offroadcreations Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) On August 8, 2016, I said Quote Great review, Jim. When my copy comes I may try to make a C-Model buggy. Thanks for the idea. I've had the set on display for a couple months, but I finally made a C-Model. And it's actually a monster truck. The body is completely my own design. And it uses something I saw in a rock crawler, by the builder "Max Lego." When one turntable turns one way, the other one turns the opposite way. There have to be obstacles of the same size for each axle, or the body tilts. Please tell me what you think, and have a great day. Edited January 16, 2017 by Offroadcreat1ons Quote
Lox Lego Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I love it! The sideways turn table was a nice touch. Which monster truck wins, red or green? Quote
syclone Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Those tires suit it perfectly! Interesting turntable solution. Quote

Victor Imaginator Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Great C-Model. Also great monster truck) Love this suspension solution. Quote
J_C Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Very nice, very original. Completely different from A-model (which is always a plus in Cmodel department). And anyway, C-models are best models. Quote
agrof Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 This is a really well done C-model, despite it's assumed simplicity (Monster Truck...rolls, turns...okay), actually there is a lot going on underneath! Quote
Didumos69 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Nice 'exaggerated' proportions! These communicating axles - nice feature btw - make the body average between the axles. Actually the whole setup behaves like a differential. This type of communicating suspension is quite common in Mars vehicles, but then sideways. For example the Rocker-Bogie suspension: Quote
offroadcreations Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks everyone. When I first saw the turntables on a crawler, I knew I would have to use them, and this turned out to be the perfect place. I'll be making an LDD file soon. Quote
