3. Mudding
An off-road vehicle runs
through a pit of mud, with
the vehicle getting fully
caked and immersed in mud.
Tires play a critical role in
mudding.
Mud terrain tires should have
extra large lugs because they
allow you to keep traction
and keeps you from getting
stuck.
4. Dune Basing
This involves driving off-road
vehicles through sand dunes.
A combination of driving on
mud and hills.
Very popular in Saudi Arabia
and the middle east due to
the abundance of sand dunes
there but in other areas, it is
mostly illegal because of the
concern that it might
damage sand dunes.

Needs concentration on the
speed of your vehicle when

Physics
MOMENTUM
Although the mass of your vehicle remains the
same, the speed always changes. So know when to
accelerate or decelerate and land effectively in
whatever surface.
ANGLES
There are three angles that you should be
concerned with : Approach angle ; Break-over
angle; Departure angle
TRACTION
Traction is the ‘grip’ of your vehicle’s tires on a
surface. It depends on the type of tire you are using
as well as its air pressure and size.
FRICTION & GRAVITY
likely to be the cause of your vehicle at stopping.

Terrain
Vehicles
