I present to you a new tracked all-terrain vehicle ACTm "Goose" from Stanislav from St. Petersburg. The decoding of the name is very simple-
the first letters of Alexei "Basin" modernized. Video
Stanislav, on the site is registered under the nickname Stac.
All terrain vehicle built using the engine from the Moskvich M-412, a gearbox (gearbox) also from Moskvich, the rear axle from the VAZ-2101, the transfer case from the VAZ-2121.
The frame is welded.
The frame is welded from a profile pipe 60x30x1.5 mm. Everything else from the pipe 20x20x1.5 mm.
The attachment point of the balancers is reinforced with metal corners 4 mm thick.
The engine from Moskvich is prepared for operation.

Cooling system.
During the break-in on the first day, the all-terrain vehicle drove 1.5 km through the village. On the second day of the break-in we drove 11 km in low gears. The speed was not higher than 25 km / h and the gas mileage was 4.5 liters.
A problem with the cooling system appeared during the break-in. Engine overheating due to an old clogged radiator and lack of a diffuser.
On the go, the all-terrain vehicle behaves smoothly, without pecks. He rides hard on the grader due to large cobblestones.
