KirTech LAB Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Hi! I can't miss the contest about Mars colonization :) My first idea was to create scientific vehicle to gather interesting objects on Mars surface. I take two Xerion tires, two more.. and I've stopped when all 16 Xerion tires were placed on my table. The transmission was very simple but steering system would be very complex. Suddenly I've remembered that I have many sport plans on this summer, and I simply have not enough time to finish this monster. Ok, let's build something smaller :) As far as I know, the first stage of colonization is complete due to this strange machine: Now we can find many roads, tunnels and construction places on Mars. My new model will deliver materials from spaceports to construction places and storages. The first prototype will have 6 wheels and AWD for high performance. Now I'm waiting for nuclear reactor for my vehicle :) To be continued... Quote
Jim Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Your "strange machine" would have fit nicely hehe. Looking forward to your entry! Quote
KirTech LAB Posted June 19, 2019 Author Posted June 19, 2019 Hi! Today I've tested my reactors. The performance is rather well. Of course, it will be better in lower gravity of Mars :) Quote
KirTech LAB Posted June 23, 2019 Author Posted June 23, 2019 After first test-drive it's time to create loading/unloading system. I suppose it will be pallet system like in Oshkosh trucks. Quote
1gor Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Very interesting, it could be even some futuristic desert vehicle (where blankets will be no problem) Edited June 23, 2019 by I_Igor Quote
Samer Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Very cool fake Mars surface idea This is a winning model seems to me. Bravo! Quote

KirTech LAB Posted July 12, 2019 Author Posted July 12, 2019 Hi! I've finished the model just a few days before my vacation and now I'm ready to show it :) The truck has AWD with six XL-motors, side steering, independent suspension and pallet loading system. Now we can do Mars better :)))) More photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141718063@N06/albums/72157709591318811 Thanks for watching! I hope you like it :) Quote
MangaNOID Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 looks awesome! almost acts like one of those Boston dynamics automatons As a competitor in the heavy transport operations, I have some work to do. Quote

KirTech LAB Posted August 22, 2019 Author Posted August 22, 2019 Hello! My vacation is over, and I've filmed short review of this model :) Quote
KirTech LAB Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 Hi! The final video about my model - Outdoor test-drive :) Thanks for watching! Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Those poor 8 tooth gears. Reminds me of the same performance and issues I had with my Fox 8x8xx8. Quote

Your Fox was absolutely incredible! When I saw the power of BuWizz, I forgot that big models need careful control :))) Quote
