The design files to trick the continuous rotation servo are here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4247242Nomad Grappler Mud TestMatthew Heiskell2022-06-10 | I've tested them in the dry, wet, snow, gravel, dirt, and finally in the mud. They did so well in the mud that I sold my KO2s when I got home. These tires feel like they were specifically designed for Subarus! They are lighter and more efficient. They are also quieter and more comfortable on the pavement. The amazing thing is that they are still extremely capable off road. Mine are 245/65R17 so they are wider and taller than stock. My wheels are 17x7 Enkei RPF1 with +45mm of off-set. This is a google maps link to the start of the trail. There are 3 free primitive camp sites right at the start. Make sure that your directions have you approaching from the south, otherwise you'd have to drive the whole trail to get to the camp sites. Remember to leave it better than you found it! https://goo.gl/maps/ARkGHfaBDjPWBmeC7New Wheels and Tires #shorts #nomadgrappler #enkeiMatthew Heiskell2022-03-04 | Every pound of wheel-tire weight reduction is the same as reducing the overall vehicle weight by 20lbs. By loosing 19 pounds at each corner, the car "feels" 1,520 pounds lighter. This is because wheel-tire weight not only moves down the road, but it also has to be "spun-up" and "spun-down" when you accelerate and brake.Lightweight All-Terrain Wheel-Tire Combo for your Subaru #nomadgrapplerMatthew Heiskell2022-03-01 | Every pound of wheel-tire weight reduction is the same as reducing the overall vehicle weight by 20lbs.

All the wheels are spinning together 99% of the time. There were a couple tricks that we didn't use too. We could have deflated the tires down to 15 PSI or 1 bar. We could have also tried disabling traction control to get more wheel spin. X-mode was enabled the whole time time.Power Wagon Bumper SmashedMatthew Heiskell2021-10-19 | Mistakes were made.Subaru, Jeep, and Excursion at Turkey Bay OHVMatthew Heiskell2021-10-15 | The Sendapotomus (Excursion) is definitely the star of this video.

I'm also afraid of hitting a massive submerged rock. I guess that after I went through I should have backed up and hit it with some speed to make some more entertaining footage. . . next time!Subaru Forester VS Steep HillMatthew Heiskell2021-08-06 | I think this is very close to my Subaru's limit. My 2" larger tires increase my minimum final gear ratio, but they provide 1" of extra ground clearance, worth it. The new wilderness edition has 4.44 diff gears that will significantly improve its climbing capabilities. Nevertheless, Subarus are sufficiently capable soft roaders. No one buys a Subaru to do the Rubicon Trail, but it is nice to know that you can make it to your favorite trailhead or campsite even if it is washed out or muddy. I think that Subaru strikes the perfect balance between off road capability and daily drivability.My Longest RC Airplane FlightMatthew Heiskell2021-05-28 | I think this is the record for the longest battery only electric RC airplane flight, excluding the use of fuel, solar cells, or slope soaring.

The Danchel hooks fit these Yescom awnings too: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075LD3Z3X I recommend the smallest 4.6'x6.6' awning. It is just a bit smaller than my Danchel awning. The largest Yescom awning is WAY too big. The medium size awning might be too big also.Getting Stuck in the Snow and Complaining about the CVTMatthew Heiskell2021-02-28 | The Wilderness Edition has since addressed this problem. An Achilles' heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength. I think that is the prefect description of the CVT. The forester is a very capable vehicle, but a lower gear would make a huge difference off road.3 Snow Traction Board Recoveries in 30 minMatthew Heiskell2021-02-23 | There are a lot of options on Amazon, but here is a link to the traction boards that I use: https://www.amazon.com/ECOTRIC-Recovery-Boards-Traction-Storage/dp/B0855RC9W2Forester Off Road in Deep SnowMatthew Heiskell2021-02-22 | Sorry about the squeaking, my spare tire was rubbing on something in the back of the car. Unfortunately, the audio recorder picked it up really well. I like the result of combining drone video with remote audio, but next time I will be sure that everything is quietly secured. It is a 2019 Forester with Ironman suspension, 245/65/17 KO2s, and Motegi Racing MR118 wheels. My friend and I made the winch bumper.Deep Snow Drifting Subaru ForesterMatthew Heiskell2021-02-14 | I disabled traction control, but Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) was still running in the background. You can't disable that system unless you pull a fuse, but then the car gets mad, and you get an email from Subaru. I'm serious haha. But I like having VDC because as soon as you let off the gas, it kicks in and quickly wrangles the car under control by braking individual wheels based on the situation. This sounds like ABS is "growling". VDC is not fool proof though, so make sure that you have a large, safe area to test your vehicle. It is a good idea to learn how your vehicle responds when traction is lost. You don't want your first slide to be accidental and on a public road. Also, keep your speed low while you are learning.

The tires are 245/65/17 KO2s. The wheels are Motegi Racing MR118. No sway bars for max articulation and a more comfortable ride. The springs are a little stiffer to accommodate more gear and prevent saggy butt when heavily loaded (this also helps the road handling when the sway bars are disconnected or removed). It has the Primitive Racing triple skid plates. The winch bumper was DIY. I was in no way compensated for this video. Thanks to Alex for filming.
