It turns out that not everyone considers barbecue, beer and picnic the best summer vacation. There are those who are resting, chasing off -road and ditches on SUVs. Trophi-Rida is a non-trivial and spectacular pastime, but being his participant is much more interesting. This is an opportunity to visit various corners of the country and chat with interesting people who are sick with SUVs and can tell hundreds of stories associated with it.
Troph-Rada on Toyota Hilux
Overcoming a multi -kilometer raid fell on the Toyota Hilux pickup. Despite the fact that the equipment of the car was unremarkable, her cross -country ability turned out to be excellent. Full-wheel drive, three-liter engine, 8-band automatic transmission, reinforced frame, powerful suspension. There were shortcomings too. The main of them: lack of blocking between the wheel differential of the rear wheels and hanging lateral thresholds that reduce the angle of longitudinal patency, the base of more than 3 meters. Nissan x trail gas tanks have a very rather big capacity in themselves. On the highway, a two -ton pickup is not very bad: at a speed of 140 km/h, neither sailing nor scrolling interfere with him. But the most important thing: he is not scared by the wretchedness of Russian roads. The roadway to the place of the raid was partly hidden by the spring flood, and any movement to the side threatened to fall into a roadside ditch. Despite this, Hailax brought the raiders to the place intact and safety.
Hunting for wolves
The meaning of the trophy – the raid “Hunting for wolves” in the presence of “wolves” – quadaclists who appear in strictly defined sections of the route for several minutes. The capture of the wolf adds a significant number of points. It is in this plan that it becomes clear how much the crew is coordinated with each other, and how well he knows the capabilities of the machine. A couple of kilometers from the start, the asphalt went into a primer gaping with different -caliber pits. Hailaks drove over them without tension; After all, the main thing is in such a ride: a high clearance and a mental suspension move, which the pickup has more than enough. It happened that the car simply went into flight, and when landing at the suspension, the suspension was completely selected, but even then the shock absorbers did not close. The field road ended and its “forest part” began. Here, the crew felt that Hailaks has not only advantages, but also disadvantages. And the main minus is large dimensions. Write out a “snake” among trees by car from above 5 meters not from hand. Bottom line: complete replacement of the front bumper and polishing the body.
