I have seen this trick before, but what caught my eye is the fact that accent keeps going. That seems a bit to long for it to be coasting and the open diff should not let him to put any power down. The opposite front tire isn't spinning so its not a welded diff. Or would an accent with 4 people really coast that long on two tires? Anyone with an accent want to give it a shot and report back?





Also, video of an accent getting its tires changed as it goes, if you have not seen this before.

this is probably their source of the idea.

the tire sidewall spirits hate you.

 

I like that they used elantras in that instead of tibs. No bias or anything from me, heh. Also, in that video it looks like the front tire on the high side is spinning, welded diff. Maybe the new accent really can coast for sometime when its only got the friction of two tires on the ground?

 

It could not coast that long. The "top" axle could be cut and welded solid to only drive the other tire, or there could be a line lock on the top side brakes to transfer power to the wheel on the ground.
