Drift More Trucks.-November 2024

Image for article titled Drift More Trucks.

Drift them. Do it. I dare you.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to do as well as the wild crew at (the madmen behind the and mashup) and their thousand horsepower KAMAZ drift machine.

My Russian isn’t great, so I don’t have a real grip on the details of the fabrication project that gave us this monstrous three-axle drift monster. The video below has some good footage of what it took to restore this truck, which appears to be a KAMAZ 5320, and turn it into a 1000 horsepower drifter, and the whole story is available on a playlist .

From what I can tell, the most important modifications (other than the significant power bump) this truck received are to the rear differentials. is one of the easiest ways to increase oversteer, which is exactly what you want in a drift car (or truck) but it wasn’t clear at first whether the technique would work with two drive axles.

As you can see, it DID work. It worked real well. And I think it’s important to learn the real lesson here. Drift more trucks.

Surprisingly Slick New Trafic Van Joins Renault's Wacky Cargo Lineup
Surprisingly Slick New Trafic Van Joins Renault's Wacky Cargo Lineup
Renault raised a few eyebrows with its single-passenger microvan last year, but just proved they can still build a hauler that's sleek and useful with the redesigned Trafic. Yes, the second "f" is intentionally absent (that would be "traffic" in francias) and I really do think this is one of...
