The me-109 was better than the spitfire only until the spitfire mark-9 was released against it, whereas the p50 had always been better. And the kubelwagen was never a 4wheeldrive vehicle.
The sherman was a small tank, so please dont compare it to a tigre heavy tank.
And congratulations,sir, i really much admit that i an 24 and still a student, therefore would get somewhat excited at issues, and you do have more arguement capability than me(dispite me asking you to please stop it), so that places you somewhere lower than my age group. So if theres ever a arguement competition over nothing, you surely will win hands down. This round you won for sure
Thats the last word from me here. Thank you for your precious time.

Do you really believe that crud? It smells of pure Russian propaganda ala Bombay movies. Said and done, the numbers speak for itself but then denying numbers and facts is fair game for you.

Nope, it was never about winning or loosing, just points and coutnerpoints but then at 24 , I don't expect you to understand that anyways. I do feel I have wasted bandwidth and keystrokes as all my points were in vain. The fact that you bring in size dictating diff haul capacity goes to show that your major certainly isn't physics by any chance.

Thanks for wasting your time, I am sure you can now go back to your Geri route with your Jugaar.

Get me the facts then ,can you?? show me the dimensions rather than acting like someone my age.

If you really do beleive in what you said then get me the dimensions, would you, before you start off arguing without reasons and specs.

For all those of us who did not get what jugaar meant.. Jugaar/Jugaad = Scrap; From a scrap yard..
Hope, that clarifies..

Stop calling any vehicle with such names. I somehow love every vehicle for whatever it is, and i guess, most people in this community do. Some look good, some look bad; some go fast, some go slow. But every vehicle has a heart. Appreciate it for what it is.

I thought you wanted to leave by your own admission and now you are back again? Isn't that trolling? The rating from the manufacturer as well as testing authorities is not fact enough for you? What does dimension have to do with it, go to Bhambra Force and check it out for yourself. If we go by that logic, the Shaktiman truck has a smaller diff than Gurkha's so I guess even with portal axles, the truck has less load capacity. So size won't change the Gurkha's load carrying rating of 2.75t.

I would'nt be arguing with you if i could do that in the first place, and even if i get you the pictures, you are just plain going to deny that.

Also what you said about the shaktimann proves how much you know. Because if you look close enough, if i am sure you hav'nt, you will see a solid beam a iron right besides the differential to take the weight, there is absolutely no load on the differential.

Gurkha:

Frankly I am netural to MM540 and the Gurkha. I would be happy on a trail with either of them. I just take umbrage at people declaring "Best Off Roader" in the world and that too to the Gurkha. Learn to live with the fact that there no "Best Off Roader" in the world. Each has it's pro's and cons and each may shine in different terrains. Gurkha is a great off-road vehicle in it's own right, but please don't get carried away...

But its you who is going by the size theory, I am well aware of the Shaktiman's solid beam. We are talking about rated differential strength here and therefore that fact remains so. I guess this is the same logic you base your theries on FJ Curiser and its abilities off road.

LOL!!! It seems to be a Allied Tank Vs German Tank and Allied fighter Vs German fighter. Its getting interested. :-)

No one did, not even once........its JEEP owners who made their conjectures based on their insecurities with their vehicle, thats always been their style I guess and therefore this argument came about. Read the thread with a NON JEEP MIND and see who made stupid comments like it wont' match a JEEP off road etc. and you will get the point. Anyways, I see you are another JEEP owner so the word neutral would be a true luxury here or would you prove to be the exeption to the rule and in that case, a refreshing change.

Honestly, Trax Gurkha owners myself included have been through the JEEP jugaar stage, actually I owned a better piece of crud and that was a Wrangler with inline 6, one of my ill thought about purchases just like the Trans Am. If we wanted Jugaar JEEP or believed in how superior it is off road compared to the Gurkha, we would be driving it, but then this thread wouldn't exist now would it? So spare your breath and drive your JEEPs, just don't come into a Gurkha thread with silly effrontery that JEEP will do what a Gurkha won't. Franky, I am not interested and I am sure neither are those of us who have shelled out money for the Gurkha and intend to enjoy it to the full.

and unlike you , i get you proff too.

Yes size does matter, because if you never learnt, the only way to make a rod stronger is to make it fatter. The shaktiman, has a very thick tube along with the axle, and its what take the load, what this tube in the gurka axle. Also since its a portal with a 2.06 portal drive ratio, you would need only half the drive ring pinion strangth than what is needed in non-portal axles, as the 2.06 ratio portal hub takes up half the load. Also the shaktimann's 2.234 inch axle shafts are a lot more stronger than what the gurkas can ever be.

Man.......ever heard of metallurgy, the fact that small puny motorcyle gearboxes can take 260+bhp or for that matter F-1 vehicles regularly take 800+bhp with small gear boxes mean anything to you? Its not about size, its about design, metal used and therefore even with smaller girth, higher load bearing factor can be easily acheived. The Gurkha's chassis itself is a testament to that, it has less mass and is lighter than many chassis which are used in bigger vehicles and yet due to its tubular nature, it can sustain higher loads. Who told you Gurkha is portal?



Here is a F1 tranny capable of sustaining 800+bhp and yet it looks no bigger than a Maruti 800 tranny.

Size never matters, a skinny Chinese or Japanese man weighing less and smaller in height can give serious whupass to Ghee laden, doodh drinking big guy full of lard from a certain part of India. Its about design.
