Hi,

Anyone see scrappy races just now?

Guess what car won in the end? Well what chassis anyway....

Yup!

And the sound of their dual v8 engines on full song ( And some ) was quite
astounding!

It was entertaining. I like the way that they bumped the stalled v8
off the running one. useful that!

I love the bit "now they've got the tricky job of finding the correct
replacement diff" showing two of them heading purposefully towards
another Rangie in the yard....

The 'competion' was pretty non existant though- I thought the buggy might
get further.

Yup, thats true. Actually I was disappointed with the circuit too - just a
duplicate of the hill climb in yorkshire really, thereby giving the chaos
crew a huge advantage

But the tartan starlats really messed up. They should have just hit the mud
at full throttle, they'd have got further definately!


 
The scary thing is a Series 1,2 or 3 with PTO would probably have won every
heat!
Good show though

If you asked me, thier failure was certain from the start. They just
didn't seem to have a clue, and looking at the way some of them were
carrying on seemed to confirm it. Particularly that bit with them
kicking the bodywork to remove it.

Hehehe. Mind you, that was such a shame, I'd have loved to get my
hands on that vehicle before they did that to it.

It would be good show still if the Chaos Crew could represent England
against Scotland, Wales and Nr Ireland in a UK Scrappy version.

It is hard to think of a better all round platform to build a vehicle
for that task.

But I guess it would be boring if everyone used a LR as a base vehicle.

Agreed, It's always more interesting when they do something mad/out of the
ordinary.
Makes me want to watch it more to see how they do.

Well to be fair - for just about all the tasks in hand, any 4x4 would have
been a huge advantage!

I thought it would have been good if they'd have finished off with a lap
around a track, that would have been interesting! Gawd knows what would
happen if you got the stretched mini sideways!

But bear in mind the rules state that you can't use a 4x4 as such.
Chaos Crew got around that by fitting two engines when required.

I agree though that starting with a good tough chassis/drive
chain/engine(s) onto which you add niceities like seats and body work
gives you an enormous advantage.

Pity Cops 'n Bodgers didn't keep the entire engine/drive chain from
the Dodge, bit blooming daft expecting the propshaft from a piddly
little estate handle the grunt from a big V8...

I thought they used the whole running gear from the Dodge so what happened
to the prop!!!!!!!!!!
Looked as though it was welded to the diff :-(((( but then I suppose that's
the Bodgers bit

Donno but in Ep 1 they clearly showed/explained that they only took
the engine and axle. Even if the shaft was to long you could shorten
it. Just cut a section out and end weld a close fitting tube over the
join, maybe even weld the ends together first and grind off so a
sleeve would fit.

Would that be road legal though? Another big plus for using the LR
chassis no stringent tests to pass...

I had a rear prop on the 110 like that, to make it 2" longer.
