The front tyres were in air, the GV had rested heavily on the middle part of the lower skid plates and lightly on the rear tyres. Had it rested heavily on the rear tyres, the 345Nm torque would have pushed it forward. But torque is the least power required to turn the wheels, since it was sitting lightly, it robbed away all the torque.
I need to get back the breakover angle I lost. |
I see...
Personally I'll leave your excellent skid plates where they are!!! Very good job!
Go for a suspension kit if you want to have a good fun and keep the GV still perfect on normal road (have a look on the web for Calmini kit for GV). Then maybe, as suggested by someone else (forgive me, I forget the name) by a second set of proper mud tires on steel rims. When you like, change the tires and you go!!! Muck is always funny, but do not forget to carry a tow strap, a couple of omega shuckle and a friend with another offroad!
Have great fun with your GV, it is nice and powerfull!
BTW, I liked the red muck on white body, looks like great adventurer...
Ciao ciao
