ludov Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Keep the chassis. I think it's great and a wonderful nod to the Rebel Wrecker. Awesome build! Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I agree on the body - looks fantastic! I don't mind the high chassis, but I don't like that the mudguards are so offset regarding the wheels - kinda looks like the chassis is to long for the body. Otherwise great work. I was thinking something similar, but I guess I'd better get a new idea while it is still time... Best regards, miha Quote
mahjqa Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Are there people arguing for moderation, taste and subtlety for a Mad Max creation? Y'all want dry water next? Glorious model. Love all the colours and tiny little details. Quote

I think the blue version is better. Yeah, purple is too saturated for Mad Max theme in my opinion. 5 hours ago, Mechbuilds said: Agreed! Every mad max vehicle currently is very over the top. This bodywork is amazing but the monster truck chassis below kinda is too much. A lower chassis would fit better. Lower chassis?!! Oh no! Do you think it will be safer when closer to the ground? 4 hours ago, Ludo Visser said: Keep the chassis. I think it's great and a wonderful nod to the Rebel Wrecker. Awesome build! I'll keep it for sure, I just like monster trucks. Just because. Thanks! :) 2 hours ago, MajklSpajkl said: I agree on the body - looks fantastic!

Best regards, miha I was thinking about 2 axles in the rear, oscilating on live axle, but I don't know if I have enough time to manage it. 2 hours ago, mahjqa said: Are there people arguing for moderation, taste and subtlety for a Mad Max creation?

I see ya know how post-apo desert look like! and I have a picture from the bottom, spaghetti wirenese, 4 pins holding body, some plugs, ordinary wire holder and so on.. Here's a short video how the engine sounds (thanks again for @Didumos69, lovely solution) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BGumzdP4nT_MdsuyFz3ZP-e_no0MOjNY/view?usp=sharing Edited January 16, 2020 by Ctan Quote
Mechbuilds Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I mean.. It does work with a lower chassis.. Just with different wheels. Quote
Bartybum Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I much prefer the trophy/monster truck version Quote

Gray Gear Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Well damn, you've pretty much got my vote I highly doubt anyone can beat this, at least in my taste Quote
Mechbuilds Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Are you planning on making instructions for this beast if it wins? Quote
Ctan Posted January 23, 2020 Author Posted January 23, 2020 Just now, Mechbuilds said: Are you planning on making instructions for this beast if it wins? I have an unfinished digital file for now. 0 experience with making instructions. It it win I may consider finishing the file and making instructions or to learn it (or just reversed video of disassembly). Quote
Clawp Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 The build looks awesome. Those chains look awesome, but the best part: the CHICK. I would be interested in the digital file and/or instructions. Quote
Ctan Posted January 25, 2020 Author Posted January 25, 2020 I've got some pictures, final ones. Here is a link to full-res pictures in BrickSafe folder. Now I need a video... Quote
mpj Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 This is a MONSTER! I like every single piece of this Moc, the color scheme is awesome. Many many compliments Quote
Ctan Posted January 26, 2020 Author Posted January 26, 2020 My wife today helped me a lot with taking some footage, soon I'll have a nice video I think ;) Quote
Ctan Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Ok, so I have all finished.

HorcikDesigns Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Awww, that background is awesome! I would personally focus on the car only (lower depth of field), but the rust fit the roadwarrior theme perfectly. Quote
Clawp Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 First picture i was thinking it was a edited background, seeing the others, damn you went and looked for such scenery Nice background for this amazing truck. Quote

nigel1975 Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Has been very interesting following your build. I really like the final entry and you made a great video! Quote
Seasider Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I think it looks great and I love the fact you had the perfect place to take photos. But part of me thinks it looks a lot like 41999 Boss crawler with a big engine and a crane on the back. Quote
