9 fingers Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Hello to ewerybody i would like to present my 6x6 truck build for truck trial race, held by slowenian LUG kocke klub. The truck is driven by 2 xl motors with all wheel drive and no differentials. I made 2 servo motors for steerin, each on the front and rear axle. All this is powered by one big batery box. It was build only for fun on the race and not to win on the race. Therefore, such simple construction. Here are a few pictures taken at the race 9 F for 9 fingers on the tank for kerosene was for me a totaly challenge to build it.I dont have much of these bricks. And here are some pictures from the chassis. As you can see, totally simple construction. And the video. Thanx for watching. Quote
syclone Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I really like the yellow color on this one! The design is great,and the performance seems to be too! Quote
TheMindGarage Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Looks really strong, especially with those turntables! Quote
GI_Jack Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I really like its serious looks. Great colours. Makes me want to build something similar. Are you going to do any instructions? Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Nice, cool colors indeed, the design is different...really nice...! Quote
__________________________ Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 An observation, is the body split up into 3 different parts? They seem to move along with the axes of the car. Interesting idea I like it! Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 An observation, is the body split up into 3 different parts? They seem to move along with the axes of the car. Interesting idea I like it! As far as I can tell: Yes... It uses two turn tables to connect the three parts. It makes the model extremely adaptive to the terrain, well at least width wise. Length wise it could use some some... :laugh: Quote
9 fingers Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Thank for the coments folks. First of all. This thing has no instructions. I think the Pictures are clear enough to do Some replica Off this bad thing. Technicaly spoken. Widht wise is this a perfect solution. Lenght wise is this a nightmare construction. The position of the turntables are too low. So No words about his climbing ower Some higher obstacel. Like a Said. Nightmare. Trust me. Do Not doo this if you donth wonth be desapointed . Thanx again for your coments. Quote

Thanx again for your coments. I have an idea, could you add linear actuators to connect the axles to allow for lowering the end while trying to take a hill. In this picture: the front end of the car could be lowered using LA's to help it get over the hill easier. Then you could use reinforced CV joints to keep the drivetrain connected. The problem with turn tables could be easily solved by using the small turn tables, I don't believe there would be any disadvantage there from a technical perspective and it would improve ground clearance. The L motor used to power hypothetical linear actuators could be located under the seats in the cabin, it looks like there is some space there. Edited June 22, 2016 by TheLegoExpert Quote
9 fingers Posted June 22, 2016 Author Posted June 22, 2016 @thenextlegodesigner. This is LEGO. Just imagine. Just build it. Try this solution. I will be hapy to se your solution. Let me khnow about it. Just Ask if you get Stuck. It is always a solution. So lets go build it. Thanx @thenextlegodesigner. This is LEGO. Just imagine. Just build it. Try this solution.

I am not actually asking you to build the truck as I said, I am just offering my thoughts on improvement. Edited June 22, 2016 by TheLegoExpert Quote
SpaceJoey86 Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) This is a great truck, and as you said earlier, On 21/06/2016 at 6:45 PM, 9 fingers said: Thank for the coments folks. First of all.

Technicaly spoken. *Snip* So, as I am starting to build my own similar vehicle, I love the good documenting. But I have one question. I see your steering racks are connected directly (structurally) to the wheel portals. Does this mean the rack moves forward and back? If it does check out the pictures of my build, hopefully I will post them today. BTW I am saying this as an improvement for any future builds, not this one.

This steering setup moves the rack forward and back. Not much but yes. Must try yourself for the best understanding. 20 hours ago, Lego2016Lego said: I know you are new, but one thing you should not do is post In old topics. Yes there are many things FORBIDEN on this forum. Quote
syclone Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Just couldn't resist making a LDD model. Only made the chassis , wasn't able to reproduce the bodywork download model Quote
9 fingers Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 Wow. Thanx LXF. You made a very good work. Was it hard or not to do this???? Quote

The central axle was a bit of a guess not having photos from another angle , so I used my imagination a little bit. But it was a very enjoyable build Edited June 10, 2017 by LXF Quote
