    I once (many years ago) had one of the Dakar Tatras pass me on a highway near Olomouc. It was going about 140kph (85mph) in the left lane, its tires were taller than the Skoda I was in and the noise was deafening.

      Similiar thing happened to my father quite recently when he was going to/from work with my mother, he was overtaking someone on a highway around Prague and suddenly saw a truck coming fast in the mirrors, he said something like ''what a moron would drive a truck so fast?'', finished his move and moved to the right lane and the truck just zoomed past him, when he saw the truck with sponsor decals and stuff, he realised what happened :D

And the sounds were unforgettable 💚 much love from Argentina

      @Pyrochemik007 Рік тому +16

      Not as much as you think, since it is here since beginnings of Tatra as a company. All wheels move separately up and down, but they are connected with air pressure, so they "feel" each other. If one goes up, other push harder against road. That makes the truck fly over bumps, allowing smooth workday and fuel saving for regular trucks. It may seem like nothing much, but when offroading, the deffirence is staggering, you can travel twice as fast as other trucks on muddy, bumpy paths.

Where there are bump or hills i would brake, they stepped on the gas pedal even more. Afterwards one of the mechanics said, the drivers broke more in one day, then in 3 weeks of Dakar.😂

    its the setting of the chassis. its all about positive and negative camber between front axle and rear axle. if you look at the Truck, the rear tyres was set to negative camber (like a roof ) and the front tyres like a V when its accelerating, but if it bracks the front tyres changes from positive to negative camber. that helps the truck to have a good mix of stability and fast cornering. even Springs and shocks and stabilizers have a important point in the setup.

    • @KAWoTReplays
      @KAWoTReplays Рік тому +3

      That positive and negative camber is due to suspension and chassis Tatra uses. Not because its set up like that. Thats just independent suspension. The truck is also built for Rallye Dakar, its not supposed to compete in hill climbs on a paved roads, this was just demo.

    Biiig appreciation that there are huge admirers of our Czechoslovakian TATRA even in the US! Tatra is highly underrated in the world, but I can tell you these beasts from the assembly line cost more than MAN, VOLVO, MERCEDES, etc trucks...so it has something to it and I tell you what it is. It is the unique patent created by Tatra, which is half-axle suspension. Each Wheel has his own half axle and they are moving independently from each other, thus all separate wheels can accomodate to the changing of surfaces, e.g. uneven surfaces. GO TATRAAAA!

    I have never seen one of these Tatras in the flesh, but they are awesome rally trucks, built for the Dakar rally. The powerslides in this video are freaking.
    I have however seen the DAF trucks of late Jan de Rooy, he was the first to build a truck like this for Dakar back in 1984. this one was double ended like a locomotive and had also 2 engines.
    The later generations had one cab but retained the twin engine layout, the 1988 X1 had 1220hp and a top speed of 135mph, it was indeed faster than the first car in some of the stages.
    In 1988 after a deadly accident killing Kees van Loevezijn, the navigator in the second truck, DAF withdrew from the rallysport.
    Jan however competed again from 2002 to 2009 with Ginaf, which is a small specialty vehicles manufacturer of the Netherlands using of the shelf DAF cabs and several brands of engines, but building their own chassis.
    Sadly Jan died on January 30, 2024, but will be remembered as one of the most successful motorsports drivers of the Netherlands, winning many Dakar rallies in the truck category.

    if not I'll write it here....!
    On a "normal" working day as a delivery driver in Aachen/Germany, I met another driver who asked me the way to the Autobahn, and I noticed all the "sponsor stickers" and I asked if it was a "team truck" and the driver said " No , that's one of 3 racing trucks and he opened the door, what I saw was a roll cage frame that was at least 4" thick in the driver's cab. I then only asked how much HP the truck had and got the answer " 1300 HP " ... I'll do it short because the story lasts longer but so much for the end .... I showed the driver the way and on the ramp, and he with his truck with a 30 ton trailer overtook the cars in the left lane at an estimated 140 km/h aka ca. 90 mpH

    I think you will like this video as well here on YT, it's called: "This 1988 Six-Turbo Truck Was Too Powerful For The Dakar Rally"

    Something of that size being that agile is kinda scary.

    Hey IWrocker when you are so enthustiatic about these Tatra trucks you should probably have a look at the KAMAZ Dakar truck at Festival of speed! I think this will beat the Tatra truck.
    By the way an awesome monster this Tatra truck but have a look!
    All the best from Austria 🇦🇹🤠👍😎
