Default One bad beatdown!!!!!

Tim Cameron in the new "GAME CHANGER" buggy. Remember this buggy now has
20" raceline reinforced aluminum beadlocks (yes he bent one first time out with them).
Dana 80 with custom rockwell inner and outer C's and hubs.
RCV 300m 2" 47 spline axle shafts (custom built)
High Angle Driveline custom drive shafts
Profab straight drive monster truck transfer case (same as gravedigger)
self centering rear steer
LSX 454 SBC
PTC powerglide tranny with reverse manual valve bodies installed to be able to go from drive to reverse with no stoppage.
To sum it up it is a Tim Cameron rock bouncer version of Gravedigger, King Sling and his old buggy showtime all wrapped up in one.

Well, if the whole pro-driving thing doesn't work out, he can always go to work for the gas company digging trenches

If only the Hand Of God were there! That would have made it some of the most realistic Class 3 driving I've seen!

Almost makes me want to go buy a wraith..

Tim cameron is good at what he does but his new buggy the "Game changer" Is not that impressive I think he was much better off in his previous rig

I agree with Diesel-Tech.
Game Changer is a nice rig, and according to Cameron it is lighter than show time, but he built this rig like a tank. The Dana 80 axles and outers on that thing are almost monster truck stuff.
It is impressive, don't get me wrong, and Cameron has never been afraid of the loud pedal.
What it looks like to me, and this is my opinion, he is running the tire pressure WAY up there to keep the tires on the rims. This makes them so hard, the bite on the dirt, but not on the rocks.
All he did was spin on the rocks. The other thing is, that video doesn't show how steep that hill really is and it doesn't show how far any one else made it up the hill..

I'd really like to see someone come up with what I call a combo chassis. Something like Show Time or Game Changer, but with a combination of Aluminum and Steel to lighten the rig.
Then build a turbo LS motor, so it doesn't weigh as much as that lsx 454, but makes just as much power, and some custom 14 bolt axles, and see what happens.

Cameron said Game Changer is right around 4400 lbs. I'd love to see something a lot lighter...

Did he ever end up moving enough dirt and rocks to get through? I guess if you can't go over it then change it.

Just so you know, a lsx 454 IS a LS motor, just a bored and stroked version. A turbo setup is heavier, larger, more complex, and a turbo doesnt give the instant power needed for this type of wheeling. I do agree that his tire pressure looked high, but hes also running 20's so there is a far shorter sidewall, which cant help the tire conform to the rocks. I will say that his driving ability using the rearsteer is impressive, and having both the stones and $$$ to run a buggy that hard is impressive too!

Sounded like the floats stuck on the fuel injection. Saw fire so the muffler bearings are toast.
