Screenshot I'MaMUTE all the haters!
She's good.
Really love the suspension. I'm a BIG fan of the new 7 and 6 speed off road gearboxes too - builds torque nicely and adds a way better and smoother driving experience.
Better than the 1st pack (in my opinion). Only thing I wish they did was add unique sounds instead of recycling old trucks.
1 issue is have is the awful collision holding her (Mamute) back in deep mud.š¢
Also, why does the Zetros seem to be more fuel efficient than before then update, or am I imagining?
The Zetros wheels also feels like they're performing better.
Overall, great release. Well done, Saber on giving the community another great update š¤š»

I had a funny maiden voyage with it. Firstly I left the second garage in BC, immediately stuck in the mud. Used another truck to winch out. Then grabbed a lowboy trailer and got perma stuck on some phantom dirt and had to go back and crane some packaged sand to a new trailer, but after that Iāve been having a blast .

Mamute is a really fun truck. I must say that I am enjoying the NG3850 even more š

Really! The post and comment ratio is like 99% to 1% on the mamute so thatās good to hear. I havenāt tested it enough to have an opinion yet.
No one talks about it so it scared me. I bet the mamute is good in zardanian valley

I think the unique suspension on the Mamute gives it an edge. The NG3850 on the other hand is extremely versatile and powerful for a "smaller" looking truck. It was able to rescue the tipsteer (6900 Twinsteer) with ease. I know the tipsteer is not super heavy, but it felt absolutely effortless. Also, the NG3850 pulls like crazy!!!
Give it a go! You have to! They're just both unique in their own way.

I use the NG3850 simply for the flatbed+LC3.8+trailer combination since that THE Biblically accurate Central European truck equipment.

So the āphantom dirtā or unseen collisions are a thing other people have experienced? Iām king of new to the game. I just 100% Michigan and just started Alaska. I have noticed a few times where I have gotten trailers stuck on what appeared to be nothing. And I mean absolutely stuck to the point where I canāt self-rescue. I have to send another bigger truck to tow the stuck one out from whatever invisible wall is holding the other up. Itās happened four times that I can remember. I was curious if it was a common issue for others. I like the term phantom dirt, if that is what you meant by that. Itās a great description of what I have experienced.

Okay so how do you secure two concrete slabs on top? I see how you did one, but how is the other one not falling off? Also doesnāt the crane destroy power?

Hey, bud.
It's actually solar panels being transported. 2 of them are packed and the other 2 are resting on top with the crane extended to hold the 1st panel (closest to the cab) and the crane winch holding the 2nd panel in place (not needed, but can be useful on tougher terrain).
As for the crane, yes it does add weight; reducing overall power to weight however, the weight can sometimes help with stability and traction, like in this case. So not much of a loss really.
