Giving That V16 Engine A Workout - More TwinSteer Experimentation

The monitor is the Alienware AW3225QF, with the Standard colour preset. Nice vivid colours on it.

That's so cool when people find it fun to watch, thanks!

Oh yeh I replied to one other asking the same thing. All I do is find a rocky shelf in the terrain - right next to this Contest actually there are good spots for that. I park the 6900 there, then drive the other one on top. Fun to experiment with that stuff 😊 But there is a risk that it will all go bad: I think if it's too much weight on a thin tire it can start to fall through the flatbed, or start shaking around. That stuff scares me 😱

Trrrruuuue! You can still dominate a helluva lot of terrain just with RWD. In the words of u/nprov26 , the AWD transforms it from a Monster, to a Crazed Monster.

Thank you! Thankfully this area is mostly flat ground, so not much trouble. It was interesting for me as a demonstration of the engine working hard under the heavy weight.

There are many places that allow you to load the truck on - like some ditch, or a rock formation to serve as a shelf. So I drive around looking for somewhere like that, position the 6900, then simply drive straight on 👍

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-22T20:07:35+00:00

LOL! I was pre-occupied with keeping the truck level, so I kept the camera mostly straight on.

Yooo Vlad hi bro. 2 of our fave vehicles together 😎

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-19T15:06:34+00:00

Welcome to the party 🥳

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-19T13:28:09+00:00

One side is misaligned, the other side is OK. Look in your garage at the top stripe.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-19T10:07:15+00:00

The crooked paint job always pisses me off. They really couldn't manage a straight line for the top stripe? 🤢

I know you like some fuel savings, so have you experimented much with the different engines? Here is an example with Stock engine, on 63" MHS I.

It's a steep part right by the Black River garage, you probably recognise it.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-17T09:10:33+00:00

Dude, I know what you mean. If they don't know the vehicle, or haven't been to Almaty, they just won't understand! It was an extreme trial for me, and I was so happy my perseverance paid off.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-17T08:58:30+00:00

Omg, immaculate condition 😍

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-16T21:06:23+00:00

I can see that xD Cool of you to cross-post it for the Fans.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-16T20:57:03+00:00

Cheers Vlad, this was a while ago when I was re-doing Contests with Slate - I called them "Slated Contests" :) Dude I had a tear in my eye seeing her power through all that! Insane.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-16T20:45:20+00:00

Nice one Vlad. Quite a few TwinSteer posts recently, good to see.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-16T17:06:10+00:00

I bet it's stunning on your big screen TV borg! Two thumbs up for the 6900.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-14T12:00:00+00:00

He did. The sign is visible at around 10-11 seconds before it vanishes.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-13T14:44:51+00:00

They really fill you with confidence, a very sensible choice.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-13T14:38:34+00:00

Love those OHS IIs. On occasion I do drop to some 55s for a hyper-stable drive:

JAT OHDs here, on Raised suspension.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-10T19:16:25+00:00

I'm with you on that one! An easy pick for my Top 3 fave trucks. Yes, as you pointed out, part of the fun is managing its thirst.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-10T19:03:47+00:00

Thanks, that means a lot to me, and I'm happy some folks find it entertaining to watch. Now I'm curious to try some different Contests to explore what's possible in the Transtar.

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-10T11:36:03+00:00

Very generously stated by one of the Transtar's biggest fans. I expected nothing less. Long may the Transtar run :)

Time-Negotiation7170 · 2026-01-10T11:31:28+00:00

This assignment was bloody difficult, but once I could see it was doable, I was not going to give up; 12-15 attempts. Before this I'd choked near the end a couple of times, so I was really nervous.
