[MOC] Peugeot 3008 Dakar

[Burko-uk]

I was inspired when I first saw this car during the dakar, that it's boxey shape would lend itself to my c-grade bodywork skills. That Peugeot no longer race this car goes to show how long it taken me to get myself in gear and actually make the thing!

It has 4 L-Motors, powered by two AA battery boxes, through two IR's, one of which controls the steering. The colour vomit finish was intended to match the sponsorship colour scheme, let down by limited clours available for the curved panels used in the door. I ran out of enthusiasm so there's no interior, but given the size of the thing it moves OK. The suspension is based on the F1 car suspension arms, which in hindsight was a mistake. As the weight went up, the shocks needed doubling up, so the hubs look too fat in order to retrofit an extra shock at each corner.

Overall, not being a regular MOC-er, and this being the first time I've seriously tried a car, I'm fairly please with this.

It looks pretty good! As you stated yourself, it's not the prettiest model I've ever seen, but it sure looks nice! Well done!

Looks pretty OK, as those stacked beams somehow ruin whole look. Also spare tires are missing.
