[MOC] 8x8 Maz 535 Trial Truck

[Pego]

Hello!

I recently ordered some new tires from bricklink and wanted to make a truck to test them. I originally wanted to do a Man Kat1, but decided to do something smaller, so I tried to replicate a MAZ 535:

The real one has independent suspension (mine has live axles), so it is not very accurate, also the wheelbase is about 1 stud too long between the 1st and 2nd axles.

This truck features:

• 4 live axles with "leaf springs"
  
• 8wd with an L motor
  
• 4 wheel steering with an M motor
  

The steering is a little sloppy (2nd axle) but it's still very enjoyable to drive.

I love these tires, they are super grippy and have a deep tread, much better for offroad than the newer ones:

I like it! Certainly in this scale!

Cool. I like the white wheels a little better.
