Re: General discussion chat With something that big to be FWD I would think that it'd be spinning the front tires a lot. Plus I also think that the front tires would wear out really quickly.
Re: General discussion chat Engine contributes a huge amount of weight and is on the front wheels. Its not a racecar either.... Nor is there any reason for the front tyres to wear out quicker.
Re: General discussion chat Well, I know the Toronado (Same engine/transmission as the GMC) has problems with tires wearing out..
Re: General discussion chat tyre wear is not caused by "oh noes the engine connects to the front". Surely your same logic for fwd having severe front tyre wear then applies for rear drive have severe rear tyre wear. Tyre wear should be caused by abuse and a poor alignment.
Re: General discussion chat I've never driven it, but I'd imagine it'd be quite irritating to drive somewhere off road, like a camp site or something, especially if it rains. I'm sure you can't get anything even close to wheel spin on pavement, even when it rolled off the factory. The have an anemic big block in them, and are quite heavy for what they are.
Re: General discussion chat If it was wet mud and rear drive then surely it will spin the rear tyres. I'm still not seeing the logic here.
Re: General discussion chat It will spin its tires in mud and wet conditions regardless of whether it is RWD or FWD.
Re: General discussion chat Well yeah, it'll spin either way, but RWD would be more manageable in the mud. FWD is a bitch in mud.
Re: General discussion chat It depends on the weight distribution. I know in my truck RWD is a pain in wet conditions. FWD is much more manageable. When it comes to mud, either would be horrible.
Re: General discussion chat No problem with fwd in snow, sure fwd motorhome is just fine, its not like it is going rock climbing or mudding....
Re: General discussion chat But what if I wanted to go rock climbing in my RV. Besides, FWD in a big thing like an RV is just strange.
Re: General discussion chat I've driven a rwd truck, 4x4 off, and a FWD suv in mud. Truck, even though barely any weight in the back, was better in the mud. It ain't exactly easier to handle, but it did it and the suv didn't.
Re: General discussion chat Exactly. The motorhome is plenty of heavy enough to minimize wheel spin in snow. The only problem I'd see with it in snow is getting the thing stopped.
Re: General discussion chat Plus it wouldn't really work as a go kart like in that Dirt Everyday video.
Re: General discussion chat I wish there was a way to view a list of members' post counts in descending order. :/
Re: General discussion chat Roleplaying group- East coast USA is now open to everyone make sure to read the rules once you join -----New car Robbery system---- Just a simple way of doing it. Car robber must take a picture outside the persons house they're robbing+the car they stole outside their gang/criminal hideout and send the person a PM including both. The police have 2 hours (may change depending on how things go) from when the PM was sent not when it was received but when it was sent. Atleast 1 cop must take a picture outside the person that got robbed house and another outside the gang/criminal hideout. The person that got robbed can only send the cops the picture of the gang hideout. So if you didn't mark your house on the map have fun trying to get your car back ! If you don't understand post in this thread : RP Questions and I'll try to explain better gl & hf Oh.. btw RTW gang is recruiting so if you want to be in a gang to do races robbery and things shoot me a PM Group link
