Very cool.
There is one of those big Tatra trucks at the Lane Motor museum in Tennesee if anybody wanted to see one in person.

I'd buy one of those for a dollar!! Fun stuff

Instead of saying " i wonder if we will make it", i guess you say " i wonder what will get me stuck today?" when you drive one of those. Those things were trashing whatever was in the way!!!!!

So much for "tread lightly".

**DeadRiver** · 01-21-2008, 08:28 AM

I want one....

**roy365** · 01-21-2008, 08:29 AM

Yeah, it just eats away at whatever is in it's way till it can hook up.

And once again I am amazed at people who stand in front of stuff at events like that. If that dude comes at you, it's all over but the cryin.

If I recall correctly, max road speed on those babies is 50 mph.

**roy365** · 01-21-2008, 08:33 AM

I guess the American equiv. is an OshKosh truck???

Just like rally racing where the morons stand at the outside of the corner and wait for the car to e-brake around the turn at mach 10...at least with these you may be able to get outta the way....but that's a big MAYBE!!! Rather be driving one....

**roy365** · 01-21-2008, 09:01 AM

I dunno......when the driver spools up that turbo and launches it's pretty quick!!! And you'd have to run a half an acre to get away.

Bet those guys wish they had ABLS

those axles look like they're made of jelly... i'm amazed at the articulation on some of the terrain, and the abuse they're able to take
