the car is all back together. will be out for thanksgiving. we changed the look all new rims since the accident. the DWT rims that I had on it broke at the weld. so one piece rims now.
This guy would been amazed what 3'x3' piece of plywood with 2'' hole in one corner tide to his side bar would of slid across the sand easily, keep one in my trailer it works good, I've never had to use it but I've let other people it's a lifesaver.
We did not capture that crash. We were in route to Camp RZR when the other cars collided...However, we got some great aerial footage of Camp RZR (posted yesterday.)

Just a thought. Snowmobiles, the mountain sleds have wide skis so they dont sink. Make a bracket to attach to the ski a set the damaged corner on the bracket and strap it down. We kno skis and snowboards work on sand. I admit I'm Alaska and don't crap about dune life. But less drag would make the toy vehicles job easier.
i personally hate ford, but all you people saying you should have used a real truck dont know anything... their in sand, it doesnt matter how much power you have if you dont have the right tires!!
ben miller so worse tires work better >>>>drag radial or a slick how would that do okay ....so a paddle wouldnt do better .....HOW ABOUT RETHINK UR COMMENT TOOLBAG
head troll Uhm some of the best touring buggies actually use big old smooth aircraft tires. works great! You don't need paddles unless you are racing. Even then all the paddles are doing is throwing the sand which causes an equal and opposite reaction in the buggy. Just driving around on the sand the paddles are really annoying.
all these comments about getting stuck, he had a equipment failure, ive seen cars drag race on pavement snap axles and such, but they don't have to worry as much about grit getting past a seal, and why does it always turn into a chevy vs ford thing, run a chevy or ford hard ive seen plenty of blazers and broncos jeeps, toyotas, etc break too
In the sand it puts the weight far back so they get great traction with the big sand tires. The big paddle tires even give them a thrust effect in that the sand they throw out behind them propels them forward. They can lift the front end off the ground & fly over the sand. They can also brake the rear wheels independently to help steer when the front wheels are in the air (like a tank) or just to turn & cut real fast. They are designed from the ground up to perform in the sand dunes & they are insanely fast.
tpcrb distribution of weight is NOT correct…it just makes them fun to drive. front engine is bad cause it makes the front end spin around on you. true. but i still think the mid engine cars are better at pretty much everything than the rear engine cars.
so they wheelie. the real reason is because these cars are based off volkswagen beetles, they all use the same style of transaxle. Though these days they run aftermarket boxes, not the old bus stuff. But its still the same style. There are plenty of mid engine sand cars out there, and they generally handle better and go faster. they just don't wheelie as easy so people call them slow. {wrong}
its funny how the camera zooms in on the ford truck. the ford truck did not pull the buggy out by itself, the truck had to get help from another buggy because the truck kept getting bogged down, even in 4 wheel drive. It was probably because the ford had the wrong tires for sand, but the ford sucks.
Chris James I've only driven mine twice, in the park. Even with a tuned pipe, it's not that fast, because i'm used to brushless. But, it does have insane amounts of grip, and sounds. It's my favourite car by a mile
Im sorry but those buckshots are junk. Well promoted piece of crap. Rear suspension design is crap, cheaply built. Interesting super manx sort of body, but man. The cars are just big shit piles.
cartman350 Gotta agree with cartman350 and nooki1102 I have a dodge Dakota and my transmission is going out, front driveshafts are making loud grinding noises, wont shift into 4wd and rear end slips some times. And ford is as good as they came I have a ford esctort that's still running over 200,000 miles on stock engine and components not to mention the clutch is still original nothings been changed on the car so your argument is invalid Ben Sullivan.
cartman350 ??? As opposed to fords automatic transmissions ? Might want to talk to a shop. Dakota's unless they are the 5.9 SLT models suck because they use V6 crap that wasn't intended for heavy duty use. Dakotas in the V6 lineup were marketed for people who could not afford a real truck. Just like ford rangers and chevy S10's Nobody ever compares a Dakota to those though. You know why..... Even as classless as a dakota is... it still out classes those other two by heaps. As for real trucks....... My Ram has pulled out more fords than I care to count. I have towed more chevy silverados with blown 4L80E transmissions than I can count on both hands. And yet somehow you are able to manage that Dodges all somehow have bad transmissions, drive shafts and rear ends ? Please elaborate on exactly which parts in these groups fail because I have had my truck for 12 years and beat on it since day 1. Outside of replacing the harmonic balancer and intake manifold (intake issue is well documented and a cheap fix) and a junk dash (I glassed a new one in way better now..) I haven't had any real mechanical issues with my truck. In my shop yard I have: 2003 silverado 6.0 112k miles (blown trans, chewed up tcase) 2012 Ford F-150 eco turd 34k miles (blown motor, waiting for dealership to replace) 1989 Bronco 5.0 178k miles (Blown transmssion, this is the 5th AODE that has been put in it. Going for a C6 swap) 1997 Ford expedition 5.4 Triton 117k (Blown transmission, 2 previous transmissions in this vehicle, and a rear end, and heads thanks to the timing chain guides failing at just over 100k miles.) 2007 Ford fusion 51k miles (This car has had three transmissions previous but now the engine seized due to vibrations from the last failed transmission) 2007 Chevy Duramax diesel 74k miles (Allison transmission failed after a crimp failed on a factory hose and this thing dumped all of it's ATF out on the freeway. This happened previously but the stealership replaced the known bad part with a similar junk part. I have made a new line out of steel braided PTFE and AN fittings.) 1999 Ford Ranger 90k miles (7 inch rear end exploded on gravel road. Spider pin sheared off and hit the axle housing. getting an 8.8 in to solve this issue.) There are only two things Ford ever got right. EVER. The C6 transmission and the 9 inch rear end. Any other car that had Fords name on it that wasn't a huge piece was always some aftermarket job. General Motors has been plagued by bad transmissions and transfer cases since the release of the 700R4. The 4L60 (not E) was the upgraded version and fared better in the short run, but now that the early 90's cars that came with them are rolling over 150k miles they are failing left and right. I have a TH400HD in a 75 chevy that has NEVER been rebuilt and still breaks the tires loose getting into second gear. The 4L60E is fail, so is it's big brother the 4L80E. Neither of those are worth 2 cents without serious aftermarket upgrades to fix common issues that the factory knew about but failed to acknowledge. My dodge RAM came with the notorious 46RE. All of my friends warned me this transmission would fail. Here we are over 100k miles later. I have been running 33 inch tires without any modifications to the drivetrain and I can still pin it to win it without worrying it will give up the ghost. Shifts hard and crisp and never gets hot even when I tow my 35 foot sea boat. The reason my transmission lasted this long? Because Dodge actually acknowledged they had issues with previous years transmissions and they addressed those issues with revised hard parts. The dealership even made sure to bypass the one way fluid valve in my truck because the factory had already put it on before the part was deemed a trouble item. Yes the dealership took the time to check my truck over and make sure it was a solid runner before they delivered it to me. There was a known issue with the corporate rear axle posi clutch pack in my truck. I pulled the diff cover to see if I would be affected and guess what. I already had updated parts. Ford knew since 1988 that the AODE was a P.O.S that was destined to fail because it was a bad egg even before they converted the Rotten AOD over to electronic control. Did they EVER, EVEN ONCE revise any hard parts in that tranny? Nope. Yet Dodge drivelines suck...... Yes sir, you seem to know a lot more than a certified master mechanic. You should drop by your local AAMCO and check out what kind of vehicles are in the parking lot. You'll be amazed. Yep Dodge must be junk..........
Bobby D The fact that I've seen multiple Dodge than any other vehicles on the emergency lane with a snapped drive shaft. I even seen several snap off while driving. Also seen where multiple Dodge vehicle destroyed their rear ends. Plus I hear from people who owned a Mopar vehicle even said they had issues with their transmissions. SO that's why I know they are crap.
they should have towed from the rear...get that rear end up, dude fucked up his a arms soooo bad...new suspension time lol...thats only 25.000 -50.000$ in repairs...expensive hobby... dirtbikes rule...less issues
Uh no. He sheared the spindle off. At most this will cost him a spindle, some bushings, new studs (or tap set), and maybe a new CV boot. If there's an Autozone around, he could have it repaired by that night for less than 300 dollars.
![BABYMONSTER - 'DRIP' M/V REACTION [WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!!!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/t0Lpgr1jo3Y/mqdefault.jpg)
You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel.
Now THAT'S pretty damn funny!
Dave Blancett funny perhaps but I do not believe it was loose before the axle sheared off.
Glad it wasn't a loose-seal.
Where did that wheel go ? I hate when this happens ! Lug nuts were not torqued ?
How did this shut down glamis? there were plenty of people screaming past the whole time??
the car is all back together. will be out for thanksgiving. we changed the look all new rims since the accident. the DWT rims that I had on it broke at the weld. so one piece rims now.
The legend to be told is that he is still pulling him today
This guy would been amazed what 3'x3' piece of plywood with 2'' hole in one corner tide to his side bar would of slid across the sand easily, keep one in my trailer it works good, I've never had to use it but I've let other people it's a lifesaver.
Why not just lift the rear and tow it that way so the driver can just sit and steer.
it doesn't sound like it shut down anything
Cant ratchet strap it up and use something smooth like a piece of wood to slide it?
We did not capture that crash. We were in route to Camp RZR when the other cars collided...However, we got some great aerial footage of Camp RZR (posted yesterday.)
I hope that Sand rail is getting fix but it's beast
im out in jersey , wish i lived out there , have fun guys and be safe

When does the spin out happen im waiting.
Every comment on youtube is either black vs white or ford vs chevy. I'm white and I like chevy, lol
+brandy sigmon nope......LANDCRUISER cause everything else SUCK'S.
Chevy = Cheap Heavy Equipment Victimizing Youth (ignorant youth LOL)
Mech Nizer nah, jeeps all the way, well willys, CJs, YJ, TJ, and JK. Every other jeep sucks.

in that sand , tires dont count when you have a 8K lb truck sinking in as it sits there , let alone moving

Hegdgf
Hkutyh
J BomBer lol tires always count in sand. Its all about the tires in fact. In fact its the single most important equation in sand.
head troll Uhm some of the best touring buggies actually use big old smooth aircraft tires. works great! You don't need paddles unless you are racing. Even then all the paddles are doing is throwing the sand which causes an equal and opposite reaction in the buggy. Just driving around on the sand the paddles are really annoying.
you have to love TH-cam there is actually a comment below where the guy is saying they towed the car wrong and how they should have done it...LOL
***** LLLOOOOLLL
id lol of a guy said its the driver's fault that the wheel popped off.
Lol
why didnt yall just put some type of skid underneath the hub like a board or something so it would drag easier, or you coulda just used a dodge
The make of the towing vehicle wouldn't matter in this case, seeing as you would get the same amount of traction in sand fuckhead.
I apologize about that (montygram) My buddy got on my account, looks like. I will inform him on being a fuckhead though, as this is very correct! LOL
oh well time to build it up stronger and better.
Dennis Anderson would have drove it out!
all these comments about getting stuck, he had a equipment failure, ive seen cars drag race on pavement snap axles and such, but they don't have to worry as much about grit getting past a seal, and why does it always turn into a chevy vs ford thing, run a chevy or ford hard ive seen plenty of blazers and broncos jeeps, toyotas, etc break too
I remember seeing that happen. took 2 4x4's to tow it out!
I'm headin out tommorow morning first time it looks like fun
What happen to that car?
Thats Mike who used to own Sweet Maries ...he sure has a beauty...have no fear that Bad mutha %@$#8 will be back in a week. see ya there! The Jester
Man! His rail is ridiculous!
That's my rail
Excellent Rescue !
That has happened to me before and it sucks
Are you wheelie leaving me????!!!!
Lol
they might have got out a hell of a lot quicker with a real truck like a chevy pulling!
real truck...
chevy...
Pick one, dude.
cat skinner let's be honest. People that argue about truck brands on the internet are douche bags. End of story.
ccplacrosse11 not true. I put my opinion out there to save people from buying a ford and having all the problems that come with them.
cat skinner
yea i bet that front end 4x4 would hold up real well , those twig cv's would end up just like that sandrails cv
pretty sure that there was a jeep pulling that ford so just cool it.
Lift up the rear and tow it that way so the driver can steer.
No video of the buggy doing a wheelie and slamming into a predator? It was the same day
I was in the group with the car that got hit in the back by the other rail doing a wheelie
Why does everyone do it the hard way? Put the strap on the rear control arm of the rail so that it lifts it out of the sand instead of dragging it
I came here asking "wtf is a sandrail?"
like ford tough?
Why have the engine in the back?
Superb traction in 2WD and more correct weight distribution.
In the sand it puts the weight far back so they get great traction with the big sand tires. The big paddle tires even give them a thrust effect in that the sand they throw out behind them propels them forward. They can lift the front end off the ground & fly over the sand.

You forgot the other crash
This place kicks *zz!!
i want a sand rail
I have one.
hell yeah playing dark clouds by swollen members!
Nice
I was there when the crash happend!
Exellent
its funny how the camera zooms in on the ford truck. the ford truck did not pull the buggy out by itself, the truck had to get help from another buggy because the truck kept getting bogged down, even in 4 wheel drive. It was probably because the ford had the wrong tires for sand, but the ford sucks.
Your stupid
+Zack Tetreault I'm a chevy guy, but what you said... was dumb as shit.
Never tie your recovery strap to the hitch ball! Extremely dangerous! Use a bow shackle.
i know the owner of the sandrail its badass but it sucked when that happend
wow thease cars are very sexy!
Losi 5T. Brother!!!
yes so mutch fun, great to race !
Chris James I've only driven mine twice, in the park. Even with a tuned pipe, it's not that fast, because i'm used to brushless. But, it does have insane amounts of grip, and sounds. It's my favourite car by a mile
yr well it is a very good car & can be fast, but it will take a lot of hard use, will go over anything so fun, have you got a vid of your 5T?
nice video to bad it broke
COMO. asen los. Guilis. También Perroni los carros. Que tiene. un. motorsote
Tow it backwards!!
Im sorry but those buckshots are junk. Well promoted piece of crap. Rear suspension design is crap, cheaply built. Interesting super manx sort of body, but man. The cars are just big shit piles.
It wasnt the rear suspension the failed him
Isaac Hepworth Its typically a failure between the ears that causes this sort of thing to happen. But that car is still a turd.
Never let a ford pull. Or it will end up like that buggy. Dodge> ford
why because the power will pull your car in half haha ok good call thanks
I dunno about that. Dodge are notorious for having drivetrain issues whatever it may be their transmissions, drive shafts, or rear ends.
cartman350 Gotta agree with cartman350 and nooki1102 I have a dodge Dakota and my transmission is going out, front driveshafts are making loud grinding noises, wont shift into 4wd and rear end slips some times.

it took so long cause tht pos ford couldn't do it by it's self
Super Chevy typical Chevy lover. I put money on you could even move it either. it's all about the tire on sand. learn before u criticize
ford can't dodge can
