I know we don't have a chat room, but must draw the line somewhere....sorry...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I am becoming tired of having stuff removed. It has only happened twice, but both on this thread. Yeah, a bit sarcastic, but some funny stuff to ad some levity. Yeah, I don't have a large amount of posts, but that's because I try not to put anything up without it having some value. If I'm going to get my post removed every time I exhibit some humor, why should I want to be a member?I know we don't have a chat room, but must draw the line somewhere....sorry...
Well true: when the all the differentials are all locked up (all three of them) it will be hard to turn. However, I will be setting it up as two separate circuits. Circuit A will be the front differential. Circuit B will be the rear tandems. So I will be able to select either front only, rear only, or front and rear. This will be dependent on the conditions I encounter. And since these are air-lockers the axles will return to open differentials once the air is disengaged. So turning while the differentials in the rear are locked will still be hard it will be easier than turning when all the differentials are locked. And when all differentials are disengaged the truck should turn and drive just like a normal M35A2.Stupid question (there are such things), if you lock-up all 3 axles on a Deuce will it turn? These things kinda want to go straight ahead, even with the open diffs.
I think it is flaw. And one, I'm rectifying with ARB RD-145's in each axle. If you don't believe so it is fine with me.For the umpteenth time, its not a design flaw. Is that such a hard thing to understand? It wasn't your specification and it wasn't your dept of defense. The vehicle hasn't failed. The gov't ordered and purchased what it wanted, not what you wanted. Gheesh, it's like trying to explain driveline geometry to my 3 yr old.
You just cut and pasted the Wikipedia entry about Eudaimonia... I didn't really see the humor in it. I was originally going to call myself Rolling_Eudaimonia_Machine but I think it was too long. The idea was that my welling being in some part is derived by the operating of my big fool truck. After all I have a degree in Philosophy and I've recently entered a MFA for Film...I am becoming tired of having stuff removed. It has only happened twice, but both on this thread.

you come off like a condescending wise-arse... that is why people are giving you crap.
I have no argument against putting lockers in. It helps, plain and simple, gives you 6 wheel drive instead of 3 wheel drive. Reduces the amount of skill you need to get through a given obstacle and for true messes will get you through where an open/open/open axled vehicle would simply get stuck.
I still think you have your head stuck in an anatomically impossible dark crevice about the transfer case argument though. Maybe you should have done some research before diving into an argument where you were straight up wrong.
Or you're just trolling. Darned if I can tell for sure but it really reads like it.
It's like driving past a wreck on the freeway, you don't want to look, but. . . .FMJ, I was thinking the same thing...
Why is it so difficult to ignore threads like this and why do you just have to reply...

One way for sure to fix this. . . . WARNING foul language at the end of the clip.FMJ, I was thinking the same thing...

By defenition it's not a flaw. If you believe that it is, fine with me. I believe that you are flawed but I'n not constantly posting that. Maybe you could refrain from falsely labeling the truck as flawed.I think it is flaw. And one, I'm rectifying with ARB RD-145's in each axle. If you don't believe so it is fine with me.
It still won't turn with both rears locked, which is why I recommended that all 3 have separate engagement. but in a few years when you get them installed I'm sure you will let us know. Hopefully it doesn't take you two more years to replace your broken axle shafts & other driveline / suspension parts that break under the extra stress.Well true: when the all the differentials are all locked up (all three of them) it will be hard to turn.
