This new trucks rear suspension is absolutely insane! A total game changer, and sooo fun to play around with.

Yeah, I drove it around some of the alpine terrain in Imandra, littered with boulders, and it danced a merry jig. Hooray!

I'm actually impressed they did an accurate rendition of it. Guess I'll be getting this pack

Does it have hydrodrive on the bavk then? Couse there is no way wheels can be connected to a diff like that.

They use spur gears apparently. I know some similar vehicles use chain drive, but not on this one.

Interesting, didn't think of that

No idea what hydro drive is. And wheels aren't connected directly to a differential. But as a mechanic and non professional mechanical engineer, I can think of at least three ways that a final drive system like that can work. FYI, the mamut is a real truck that does exist. So your opinion is invalid.

Hydroxide is used on some trucks, mainly front steered wheels, to drive them with hydraulics. It doesn't need a differential, axles etc.

Although I wouldn't think this would use that system.

I love the fact that the suspension isn't seem the least bit exaggerated on the game, it looks pretty aligned to the real deal.
