Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
If you don't go off road, I'd get a set of de-splined hubs for the front, less stuff to turn.
Just for reference
LOL. I guess it depends on what you consider efficient. Let's put some numbers to this and settle it once and for all:The multi fuel is not a inefficient engine. In-fact it is relatively efficient engine. .
LOL. I guess it depends on what you consider efficient. Let's put some numbers to this and settle it once and for all:
The 5.9 cummins with VP44 IP has a minimum BSFC of 0.334 lb/BHP-HR at 2000 rpm. HP at this speed is 175.
The LDS-465 has a minimum BSFC of 0.4 lb/BHP-HR at 2000 rpm. HP at this speed is 167 HP.
The one which uses the lowest amount of fuel per horsepower, the Cummins.OK, for us idiots, which one is better?
So, your saying that because the Cummins 5.9 uses .066 lbs of fuel per hour less than the LDT and it makes 8hp more, thats better? Sure don't sound like much. Considering the going rate(price) of a used motor($500-700 LDT or $1000-3500 5.9), I think you get more bang for the buck with the LDT and get very close power and performance.
