[MOC] Mindstorms NXT RC "Treek": A truck/jeep hybrid

[Mantarri]

Well, as the title says this is a MOC "Treek", I've called it a treek as the features are that of a truck, but the styling reminiscent of a jeep. Anyway, on to the good stuff.

Features:

• 2WD power by one NXT motor with the driving axle having a 1:3 gear ratio.
  
• Front wheel dependent suspension.
  
• Front wheel steering via a NXT motor.
  
• Manually operated front winch.
  
• Opening front compartment (I use it store somelinkages that hook onto the hook of the winch to pull objects).
  
• 2 Wheeled back dumping trailer powered by the last NXT motor.*
  

So here is a link to the high-res picture, and the low-res pictures below.

*I'm sure you noticed that I used the NXT brick to build the dumping bed, I did so because f limited space in the frame of the "Treek"

One other note is that, it might seem there is a long time between my MOC's, but it takes time to upload pictures that are 40MB each, and I make many MOCs, but most I don't find "big enough" to put up here, I actually have one finished, just waiting to be photographed.

Nice one,I find myself unable to build something out of mine.

You can reduce the size of your photos in Microsoft Picture Manager or GIMP.( No idea what you could do on Mac)

Then, it should take less time if there's good Internet connection.

Thanks LXF. I use windows, linux, and os x, so I should find something.
