Do you think this concept would succeed if built with modern technology?
Or old technology (picrel). They tried to reinvent the wheel (by devoluting the wheel) and it failed because of it. Regardless. the cruiser remains as my favourite vehicles regarding aesthetics.
>Racing slicks on a snow vehicle What the fuck were they thinking?!?
>>2009583Did it actually drive over the snow? > they spun freely and provided very little forward movement, sinking as much as 3 feet (0.91 m) into the snow.Guess not. I guess that even with those giant dump truck tires you end up with too high ground pressure and just sink in.Target is about 1 psi ground pressure.
>>2009676gotta go fast
They use ag tractors now. Google “South Pole overland traverse” pretty neat.
>>2009708Doesn't help they used tires built with less tread than a slip and slide.>>2009583Though they are superior on hard terrain, wheeled vehicles do notably poorly in snow, mud, and loose sand. Those are conditions where tracked vehicles shine. Purpose built snow vehicles are usually tracked and occasionally have skis (think snowmobiles, or like >>2009595).
If I had unlimited money, finding this thing on the ocean floor is one of the things I'd fund.
>>2009676They thought tread would just clog up with ice and snow immediately and turn the tires into slicks anyway. They might not have been wrong with the tire tech of the time anyway.
Modern technology < Old School Cool
>>2009583No, because it was fundamentally retardedA superior design that adresses its flaws has existed for half a century
>>2010767I mean the superior design is to just tow living modules with tractors. Which is what the US, French, Australians, New Zealanders, British etc. all do in Antarctica these days.
>>2010767>>2010773this is a certified nodwell moment

Rolligon low-pressure truck
>>2009583anyone make out what the words say between the wheel wells?
>>2010807These were taken out of service after one severed off actor Jeremy Renner's penis
>>2013897lmao
>>2013443
>>2013897>one severed off actor Jeremy Renner's penisGuess it was confirmed he is like ken down there, never could get a straight answer from /tv/
>>2009583I wonder if its still out there or if it fell into the ocean
