Hello everyone, been busy with school but have still built many MOCs, some taken apart so fast after completion I never even took pictures but I have taken pictures/video of some, I'll start with this crawler I built recently. An xl motor on each axle geared down 1:3, Rok Lox 1.9 tires, 4 link suspension with LOTS of flex, low center of gravity, lightweight and long wheelbase all add up to an amazing machine its so lightweight it cant get enough grip to climb steep angles, unless its a surface like fabric, hence the crawling capabilities shown here: there is another video on my channel of the 'prototype' before my changes/improvements. Pics:

Only half of the flex^ it can easily be 90 degrees


Servo steering^


Took some links off for a new dragster idea with pneumatic suspension. Enjoy!

That's a very capable crawler, Max!  I like those RC4WD Rok Lox 1.9 Comp Tires on the Lego 44772 wheels.  Your cat is very relaxed during your testing of the prototype:

Nice, please make a video at outside. I would like to see how it acts on rocks. Keep out good work!

WOW!  Amazing performance.
Maybe it is time I put my RC motors away and start using my XL motors again.
It looks wide, but that makes it stable.
