BTA 4WD CENTRE - BALLINA, NSW. Current Category Rockhopper is a powerful weapon for The Rockhopper is the new dimension in gaining more from your 4WD. With increased torque ranging from 83% - 170% depending on your model will give your vehicle greater off-road ability. Those with an interest in 4WD's will be well aware that manufacturers of many models and makes have one pitfall, their low range gearing in 4WD conditions. A Rockhopper is a set of gears that replace your existing gears in your transfer case. What this means is that low range gearing can be reduced a further 83 - 170% depending on the make and model of your vehicle. These replacement gears give your vehicle true "crawling ability" and a huge advantage in off-road conditions. By lowering your ratios to such an extent allows your vehicle to climb and descend at an extremely safe speed as well as allowing better throttle control and even distribution of power and torque. It slows the vehicles off-road speed dramatically, allowing for correct placement of wheels and chassis over difficult obstacles as well as making safe and easy work of hill descents and hill climbs. Gone are the days when charging, crashing and bashing up hills was the only way. A good weekend was when you made it with only minor damage - These days are gone forever when you fit a "Rockhopper" gear set. Safety is the biggest concern when traveling off-road. Safety for your passengers, yourself and your vehicle. Steep descents and stall recoveries are one of the most difficult techniques to master as is requires the gearbox and the gearing to controlling the vehicles momentum.
