Our SU-100 Can't Turn LEFT (Intolerable for a Socialist!) Steve & Dave Fix It From the Inside

We had big plans this Friday to test all our WWII Soviet ride vehicles for AusArmourfest. The SU-100 had other ideas. With steering to the left nearly non-existent (intolerable for a socialist), Steve and Dave spend their entire Friday in the belly of the beast diagnosing, troubleshooting and adjusting linkages deep inside the hull. This is tech-heavy content you genuinely won't find anywhere else on the internet. The interior of a running SU-100 is almost never documented at this level of detail. Steve loses his glasses in the fog, finds them, finds the problem, and after multiple attempts the crew manages a spectacular victory lap around the track before beer o'clock. Drone and GoPro footage of the test drive caps it all off. The SU-100 was a Soviet tank destroyer introduced in late 1944, armed with a devastating 100mm D-10S gun capable of penetrating virtually any German tank in service. It quickly became one of the most feared vehicles on the Eastern Front. 🎟️ Want to ride in the SU-100?
