Aussies Busting a 200-series CV

[TeCKis300]

And 80-series driveshaft!

These Aussies really push their vehicles hard in the 4WD Action series. It's all for video though as it's a metal crunching carnage fest. Especially this episode.

Want to see how to break a CV on a 200-series. Here you go:

That off-camber turn with the trailer behind the 200.. no ****ing way am I doing that.

All those winches and they decided to use a snatch strap and momentum?! Seems like a recipe for breakage, let alone the way the 200 guy was driving with a trailer.

They bring trailers on some sketchy trails. Mostly, I assume, due to sponsors trying to flaunt their products since 4WDAction is highly sponsor driven. It does say a lot for the fact that you CAN bring trailers places you wouldn't initially think to.

I enjoy their videos quite a bit though. Very well produced and edited. Probably one of my favorites.

Seriously right? They're definitely making the drama by pushing the envelope of aggressive wheeling. Exciting to watch and know what these vehicle will put up with. And what they won't hah.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video of busting a 200 CV that WASN’T shot in Australia.

YouTube is literally overflowing with axle and CV stuff from down under. Feels like the national pastime...and there’s usually some bloke with a great big smile on his face right after.

Always enjoy watching this show with my 3 year old. Things break, makes for good stories at the end.

I usually just choke it up to: there are just some people who are harder on equipment than others. We all know them, it’s fine, it’s just our different personalities.

Always remember though, momentum is that thing you use when you run out of talent.

I’m going to remember that momentum line, Taco.

I wish I could understand what they are saying...

Just watched the full episode. Very entertaining, but wow they were so hard on the trucks and equipment. That trailer didn’t belong on those tracks as proven by all the breakage and body damage as a result of slinging it around back there.

I’m thinking sponsorship does funny things to a driver’s concept of their damage budget...?

More 200 content this week on 4WDAction. Chopped 6x6 200. Haven't had a chance to watch yet. Looking forward to it.
