syclone Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Good day! After watching truck trial videos on YouTube I decided to make my own . The digital version was finished one month ago , but I had to buy 8 55976 tires to build it IRL. It was completely designed in LDD , I was afraid to have some weak points , but it resulted being one of my best designs ever done . There have been very small changes - different colors of some parts & improvements on the rear cabin support & front suspension supports. download LDD file Bricksafe The truck can be powered with any studded battery box. The drive is done by worm gears and 8t gears. Thanks to that , even using 1x m-motor for drive it is quite powerful. The steering is done by another m-motor geared down 1:2. The front axles have different steering angle. The weak point is the chain drive which sometimes skips, acting like a clutch gear. The IR receiver is completely hidden inside. The rear suspension is pendular, and both rear axles are linked and supported by 9l links ( idea from ZBLJ's trial truck) The front axles are linked to the chassis and between them by 6l links , and linked to the body & between them by 9l links. I haven't came up with a good enough interior, but there's enough space for it. LDD file Thanks for reading, I will make a video soon Edited October 1, 2016 by LXF Quote
JJ2 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Looks really cool but the cab sticks out a little to much, I have tried to build an 8x8 but always end up failing the steering. Edited October 2, 2016 by JJ2 Quote
DugaldIC Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) What an awesome little 8x8 I love the eight wheel drive idea, very simple, compact and great tourque :) Edited October 2, 2016 by DugaldIC Quote

Imanol BB Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Nice truck LXF, it seems very capable and built with a very clever use of parts to make it so compact, i really like it. Quote
