I was thinking that too but couldn’t figure out how to make it work without being permanent because it would have to use differential breaking to turn and this Lads has a welded rear Diff haha. I was thinking of something you can drive up on to and attach the drive wheels to the rear car wheels.
try the same thing but make the cables run a continuous loop instead on just going reel to reel, and the pic was of a wheel winch system made for vehicles without a frame mounted electric or hydraulic winch
Was just about to suggest this, but with one modification - run the cable around each wheel twice before returning to the other wheel. The cable would feed and pull continuously, and the would be no slipping.

These guys come up with the craziest "what if's" ...the thing that got me to subscribe was the fact that THEY CAN FAIL, admit they failed and leave every moment of the failure in the show. They are humble and very entertaining. Refreshing considering the uber-polished and scripted shows dominating this content segment.
I think Vlad is a bit optimistic verbally most of the time, calling things "good" when they are clearly falling apart, but no matter what he is saying, it's obvious there's no video gymnastics. We see what the cameras saw. Sometimes it is potentially viable, other times it is a disaster. But always "as-was".
Old RWD ladas are laready over 1000€ despite the condition in Finland. Maybe you might find one for few hundred if you are lucky and seller does not know its value. Too many trade school kids have wrapped them around electric poles so numbers are diminishing etc. In Russia this seem to be their fate:D.
Great video! Try unlocking the diff as this is hindering the steering. Also make the cables in a continuous loop on each side. Wrap the cables around each wheel 3 or 4 times, this way you don’t run out of cable. Cable idler pulleys may also help keep the cables from binding on the body of the car when steering. I love how you guys think out of the box!
This is awesome! You could probably rig up a similar system with a chain, bolt-on sprockets, and a good guard to prevent things from entering the chain while in motion. No more stopping to change the cable. :) Love seeing these videos. Keep up the great work!
This might be an idea I'll try to be short. I) the wire needs to be a loop. ii) in the middle of the rim at uniform intervals weld a V piece of box steel, iii) the steel V needs to be able to catch and hold the loop, and release it. Maybe little triangle teeth, like pinking sheers might help. Otherwise a motorbike chain with a sprocket welded in the middle of every hub. It will need to be quite strong and the sprockets need to be a good size. The larger the sprocket the easier it'll be to drive, plus a simple tension system to stop slip.
@@oddballdynamics.9658 With great difficulty, it would be far from the 'finger guillotine' as the host here calls this. On the V system steering would be easier, especially if there are no teeth. Do you know about chain tension? On the power/drive side =tension, as it's under load. It's post power where the chain slacks. It's this slack can allow for steering and avoid the snap back seen at Like the guy above typed it's too much work. You'd need chain guides for the front wheel, a precise length of chain, correct tensioner placement and have the tension just right. The main goal is to reduce slip of a looped wire, I've thought of other silly ways one could do it but steering is the bane. It calls for slackness to aid steering. Sadly this increases the chances of reduced grip &/or becoming free from the hub.
Gunzee: good idea about the tensioner to take up the slack while turning. You could use leaf springs as tensioners. Chain guides with high sides. Steering would be slight but it would turn. Like Troy said you could use a belt. For guides you could use a rim and weld on a plate to make high sides
I improvised the winch function when getting stuck in mud once, by wrapping a tow cable around the front driveshaft on my 1978 Audi 100. It worked like a charm.
anyone know who makes or what brand the red gray and black jackets they're wearing? my friend from slovakia has the same exact one and he dont know who makes it or what brand it is
a friend of mine, around 12 years ago had a similar car with a supercharged engine in it, it was soooo sick, literally WICKED these guys are making me love this lada again
That's awesome that you made it a four wheel drive system with it. But what it what actually made for was a home made which device. You attach it to your power axle and attach the other end to something solid, while it wraps up it pulls you forward.
Who'd a thunk it! Clever idea but with some serious drawbacks. Tinker with a continuous loop wrapped a couple of times around each rim then coupled together...kinda like a tank tread.
You guys should try this again this winter except put a continuous cable loop around both wheels. Like, wrap it 4 or 5 times around the back wheel for friction, then to the front with 4 or 5 wraps, then connect it in a loop. It looked like you had some steering while the cables were tight, so you could steer a bit but never run out of cable. That would probably help the steering wheel jolt too.
Ima travel to Russia just to buy at least 10 Ladas and never ever worry about cars at all,🤣 this is the best way to promote a car brand. No need for fancy commercials. Just put a bunch of guys and let them put the car beyond its limits. Tell me this doesnt make want to buy a Lada. Hell already the name sounds sweet
You guy's are awesome 👍🏻 it always brightens my day when I watch your video's and get a good laugh or two from some of the idea's you come up with that I can't wait to try myself! Keep on keepin on my northern friends
@@calvinf9218 That's what the auto tensioner is for to allow some slack for turning and with chains on either wheel there shouldn't be much force counteracting steering. The steering angle might need to be limited though to avoid the chain slipping off the sprockets.
A couple shock absorbers on the steering linkage would recuse the steering wheel kickback ... but even in some conditions of normal off road driving it's a good practice to just keep your palms on the wheel
That's such a specialised solution for a problem. But yeah, if you really need 4WD, or a winch, and the only tools you have are a welder, a steel rope and a few spare rims - no worries! Apocalypse skills, right there! xD LOL
Really cool video, I was really shocked when it actually worked... They should have made a release system when the cable wound off from the front wheels. So that you don't get that jolt on the steering wheel..
I'd like to modify your idea. Wrap the cable around both tires front and back. About midway have a dual wire wheel guide that puts pressure on the lines keeping them tight. Imagine an 8. The center being dual pullies. Might need a bolt to pull them together. This would be continuous running
5th On the next one how about if you wrap cable around one rim and then go back to the back room wrap at one time and connect it to be a consistent loop
Reninds me of what I used to do with my toy trucks as a kid. I'd take a rubber band and loop it between the front and rear wheel on the same side and do the same on the other and then I'd have a 4WD. Or I'd put a rubber band around the front and rear axle and turn the front wheels and rely on the friction of the rubber band to turn the rear wheels like some crude AWD system.
So now let's improve it slightly. 1. Some kind of quick disconnect could be useful. Even smaller screws or some locks. This way whenever you get to the end of the cable, you just swap them diagonally (rear left to front right) and continue. 2. Safety cable release. This cable needs only some securing. Mostly it should prevent spin on the wheel but should fall off when you pull it the other way. This way when it's end, it will just fly off. 3. Improving previous idea, more joint points so you can more precisely fasten the cable and have less length difference on both sides preventing this violent steering wheel shake.
Next step, would be to operate a car, using an outboard motor(on a trailer), and electric motors on the wheels. Or use a drive shaft from the outboard motor, to turn the car wheels.
This looks great for getting unstuck in mud or sand or snow or whatever, and then on solid more surface to go again in 2wd, but not a permanent thing for trying to get 4wd on your 2wd vehicle.
I want to see the system that's on the car in the thumbnail! I friggin love these guys!!! I'd love to go to Russia and kick it with them for a day. Those dudes are hilarious!!! 🤣😂🤣😂👍
A belt so you can keep going would be awesome! OR. How about putting a 4x4 diff in the front, and connect front to rear with prop shaft, with a sprocket on the trans, and props shaft???????? Full-time awd!
would be cool to see this done with a locomotive style coupling rod instead of the cable system, should be more efficient, wouldn't have to wind and unwind a spool
I once saw a WWII Canadian truck that had capstans that sort of looked like a smaller wheel without a tire mounted to the front wheels (4x4) instead of a winch. Seemed to be a very simple way to get the truck out of trouble without the complications of a PTO driven winch. If I remember right, it was a cabover Ford. Saw so many trucks that day I can't remember exactly what make it was, but clearly remember the device.
It would be really cool to see this revisited with a centrifugal clutch and vbelt setup. Use a wider V upfront so the belt can't walk off of the pulley.
At least you tried, has me wandering if the car you were told about was used in short distances or, as you brought up, longer length of cable for greater distance. Also wander about making it gear/chain driven
Rule #1. You must drink vodka while you're cruising in your four-wheel drive Lada. so it doesn't hurt as bad when the steering wheel breaks your fingers.
Cables? Use industrial rubber belts! but give enough slack and track so they don't slip off. Easier said than done but I'm sure that can be figured out.
Where the safety is not the priority, life is full of fun.
Very true.
