[MOC] Mini Sisu E11T 8x8 trial truck

[Pego]

After building the Gaz 66 truck, I went for a slightly longer truck, an 8x8.

I tried to replicate the Finnish military truck Sisu E11T just because the wheelbase is long enough, the bodywork is definitely not very accurate though.

The length of the u-joints would make it very hard to make it shorter with this design.

Axles 1 and 2 are pretty much the same as the front axle of the Gaz, but this one uses 4 19L flex axles for leaf springs, because 8 shorter flex axles would not fit.

Features

• 8wd with 1 L motor
  
• 4 wheel steering with an M motor
  
• 4 leaf sprung live axles

already seen The video! Well Done, But The rear Wheel should have The same gap that The front ones have IMO

Thank you!

And the wheelbase should actually be like this, almost all live axle 8x8 trucks have it set up like this

Checked photos oggi the real one, so this stringe wheelbase is another thing that male this lego truck more similar ti the e11t, so again well done :3

only i don't like Also the real truck wheelbase, but this is only mi taste ;)

I don't like it either, but I couldn't make it any shorter because of the u-joints

I have made an LDD file if anyone is interested: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uQRNR6UbBWeU5tc0lDU2ZGQTQ/view?usp=sharing

This could be a concept for an idea that will sove the problem of the distance

I thought of something similar, but this one takes only one stud away, it´s a nice idea though.

I think you did a great job capturing this truck, especially at this size. Although, it almost looks big enough to have 2 L motors. If it did, that would be an absolute monster off road.

It would probably fit with some modifications, but it's the model team tires that hold this one back
