[MOC] 4x4 Truck

[Parizer45]

Hello,

I created the truck using parts from different sets, that's why it's so colorful.

As you can see it is 4x4, with 3 diffs, lights and remote controlled. 

Power comes from 2 L motors and 1 servo motor for steering.

It's not yet the final form but it moves pretty well.

Hi, you should upload your pics to bricksafe and link to that from here.

Nice start though.

I'd remove the diffs.. The problem with 3 diffs is that if one wheel starts to skid, the whole model is stuck. You want all the wheels to be driving on a 4x4.. Unless you have lockable diffs.

Thanks for pointing that out. However it will probably not see any mud or slippery surfaces as I don't use it outdoor, so getting stuck will not be an issue.

Maybe "trial truck" is slightly exaggerated, so let's call it just 4x4 Off Road Truck [MOC].

Currently redesigning the chassis from scratch. Independent front suspension with virtual pivot and drive.

Welcome to EB! I really see some potential here, and I am very pleased that you're a fellow Romanian. Your truck looks better and better, please make some overview photos when you have the time. And if you have any question, feel free to ask

Thanks @braker23. A few more pics, although it's still not completely finished. I will find the time to take more detailed pics next week, maybe even a video.

I dropped the center diff and went instead for a basic 2 speed gearbox (with no selector unfortunately, lack of parts) and non-permanent 4x4 (lever for decoupling front traction). Functioning lights fitted as well. No rear suspension at the moment.
