Good day!

After watching truck trial videos on YouTube I decided to make my own . The digital version was finished one month ago , but I had to buy 8 55976 tires to build it IRL. It was completely designed in LDD , I was afraid to have some weak points , but it resulted being one of my best designs ever done . There have been very small changes - different colors of some parts & improvements on the rear cabin support & front suspension supports. download LDD file Bricksafe

The truck can be powered with any studded battery box.

The drive is done by worm gears and 8t gears. Thanks to that , even using 1x m-motor for drive it is quite powerful.

The steering is done by another m-motor geared down 1:2. The front axles have different steering angle.

The weak point is the chain drive which sometimes skips, acting like a clutch gear. The IR receiver is completely hidden inside.

The rear suspension is pendular, and both rear axles are linked and supported by 9l links ( idea from ZBLJ's trial truck) The front axles are linked to the chassis and between them by 6l links , and linked to the body & between them by 9l links.

I haven't came up with a good enough interior, but there's enough space for it.

Thanks for reading, I will make a video soon :classic:

Looks really cool but the cab sticks out a little to much, I have tried to build an 8x8 but always end up failing the steering.

What an awesome little 8x8 I love the eight wheel drive idea,  very simple,  compact and great tourque :)

The steering sometimes has troubles because there are diffs at all :sceptic:

Nice truck LXF, it seems very capable and built with a very clever use of parts to make it so compact, i really like it.

Wow. Amazing Performance and nice look! Awesome. I could never build a trial truck in such a small scale
