadly most Ladas ARENT that rust free underneath. we had them here in the UK for a while and they were the only thing (along with Skodas of the era) that rusted as fast, or faster than the 70s Fiats (which the lada is pretty much a reproduction of the Fiat 127 but with a locally sourced engine due to costs at the time)
Volvo 240, esp 1975 to 77 with the B20 pushrod engines. Volvo 140 was awesome too but those been too expensive the last 25 years. Volvo always were primitive like Lada but benefitted from their primitive nature, the bushings and other rubber parts were horrible though, wasnt rectified before 1978.
@Ponga Pandit it goes flywheel - clutch - bell housing - gearbox. He left the first three intact and connected the shaft to the first gear inside the cut off gearbox. The clutch is there and functional.
+Michael Skřepský That is a VAZ-2101, they stopped production in 1988, so no, it's not a few years old. The more modern 2100 series ended it's production in 2012, which is probably what you were thinking of.
The reason your shaft broke was not because of the rubber being weak but because of the big unbalance in the axle making it swing around so much it snaps. It could work to either way make a completely straight axle that is well balanced or use extra support bearings to keep it steady and you could rock with it I’m sure. But it was fun to see some parts flying anyway ;)
I basically did this with a 70 Mustang doing 70mph. The 4speed ran out of gear oil due to a rear seal leak. First gear is the fastest free spinning gear, which is why it welded itself to the output shaft in an instant, popping it out of 4th gear. Slowed down REAL FAST to about 35mph in no time as the 302 shot up to 7k rpm, and then the front u-joint broke on the parkway by the old J&L mills in Pittsburgh PA. Attempting to pole vault with the now dislodged drive shaft, it pulled the tailpipe clean over the rear end and wrapped it around the driveshaft. Best thing that happened was a traffic jam due to the Squirrel Hill tunnels at rush hour, so I was able to peel away the exhaust and change the u-joint (had a spare) on the side of the road with cars going slowly by. Started it up having to hold in the clutch to stop while in the slow moving traffic jam for about 1mile, before getting off at my exit. It was also quite loud with no muffler or tailpipe.
i was waiting for them to tell us that but they didn't instead they destroyed perfect gearbox, did some shitty welding and couldn't even finish their own experiment..
How about tossing out the entire prop shaft and attaching a hydraulic pump to the motor and a hydraulic motor to the rear differential so you get a Hydro static transmission. A hydraulic lever like the ones used to control a hydraulic cylinder would decide how much of the pressure from the pump goes to the motor and how much just gets returned to the reservoir. Further you would be able to use the car afterwards as a mobile hydraulic power plant to power log splitters, hydraulic scissors and more.
@@rjs198585 True Hydrostatic Transmission is the correct terminology. Hydraulic transmission can also be a Hydrokinetic transmission or a type of automatic transmission. I have corrected it now, thanks!
That's been done in the States for several years now and the big fertilizer company's use the big wheeled units forspraying fertilizer and pesticides on the fields. These implements are big and will surprise you how fast they canrun. Since they are powered by a hydraulic pump driving hydraulic motors they have a lot of power. The tires on therigs are at least 8 ft. tall and the wheel base takes up more than a lane on the highway. That means traffic on thehighway will see flashing lights and a big farm implement that is traveling almost 45 mph pull over so there isroom on the highway for traffic to pass. They have the clearance and the power to run through a ditch. How aboutthat for offroad equipment!
its not the rubber couplings fault.. prop shafts have to be perfectly balanced, and making it longer and adding more stuff to it is gonna throw it off balance and destroy itself ...
8:34 you can clearly see how imbalanced the driveline is, also on a 3 joint drive line, the front u joint (or coupling) has to be completely in line with the trans other wise there will be a massive amount of inbalance. the middle one and the rear will be able to cancel each other out. plus the trans mount was deleted allowing the motor to move up and down which puts unnecessary stress on the coupling and makes the inbalance worse.
Uhhh...yes a really good welder can weld a drive shaft together. It still needs to be balanced though. Even a stock one comes with weights because it’s been balanced. Yes they need to be balanced. Yes he should have used a clutch. Yes it broke for several reasons. Still it was a good video: we learned what won’t work. 👍
I think it had to much joints and not enough bearings to support it. The drive shaft just rolls up on itself instead of transferring power. Anyway, 4th gear ussualy is direct drive.
The prop shaft didn't blow out because of the load, it broke because of the imbalance. That's why it's recommended to get the driveshaft rebalanced when the u-joints are replaced. Once they start spinning and bowing out, there's no yoke on the planet that can withstand that kind of force. Great video, but to the commenters saying to slip the clutch; it wouldn't have saved it. Shock load didn't kill it, the rpm did.
The lack of support made it blow, i knew it would before he tested it. I once lost a shaft support on a rwd volvo 240 going 90kmh, the banging and shaking was insane but nothing broke, new support rubber asnd bearing and the car was good as new. Imbalance will not harm unless you got one of those Alfa Romeo Alfetta with rear mounted gearbox/transaxle, those italian DOCH engines rev very high with the axle between engine and gearbox moving at crankshaft speed.
These guys are great eh. Building a lata into a sprint race car...if you have time Chech out on TH-cam sprint car racing they don't have transmissions, battery, or starter they push to start for racing really a wild ride. .
1. build a support for whats left of rear of transmission, as well as a support bearing behind the coupler (transmission side) 2. use the clutch to ease the engagement from stand still, dropping the rear when spinning will shock load the driveline and hurt it no matter what. 3. try heat treating the new fabricated prop shaft to make it less brittle
it wasn't welded straight enough it needs to be balanced to hold together right I saw a wobble in the shaft from the start then when the rpms came up it self destructed really
The production quality and shop has improved in more recent videos but you'll have stuck to your roots. Thank you for not doing like a lot of others and drastically changing. Also want to thank the translator for his work. I wouldn't be able to properly enjoy these videos without you.
I think it is the imbalance of the drive shaft that makes it fall apart. Just a single millimeter off can make the whole car vibrate and you can see the imbalance when he was recording under the car. 8:29

That's just silly. Same as having it in high gear. 1:1. Why not put another gearbox backwards behind the stock one. See if you get super hyper overdrive. Go plaid.
So basically what we want is a collab between garage 54 and gear down for what? Imagine a 1,000,000:1 ratio, no way itd ever actually work, but itd be fun to watch!
@@hamstirrer6882 I'm pretty sure it actually would work since the secondary box would be acting as an induction gear instead of a reduction gear, in the end all you need to make sure of is two things: 1: That there is a conversion box between the gearboxes for proper shaft rotation. 2: That the secondary box is in it's final gear to ensure proper operation of the primary gearbox and that when the primary box is in top gear to start going down in gears on the secondary box to increase overall speed.
GRIFAbyte101 true but that would take some serious engineering, both in design and manufacturing, to implement properly, which isnt the point of this channel. Good point though, i meant it hypothetically and basically as a joke
@@DILLIGAF2101there is a shifter to put it either in or out of gear so when there working on it or bringing it to the track before starting the rear is disengage but when racing the engage it then push start the car kinda like a clutch
Direct drive works great. Sprint cars been doing it for years. Push start that baby and you're off. For years high gear was one to one anyway. Now we have over drive. Great video as always
The gearbox is there to remove the excess energy so the shaft will not break. That is why the shaft is breaking and bending because there is no gearbox. When we start the car and change gears the purpose is just one simple purpose to protect the shaft from breaking because of excess energy and the gearbox is the only way to do it. He should have studied the purpose of the gear before trying a new theory.
I don’t think so. It would either destroy the clutch (almost at impact with the plates) or it would have sheared through the valvetrain and/or the drive shafts.
You don’t see a American or any other channel like this, Russians are unique and this stuff would be illegal other areas lol best mechanic channel ever even if they can’t speak English or etc they are still an awesome group of Russians!
the rubber coupling didn't exploded until it started flexing due to lack of carrier bearing at the end of the extension where the back of the transmission housing would have been
And if you push start that is exactly what you are supposed to do. (I mean you are not supposed to push start a modern car but for that old Lada it should be fine.)
Žanas Tumasonis 4th gear is a 1:1 gear ratio on most cars. The only exceptions would be a 3 or 4 speed where 3rd is 1:1. Or one of the newer 8-10 speed transmissions where either 5th, 6th or 7th is 1:1.
That was so balanced did u see that weld 🤣 wide enough to handle the torque my axle shafts thinner..... I hate engineers.... Can I kick you in the nuts?
You guys are crazy as a box of squirrels!!!!....crazier than CANADIANS......and that's a good thing....I love it and I subscribed...you do stuff we ALL want to do....but we just DREAM most of it....you DO IT Cheers from Canada North
@@mwbgaming28 correct however it let go at a low rpm, thus less effect of the unbalancing = massive load. try taking off in a high gear and see what happens to a shaft unmodified
We all crazy, and you're crazy enough to do what we want to see. The cool part, I'm learning a lot Russian cars.and on your prop driven air car, the load bearing you built was done expertly! So, your not just crazy, your talented as well!
They must not use salt on the roads in Russia because you still see all the old cars that they have and look at the shape of this one even. The old Lata is in amazing shape underneath no rust at all.In Canada u get 10 to 15 years and its going to be rusted out .If you put undercoating on it you might get an extra five years or so.
If you left the clutch in place.... why didn't you use the clutch by slipping it to load the driveshaft up slowly? Would burn through the clutch quite quickly but would give you more than a few starts before it went. Same as starting in 4th, or whatever the 1:1 ratio of the transmission is. I've successfully started in over drive before by slipping the clutch a ton. Just for fun!
For a simple proof of concept, just try driving the car in 4th gear. In 4th, the output shaft of the transmission is connected directly to the input shaft, the torque does not go through any gears. The gears are just "free wheeling".
@Turbo vr that's super weird because my android phone costs more than any rubbish apple you can buy. You're obviously mentally handicapped which is obviously why you're so poor that you have to buy apple products

He should have studied the purpose of the gear before trying a new theory.
@@democracyforall you misunderstood the joke
I thought he was going to use the clutch ? If he slipped the clutch I bet it would have worked better.
I don’t think so. It would either destroy the clutch (almost at impact with the plates) or it would have sheared through the valvetrain and/or the drive shafts.
most peopl e wont put in 1/4. of the amount of work these guys put in to their. vids...shits supper funny..love it kepp up the good work and thanks..
This feels like some really weird retro-futuristic cable TV program and i fucking love it
You sound like a great guy to be around. Love your videos! Keep up the good work brother
This channel is my favorite
Hahaha, who needs a lift when you can just roll the car over on its side?
Hydraulic jack? Screw jack? NOPE! Get 4 guys to just lift the car onto its side
You don’t see a American or any other channel like this, Russians are unique and this stuff would be illegal other areas lol best mechanic channel ever even if they can’t speak English or etc they are still an awesome group of Russians!
This man is an automotive hero.
the rubber coupling didn't exploded until it started flexing due to lack of carrier bearing at the end of the extension where the back of the transmission housing would have been
“We didn’t think this one through” oh?
Hey you guys are awesome. Stuff being done only to realise that these things were only a thought or curiosity. Thank you so much for the vids👍
Keep up the good work! thanks guys for trying this crazy stuff out!
Save yourself a lot of work and put it in 4th gear
Would have been a lot easier yes.
That's what I thought
And if you push start that is exactly what you are supposed to do. (I mean you are not supposed to push start a modern car but for that old Lada it should be fine.)
why 4th exactly? how do you know?
Žanas Tumasonis 4th gear is a 1:1 gear ratio on most cars. The only exceptions would be a 3 or 4 speed where 3rd is 1:1. Or one of the newer 8-10 speed transmissions where either 5th, 6th or 7th is 1:1.
It's not the rubber coupling, it's the extension not being wide enough to handle the torque.
P.S. I'm a mechanical engineer
Its the unbalanced drive shaft
That was so balanced did u see that weld 🤣 wide enough to handle the torque my axle shafts thinner..... I hate engineers.... Can I kick you in the nuts?
@@joker4206987 bruh wtf
Yes I agree with you an extra thick peace of pipe and also an extra bearing and carrier.
Engineers lmao
I just found this channel and I love it.
I have a great day when I have watched your show!...thank you from Vancouver Island ,Canada
You guys are crazy as a box of squirrels!!!!....crazier than CANADIANS......and that's a good thing....I love it and I subscribed...you do stuff we ALL want to do....but we just DREAM most of it....you DO IT
Cheers from Canada North
Im thinkin the same thing jelly bean
exactly, how crazy is a box of squirrels?
all your videos are awesome my friend .i used to watch all
this guy is the most hardcore car mechanic in the world
wow that shot of the drive shaft exploding was perfect
What was the point of the clutch if you aren't gonna use it lol
Demonslayer20111 to be able to start the car
With the wheels up on a jack, the car would start just fine without the clutch.
Erik J. True, but that'd be inconvenient
He didn't even use the clutch to start he just reached in through the window and started it with the clutch engaged...
@@lawrencegoralski3029 he started it on a jack. No point in having the clutch.
*The voiceover reminds of that hilarious old show, MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge).*
I miss that show
I started laughing my ass off at "it's all quite simple." Car just sitting on its side
Best language translator in the world !
lmao whoever put that mr carmack in at 2:00 thank u lol
Dangerous stuff boys be careful, safety is number one priority.
In Russia things work differently. If you disregard safety completely, no worries. Only when you pay attention to safety do you get hurt.
@@Mirage2000H say that to that one Russian dude forgot his name has I was gonna say it lol.
It took me 6 minutes to realize the car isint on a lift but on its side. That's creative
I love that it's natural for them to think "It's time to work on the car, lets flip the car over to get the transmission out".
you forgot to balance it
the shaft gave out because of imbalance
@Brian Woodrow the imbalance creates excessive load the faster the shaft spins
@@mwbgaming28 correct however it let go at a low rpm, thus less effect of the unbalancing = massive load. try taking off in a high gear and see what happens to a shaft unmodified
@@jasonstalder5208,
What would happen to the shaft?
yea, what happened to the clutch idea, that's why we put them in front of a variable speed direct drive transmission, ( manual transmission )
These guys will try anything once. Or twice. Good job.plz keep going!!
We all crazy, and you're crazy enough to do what we want to see. The cool part, I'm learning a lot Russian cars.and on your prop driven air car, the load bearing you built was done expertly! So, your not just crazy, your talented as well!
Wanna see someone put oil in a running car all the way up to valve covers or till it stops from to much oil
Link meh
@Lassi Kinnunen where I haven't seen it
Mighty car mods did it with their corolla
Id recommend making a cheap driveshaft safety loop out of some leftover scrap for part 2 so you dont lose a leg or any thing 😳
Thank you for doing all these crazy things to entertain people all over the world ...like your videos......
They must not use salt on the roads in Russia because you still see all the old cars that they have and look at the shape of this one even. The old Lata is in amazing shape underneath no rust at all.In Canada u get 10 to 15 years and its going to be rusted out .If you put undercoating on it you might get an extra five years or so.
3:36 WOW! Look at that welding mask!
If you left the clutch in place.... why didn't you use the clutch by slipping it to load the driveshaft up slowly? Would burn through the clutch quite quickly but would give you more than a few starts before it went. Same as starting in 4th, or whatever the 1:1 ratio of the transmission is. I've successfully started in over drive before by slipping the clutch a ton. Just for fun!
I think it was so out of balance at high rev it just snapped
I felt bad watching the transmission get destroyed. Love your videos but I love your old Ladas too haha
Whatever happened to the Russian Pobeda? I have read that they were tough little cars.
For a simple proof of concept, just try driving the car in 4th gear. In 4th, the output shaft of the transmission is connected directly to the input shaft, the torque does not go through any gears. The gears are just "free wheeling".
Direct drive =4th gear
@@geoffmerritt True but he's right
no its not, because of the final drive, closer to 3.5:1
Its weird seeing a video that fills my whole wide screen phone, lol
Same with me oneplus 6 t
Same with my Redmi note 8 Pro
@Phillip J. Fry ok boomer, Apple fanboy
@Phillip J. Fry your personality is poor
@Turbo vr that's super weird because my android phone costs more than any rubbish apple you can buy. You're obviously mentally handicapped which is obviously why you're so poor that you have to buy apple products
My new favorite channel! Very interesting to see these fun experiments!
wonderful video thanks for making it very cool the destruction was all at once and the camera angle was great for that
if you left the clutch in, why didnt you use it?
I wondered the same thing...
My thoughts exactly
Seriously!!!
9:36
That GoPro is lucky to be alive lol
Why is that camera "lucky to be alive"? You didn't think the wheels would hold on?
Very close indeed
You are a great mechanic.
In biological and chemical research scientists discover how something works by removing parts until it does not work. Congratulations for your discoveries about the gearbox!
