Crazy tire change on the roll
Ok so i fall on this video and im not surprised to see them try such a stunt,
really, i'm not. The thing that amazes me is how is this even possible !?

What kind of 'transaxle' are we talking about here? I dont see any system
capable of stopping both wheels on the left side while being able to power
the right ones. One thing i can rule out are open diffs...it would get no
traction if it was the case. As for locked diffs, well, the left wheels would be
spinning so thats out also. So wtf is this ? A one off RWD (right wheel drive)
vehicle ? Surely that would be problematic once you need to change the
wheels on the right side.. Or is this some obscure (to me) vehicle capable of
deactivating individual wheels from the transmission ?

I imagine this must be some sort of military spec 'feature', allowing damaged vehicles
to continue moving.
Or take the drive-shafts out .
open diff, possibly fiddle brakes (independent handbrake lever for each wheel like on trials vehicles)
I reckon it was specially modified so that wheel had no drive, just for that stunt.
4WD, with lockable front and rear diffs. Front locked, rear open is a possibility.

EDIT: Okay nevermind, i watched the first few seconds and then paused the video before posting. Just unpaused and saw that they took the front wheel off too. I'm stumped then.
I'd guess the driveshafts were taken out too.
Yeh, locked diffs and removed driveshafts on one side. In the USSR Czech car circus was doing that with ladas.
