MariusL Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Good evening everybody! This is my first MOC to be posted on EB ;-) After I saw some truck trial competitions I wanted to build one truck in minifig scale. It should be a class III, close-to-production 3-axle truck. The real ones you can see here http://www.europatrucktrial.org/ TruckTrial_1 by MariusL, auf Flickr Colour scheme is inspired by the two main sponsors ;-) TruckTrial_2-1_Gelaende by MariusL, auf Flickr outside in the real world TruckTrial_8 by MariusL, auf Flickr Most important for me had been the main function – in this case the chassis with the pendular axis for maximum cross-country mobility, the design of the roll cage and as ever the playability.

lightningtiger Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Very nice trial truck 'MariusL', I like the suspension on it. Brick On ! Quote
Beck Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Absolutely love it. You may want to add a 1x6 black smooth tile on the front, but other than that its perfect! Quote
dr_spock Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Well done. Working suspension adds to fun. Quote
MariusL Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks @ all!! @ beck: I am not 100% happy with the studs. I built 3 versions. Without studs on the front, with studs and with a tile on the studs (as you suggested) In my opinion without studs looked too smooth and the tile was too much. So at the end I like it most as it is. By the way I'm a bit old-fashioned and like visible studs ;-) Regards, Mario Quote
Legocitycustoms Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I like it, looks ready for DAKAR too. Quote
MariusL Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Hello Legocitycustoms! For Dakar I built this one: Rally Assistance Truck My first idea after I built the Trial Truck was to make something like a swap body to convert the Trial Truck easily to a Rally Truck. But as in real life Rally and Trial doesn't fit to the same vehicle - Trial means lowest speed, highest mobility and no payload. Good videos for Truck Trial: Kind regards Mario Quote
