Robby has been looking into four wheel drive, but it's a lot more difficult than you probably think, unless he wants to run what everyone else runs (VW, BMW, SUBARU, ETC.)  Trophy truck builders have been trying for years to make a four wheel drive that would be able to compete with the top trucks in the class, but still no one has been able to do it.  To answer your question about using a modified TT, the first Hummer Robby used for the Dakar was an old Class 1 buggy chassis, and I'm pretty sure what he is using now is very close to that.  I have a feeling if Robby doesn't have a very successful Dakar that he will bring something 4-wheel drive to the race next year, but it's really hard to make a powerful long travel 4-wheel drive that will take the torture of the Dakar.  Not to mention the extra weight and money that is included with 4-wheel drive.

Does anyone know why Robbie sticks with the two
wheel drive trucks for the Dakar and not use one of his modified trophy trucks?
The small advantages he might get in some stages seem to be more than lost with
days like today? There must be a reason just not sure what it is? Nun the less
give them hell Robbie, we’ll buy your energy drinks just to watch you do your
stuff. Have fun + stay safe.

This coverage is so much better that Versus, their's is more like a tourism video for Argentina and even though she has an ass from the heavens, Inez Sainz is horrible to listen to.  I would rather listen to my own farts then have to hear her voice everday.

The fox versus the matador. Better than a all VW affair. 1st few days were expected to be tough for Robby, but even made worse with the weather. C'mon Robby, it has been a long time since a stage win, let get a few early and then lets see how a Rally unfolds.

 

Back on a plane back to states Tuesday night. Looking forward to no time difference with the Rally and following it live with all my friends at planetrobby.
