[MOC] Curbjumper T4 Dakar Truck

[__________________________]

This one may not have the looks but it surely outperforms many other attampts. This is what engineering is all about, in my opinion. Excellent work!

do you have links to which Dakar trucks you are referring to I am curious.

Really well built to withstand the hits, fun MOC

The canopy's blueprint is complete. I made it in solidworks, so it should be nearly perfect.

make sure to use 12in by 12in (30.5cm x 30.5cm) paper.

Hey I added a rotating door on the side and I am adding a second roll cage, recoloring, and adding a second set of lights.

I also removed the buggy motor since I will be replacing it with a third-party RC solution for higher speed and lower cost.

Looks very fun to drive.

I was looking at pictures, and I think you exaggerated the number of pillars the canopy spans over: there is only a need for 3, not 4.

I also used axles instead of axles + connectors on the front cover to enforce that this represents cross bars rather than a fundamental part of the vehicle.

Here is the new LXF: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7ClftNJdh9_Zm1kb1o1ZHpTZUU

Wow, just Wow! This is a pretty fast (and stable for It's speed) truck.

Wow! this is turning out to look like a whole new machine!

please do post pictures when it's complete;I'm curious what it will look like with the canopy.

Thank you, I have been researching the Dakar truck, your excellent model inspired me to stop procrastinating!

Added much-needed side supports for where the doors and panels will be (still have to get the trunk though.)
