This old car was good enough only for one thing – to be remelted.
But then it was incredibly lucky to become a base of a new project.
The project that tells us how to turn an old rubbish car into a real Bigfoot!
Are you interested?
Then stay with us, we are to start right now!
Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
Probably you see the cheapest big foot ever been built.
Its owner deliberately tried to make a real Bigfoot for very little money.
The base here is an old ussr car that was bought for the project just for 300 baks.
And just look at it…how cool it is now.
By the way…
yes it is old and cheap car, but it used to be a very comfortable model.
So our Bigfoot not only the cheapest but probably the most comfortable.
Big, luxurious seats, a good heater…Well I think today we will test this car being
in a real comfort unlike numerous other atvs we tested on this channel.
Bust firstly lets dive a little bit deeper in the construction and technical details.
The base here is a modified frame from an old 4wd car.
It was slightly lengthened.
The axles are also from the same 4wd car.
There are two transfer cases that provide a very powerful torque, that is essential
for the huge wheels.
The engine is stock 2.4 liters capacity and this unit proved to be rather reliable.
Many things were done with the steering system.
To handle with the huge wheels the real hydraulic steering was implemented here.
There is a hydraulic pump and cylinder from a truck.
The wheels are also from a truck but they were seriously modified.
Most part of the rubber was simply cut off.
The rear part also was modified and now it is like a real truck.
The interior remained the same and as I said it is quite comfortable even in stock.
Well lets have a ride!
By the way the owner says that the whole budget of the project is only 3000 dollars.
Surprisingly the result is quite reliable.
The car went through many tests and proved to be rather durable and capable for offroading.
The main drawback to my mind is that you can't drive this thing on public roads anymore.
And the maximum speed now is only 50 km/hour.
In this way this car is used not like a showcar but like a tractor to help with numerous things
in a household.
Besides it turned out to be a good atv for hunting and fishing, it is able to go wherever
you want.
Theoretically it is even able to float, but frankly speaking we didn't enough courage
to test it.
But we tested how it went on offroad.
And it was quite good.
But I can't say it was a surprise.
Huge low pressure wheels and full wheel drive always do a lot of good.
The only thing that this car is lacking it's a central system of tire inflation.
Well now its my favorite part – let me try it myself.
Wow there is an engine start with a button…not bad!
To start moving choose the second gear, the first one is too slow even for offroad.
… As I've said the two transfer cases provide a very good torque, as if I drove
a diesel.
Besides I liked how the suspension worked.
It moves very smoothly even on a rough terrain due to the low pressure wheels and long travel
leaf suspension.
But on the other hand it swings quite seriously, like a boat on waves, it seems that the shocks
are out of order.
I was the most impressed by the steering.
The homemade hydraulic steering works perfectly!
You can turn the huge wheels literally with only a finger!
Well I should say this car produced a good impression on me, especially taking into account
a low price.
The comfortable interior, perfect steering, soft suspension – it is definitely worth
its money.
Well guys I think you agree with me, that such a car should be tested on a real offroad.
So we tried to do our best to find a decent obstacle.
Unfortunately there was only a huge field in the location, and it was quite a job to
find there something interesting.
I should mention, that frankly speaking it is quite easy to get this machine stuck.
It is rather heavy and it is hard for it to go in a swamp.
The only way to move there it is to do a very low pressure in wheels.
Finally we found something interesting.
A small river with a tiny bridge across it.
Firstly lets try how durable the bridge is.
…Boring… why do we need some bridges at all when we are driving such a car.
Lets go straight into the river!
Well at least we tried.
As you see it was no sweat for the car…so the same thing …boring.
Ok, the last try to put more action into this video.
We are going to cut our way straight through the woods.
Do not feel pity for the woods.
Either way they are going to be removed because this field is to be cultivated.
So lets do it!
This time it was rather funny, the car was cutting its way very impressive, but as you
can see the woods revenged and we got the broken mirror and lights.
Well what should I say after I tested this car.
Firstly I want to remind that the whole budget of the project is only about 3000 dollars.
And to my mind for these money it is quite a decent car, simple construction, impressive
offroading abilities, a comfortable interior and soft suspension, and to top it all – the
perfect hydraulic steering.
The flip side is – it cant be driven on public roads, dead shocks, the original car
and the used parts are very old so it is very hard to say, how long this car is going to
be alive.
And it is very interesting to read your opinions about this project, so please post a comment
if you liked it or not and why.
And now lets call it a day.
Thanks for watching guys, please consider subscribing the channel if you liked this
video.
It will be many more interesting materials here, good bye!
