There are plenty of amazing car channels out there with insanely good builds; supercars, $100k+ custom race cars or offroad buggies... they are great and all, but nothing will ever be as entertaining as a Garage54 modifying a lada with some crazy contraption.
Power wagon races where the only power is provided by the trailer that has to be controlled by a passenger while the driver of the car/truck only controls the steering and brakes!
You made my day!!! I’ve thought about many silly projects in my life, but I’ve never thought of a self driven trailer equipped with it own 6cylinder engine. You made me so happy while watching your video!!!
That trailer is awesome!!!! Hey you can market as a EV car accessory for places where charging stations are too far appart😅 gotta do more videos with this trailer
I was thinking the opposite, an electric trailer. You could squeeze some electric motors under say a caravan, where as a big chunky ICE would never go, plus a battery pack would be very useful otherwise in a caravan. the batteries could charge in any downhill runs etc.
It's obvious who would win. Heaver trailer plus the car would be using rear wheel drive pulling itself. This would be a useless waste of time because simple physics say otherwise.
@SuperFGeeT , I think the Lada would win because most of the trailer weight is on the tongue transferring to the rear wheels of the Lada and minimal weight on the trailer wheels.
You guys never disappoint. I was totally happy with the first video, but a part of me wanted to know what it would do off road with a welded diff. And here it is:) you're the real ones
Loved the video! Great job! In the next video, you should make the trailer a fully functional trailer! Haul things with it, weld a hitch to the back of the trailer to tow a car trailer. For those junk yard projects that require you to drive a long ways. 🎉
I think you just started a trend ... The world drift trailer series . lol About ten seconds before the tire let go I said this will soon happen . lol Great series guys .
Such a cool video I love the drifting and I believe this could actually become a new form of racing a car with nothing in it but a working suspension and working brake system and then a trailer with an overpowered engine that would be cool to see 20 to 30 cars like that flying around a racetrack
The setup you got there is similiar to that in articulated buses. Most of them have the engine in the last section, and the last axle is the driven one. That's why every such bus have a double wheel axle not only at the very back, but at the rear of the first section also, although this one is not driven. But if there were only a single wheel on each side, the back of the bus would want to push the first section out on every turn, as the grip would be insufficient. That still sometimes happens, especially in wintertime, when there's snow or ice on the road. A bit too much gas on a turn and the bus jackknifes. If it does and the angle gets too narrow, there is no way to straighten it up. Passengers have to get out and the bus driver waits there in the middle of the road for an assistance truck, that hooks up to the front of the bus and pulls on it. Only then it will straighten up.
Ikarus made articulated busses with the engine in the middle - and also made the rear axle steerable. You make a turn in a single lane. Today Hungary is left on relying on Chinese investments for its automotive industry, as there's almost nothing left of this record holding manufacturer any more.
Hi friend. I know Ikarus very well, we had tons of them in Poland. I also remember their steerable rear most axle and the wobbliness it caused to the last section. I never wanted to ride there, as I it was making me so sick I was about to vomit 😂 In Poland we manufacture Solaris buses, but there are more and more chinese parts in them also. Not long ago we had Jelcz buses and trucks, but the company was sold out and Mercedes or MAN bought it.
man they need to start making these, for anyone with like a 2wd truck that still wants to go off-roading/camping, this would allow that. and also carry some additional load also, but can be removed when not needed.. i can really see these being sold somewhere. or rented, even like you did with cars, just need a good hitch. c00l idea!
Imagine getting stuck, and then attaching a trailer to get you out... Cool stuff Would be cool to see a more purpose built version of this thing, maybe an electric version, and some space to put stuff lol, but realistically seems incredibly useful.
If it had hydraulic cylinders on both sides of tongue to prevent it from jackknifing it would act like a twin engine scraper. It would be like an old school Caterpillar scrape.
Hello garage54, I have a suggestion. Can you please make a transparent casing for a wet clutch gearbox if you have not already I would like to see how they operate
This is actually a concept what is already used for a long time by the farmers. They have powered trailers behind their tractors for not getting stuck. At least over here in Europe, but I know we are 15 years in advance with a lot of other countries :D
Wonder how it would work with 4x4 truck and open diff and a manual locker on the trailer . I and we love to see more what you guys can accomplish variety of trailer models. It’s something u don’t see everyday… it’s awesome
for overlanding ofroad expeditions I could see trailers with electric motors being pretty helpful actually.... A bit of electronics to cut off power to one wheel when jackknifing - could be done with an rc gyro- and it would be a perfect little helper....
Sooooo glad to see this again haha. I wanted to say id love to see it pull up to give someone a race that didn't know about the second motor lol edit> The off roading was awesome hahaha
Indeed! However those have double wheel axle at the middle to provide extra grip. However in winter you still can jackknife them. As that can be reversed only by pulling the bus at the front, it's almost impossible to straighten it up without help.
the buses have a computer control system and two hydraulic cylinders to control the articulation. my dad was a sf (muni) bus mechanic and told me a story of the articulation computer losing its mind during a test drive on a bus that was throwing nonsensical articulation codes. As my dad was driving the bus down the windy section of 101 near the mission district the bus suddenly jackknifed and completely lost control and spun out on the freeway. the bus and my dad were very lucky to not get hurt.
This is what a articulated bus kinda does. Propulsion in de trailer and not the bus, it can drift if you push the throttle at the right moment in the corners :D
This would be a good addition to any off-road trailer. Do it with electric and have dual or turning controls. Like turning brakes if you know what I mean
If they solid mount the trailers suspension for the axle, it will prevent the drive shaft from movement up/down and in and out of the transmission thus preventing it from grenading. A short driveshaft with that much axle movement equals a short life for involved components.
Trailer drifting...
Hillclimbing with a trailer...

I ❤ Lada! Tee Shirts, coming soon. 2025
The trailer has more horsepower than the Lada. Lol
Haa you are correct sir
You ain't lying man
This isn't the full video - it's just the trailer.
They sure are dragging it out a bit. 😂
👏👏👏
This is not the greatest video in the world, no, this is just a trailer.
(Muted Trumpet) Wha, Wha, Wha, Whaaa!! I LOVE It!! ❤👍
😂🤣😂🤣😂
every tesla owner needs one!
To push the car and charge the battery at the same time 😆
😂
exactly, to compensate the CO2 they saved
@@wanchiz no, to push the car when the batteries die , no one cares about co2. THAT is B S.
🤣
This is 107 percent pure fun if anything is. you guys never disappoint us with the videos. perfect.
Thats a whole new sport right there. Imagine how many people would want a powered trailer or caravan!

@@paulstubbs7678this is being done with HGVs, just the energy recovered from braking is enough to run refrigeration apparently
TUG OF WAR. TRAILER IN REVERSE AND LADA IN DRIVE !!!
Exactly my thoughts
It's obvious who would win. Heaver trailer plus the car would be using rear wheel drive pulling itself. This would be a useless waste of time because simple physics say otherwise.
Thats the point of channel try everything thet doesnt make sense
You can't put a Lada in drive as they're not automatic ☺️
@SuperFGeeT , I think the Lada would win because most of the trailer weight is on the tongue transferring to the rear wheels of the Lada and minimal weight on the trailer wheels.
POwered trailer drift.... Australia you got homework to do!

14:28 that trailer drifting was pretty cool
Never in my life did i think i would ever see a trailer drift.
You really made that 1JZ proud with the drifting.
Bravo drugari.Odlican eksperiment.Pravo uzivanje je gledati vas.Pozdrav iz Srbije.
Now this video looks like it was a blast to take part in, lots of fun!🎉
That's just insane ! Instant hall of fame Garage 54 video
You guys are great. All the work that goes into these videos awesome.
Yes, 107% success.
Ya! That's theirs! (107%) Very successful. (I know, redundant). 😉
@@jlucasound I taught for many years. It's not redundant - it's emphasizing.
I’m so glad you guys revisited the 200 hp trailer test!
Wow in the intro you went all out with this thing !! 0:23
That’s the sweetest tarp covered trailer of mankind
The cart before the horse. This brings that phrase into life.
You could surprise someone in a fast car.
Take off and leave or keep up with them while pulling a trailer in a Lada.
OMG you guys at Garage 54 are genius

In the Netherlands all articulated busses have the drive on the rear axle of the front part.

This idea would be interesting to see as a drift race with many contenders. Circle track even Figure 8.
Cool! Now put the 1JZ into the Lada, add 4wd and large tires and see how it can handle the muddy terrain!
1:45 smart upgrades on that prop shaft!!! 👍
Solid!
Top KEK!
Peace be with you.
This is actually funny asf
You should do an electric version. Trailer battery and motor to turn any Lada into a hybrid... it would help the environment by 107% lol😂
wow... ok thats super sick guys.... NOW- you have my attention xD
The people of America don’t want war. I imagine the same is true in Russia.
John Lennon had a song, Make Love, Not War.
I prefer to do both.@@Colorado_Native
@@Markcain268 Great point, and I am retired USAF. I should have thought the same thing.
@Colorado_Native it's from the film, men in black 3, said to some hippies by Boris the animal.
I hope those guys won't end up at the Ukrainian frontline one day and meet their fate there. Today no man can be sure about his future in Russia.
That was pretty cool! I tough i've seen everything but i have to admit, never saw Trailer Drift hehe.
Tandem axle would be a game changer for this build
Best garage 54 vid ever🤠
I'm not gonna lie, this looks like so much fun.
Imagine getting stuck, and then attaching a trailer to get you out... Cool stuff

The air intake located right behind the radiator and just above the exhaust is a real performance killer.
This will be the next trailer drifting competetion..❤❤❤ i love it...!!!
G'day Garage54 & BMI,
12:42 it's a Ladota Pushme-Pullyou😂
this is wild as hell but genuinely a great idea and thesis for a topic or idea!
The best powerful trailer ever see.....good idea❤
that trailer drifting was sick
Finally a way to play tug-of-war with your own trailer
Hello garage54, I have a suggestion. Can you please make a transparent casing for a wet clutch gearbox if you have not already I would like to see how they operate

No había visto pero hasta el fin hicieron realidad el comentario que habías escrito hace muchos meses atrás. Un remolque con motor.

Ok, just discovered the channel, did watch 3 or 4 videos, then.....subscibed !
Is this what driving an articulated bus is like?
Indeed! However those have double wheel axle at the middle to provide extra grip. However in winter you still can jackknife them. As that can be reversed only by pulling the bus at the front, it's almost impossible to straighten it up without help.

107% Success! Probably feels safe and controlled like falling down a mountain inside a sleeping bag! 😂
Bring them to America
I'm sure they'll like that!
They should do drifting with trailers. You just made the new sport.
Awesome! Always love your videos, guys!!!!
' The Fast and The Furious 15, Trailer Drift! ' 😂😂😂
The fast and the what the??
Round of applause for the camera man at 14:42 embracing the camera man rule.
This was an awesome video ❤❤❤❤❤
Since the car is your steering wheel for drifting the trailer - your steering angle is beyond 90° - and that's just nuts!
Needs a hydraulic cylinder on the hitch to adjust the angle to steer in sticky situations, which can be disengaged when driving normally.
This counts as Part Time Performance Mods. When you want to go fast, you hook up the Trailer
Awesome did what I wanted to see, off road use too!
I'd like to see the trailer with an electric motor. Fun video as always.
Trailer Drift! A first in the world!
You guy’s just made new Lada niva 4x4!👌😂👍
Donuts with a trailer...IT'S NUTS!
Crazy guys doing crazy shit - love it 😂😂👍
that was fantastic!
The only automotive youtube channel that can drift a trailer.. LOL
15:48 can see the belts on tire sparking like crazy!
Two really strong trailer arms. To prevent much turn
@ 5:00 they were going for the full Michael Bay action and suspense treatment with the puddle shot and the Lada.
One word Sunday. Awesome😀
That's one way to groom the trail!
Would it be any better of a couple of springs were welded to the back of the Lada to act as an anti jack-knife system?
Has tobe a world's 1st top job lads
This would be a good addition to any off-road trailer. Do it with electric and have dual or turning controls. Like turning brakes if you know what I mean
Wow that is one hell of a drifting trailer😢😅😊😂😅
That station wagon lada is soo cool
Now we need to see the offset center wheels on the burnout trailer 🤣
If they solid mount the trailers suspension for the axle, it will prevent the drive shaft from movement up/down and in and out of the transmission thus preventing it from grenading. A short driveshaft with that much axle movement equals a short life for involved components.
Go IRS, best of both worlds.
This is a great idea...a front wheel drive car would be much better for this set up
I'd love to see LaTrailer hooked up to that Escalade. That would be exciting. ...and Vlad, get a HELMET. 🤯
Trailer on tracks? And maybe a three point hitch connection? Stabilizer bars with shocks?
That puppy needs a turbo.
At least one 😁
Amigo parabéns pelo que você fez, com certeza vai incentivar muitos esse projeto, eu sou um aqui do Brasil, obrigado Deus ililumine sua cabeça sempre.
