[MOC] Small Blue Trophy Truck

[paave]

Hey,

Let me introduce my new MOC – Trophy Truck:

Video:

Features & Functions:

• Buggy motor for drive
  
• M-Motor for steering
  
• LiPo for power
  
• IR-receiver V2
  
• Independent front suspension
  
• Twin beam steering system
  
• Dependent simple rear suspension
  

So basically it's just another trophy truck, but I put a special steering system which is used in trucks with twin beam suspension.

Building instructions:

Very cool compact model, love the colour and finish

[offroadcreations]

Wow, this is amazing! The blue looks very nice. Do you think you might make instructions?

[Beck]

Very neat! I love the use 8L steering linkage to allow the rack to be above the suspension arms.

[paave]

Thanks!

Do you think you might make instructions?

Yes, I'll make it.

[Alex Ilea]

Amaizing model :)

[syclone]

Looks cool! It looks like you have toe-in in the steering because of the 9l links pulling inwards your wheels

Wait, have you connected both outputs of the buggy motor at 1:1 ratio?! It may damage the motor because they have different speeds!

Good trophy truck ! The design is nice !

It is possible to have more information or pictures about your steering system ?

[paave]

Wait, have you connected both outputs of the buggy motor at 1:1 ratio?! It may damage the motor because they have different speeds!

No, of course not. It is connected to the rear output, and the gears are used to move the axle a bit forward. At first I planned to try the inner output for drive, but it overloaded the motor, so I had to somehow use another one.

[Victor Imaginator]

Nice steering solution. And i like how truck is looking - all important included, no useless details.

[agrof]

THIS! :thumbup:

Very cool and creative ideas implemented in this scale! I am also very interested in the steering system!

Thanks all! You'll be able to see all the inner stuff, when I make an instruction for it.

[Limga]

Nice! Looking forward for instructions. It seems like I will use twin-beam steering system in my MOC:)

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

I love all about it, such a cool, compact and all inclusive design...very well done...! :-)

[piterx]

Awesome little truck man! Imagine how cool it would be setting up a race at this scale! I think ill build another one as soon as im done with the bike and the wrangler :)

[miguev]

Great work on this small scale, love the bodywork.

[legosamigos]

It is very fast and I like blue color, but I think, that you lost a floor somewhere

[Leonardo da Bricki]

That is a great trophy truck! So fast, and the clean color scheme is nice.

[GI_Jack]

It looks really good and goes well too. Great design.

[jorgeopesi]

I like to see the steering system too, small and proporcionated very difficult for the scale .

[jgw]

This model shines in its simplicity! Very good job! I also like the color scheme, but the front headlights look a little too "pussy" for me. A little more agressiveness wouldn't hurt it IMO. And the steering system is very smart, but does it suffer from toe-in or toe-out? I might wanna copy the suspension sometime.

Actually there indeed are some 'troubles', sometimes it goes a bit wrong way. But as I created this truck for fun drive, I don't find it really problematic; personally, I'm delighted with the performance.

Cant wait to see how the steering system works. Brilliant

[Bricksley]

Nice compact MOC and it's blue :) Only You could add some stickers ;)
