M57 classic conversion

I don’t follow?

Remap for even more unnecessary power.

It’s already mapped

Who cant find the throttle pedal?

It was just loose on the floor tbf!
The real one is cable operated and needs to be taken off

Just be mindful of the extra forces on the drive train due to the programming

Sat on a rebuilt lt230 1:12 the brakes are up to the task
I’ve fitted anti roll bars and new props
I’ll deal with the diffs if they fail but I think they should be up to the job.
I’m not planning any off road work
A muddy field will be the worst it has to deal with

Fair enough lad

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower.

And the point of that is?

Why do anything, I spose.

Probably better to have stopped all development here

I've seen that before, can't remember where tho ...

That is nice looking classic, great colour and a credit to you

With perm. 4x4 that's going to need some power

It'll be one very, very black line, with an LT230

All the power turns to smoke at the inside front wheel when accelerating on corners My Disco wears the front left twice as fast as all the other tyres, from lighting up when trying to pull out of side roads. 3 open diffs feeds all the power to the wheel with the least traction, unfortunately.

No viscous coupling or traction control on the Disco?

I guess limited slip diffs front and rear would help. Not sure how you'd manage the centre diff.

Tbh it is no bad thing. Letting the torque spin out protects the driveline to an extent
The issue with the m57 is that it makes a lot of torque very low down
I have put a pneumatic centre diff lock in but I doubt I will ever use it unless I get stuck in the snow!
