Mantarri Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Hello, here is my first [good looking] MOC using the new parts I got about a week ago. It features: All wheel suspension, front suspension that is sorta pendular, yet it could be independant (you guys can figure it out, I can't ), and back wheel supension using one spring (thanks to the guys who posted in my suspension topic ), 2 NXT motors, one for drive, and the other for steering. A good amount of ground clearance. Now, I said It's modular, In my pics it's in a european semi truck style, however, one could take the fifth wheel hitch off, and put on a dumping box, a tow truck arm, whatever you want! Now, on to the pictures. More pics can be found here http://bricksafe.com/pages/XtremeBuilder/m.o.r.t.-modular-offroad-truck Quote
offroadcreations Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Cool! I especially like the doors and the engine. I can see that you figured everything out. Does it perform well? Edited June 5, 2016 by Offroadcreat1ons Quote
Technic Jim Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Looks really nice! How heavy is the model and is it autonomous, eg. will the ultrasound sensor on the front stop it crashing into anything? Quote
Mantarri Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Looks really nice! How heavy is the model and is it autonomous, eg. will the ultrasound sensor on the front stop it crashing into anything? I don't actually have the ultrasonic sensor hooked up, It's just to help people identify the scale of the model, and as for wieht, I don't know, and I've already taken it apart, it isn't that heavy though, and one could easily put the ultrasonic sensor in, say, the cabin. Cool! I especially like the doors and the engine. I can see that you figured everything out. Does it perform well? Yes, it performs quite well, a couple of kinks, but a absolutely perfect MOC is impossible, I really like how this turned out, a really nice looking color scheme Quote
Lego2016Lego Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 It has a interesting body. but does it work? Quote
Mantarri Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 It has a interesting body. but does it work? It sure does, it moves around quite well, I have a 1:1.667 gear ratio for the drive. Quote
syclone Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) I see you managed to solve everything out :) Edited June 5, 2016 by LXF Quote
PunkTacoNYC Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Nice! Being NXT, have you programmed it to be autonomous or anything? Quote

Lego2016Lego Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I think you need to ask for big wheels for your birthday;) Quote
Mantarri Posted June 6, 2016 Author Posted June 6, 2016 I think you need to ask for big wheels for your birthday;) Then I'll be waiting quite awhile, ;) so I'm waiting on a person who has quite a bit of lego, if he don't have any, then I'll use bricklink. Quote
