[TC21] 2

This is my second try to build the entry for the contest.
If this one better then the zCube, I will submit this.

I challenge myself to build a compact transformable vehicle with wheels.
I build this during my holiday of my online math class, so I really enjoy it.

I have not choose a name for the model since I didn't have the idea for the body yet.(maybe a small truck or hatchback car)
I will update the name when I finished building it.


My first attempt is choosing the rack gear, I choose the part# 18942 from set#42043.
This gear provide a smooth & steady movement, it will support the force at any mounting point.

This is the base frame, maybe it will be modified later to suit the next step build.


The steering is simple one.

The basic transformation of the frame.
The wheelbase getting shorter & lift up the mounting frame for the body.

I changed the design of the base to improved the structure for further bodywork.


The steering has already working, & the sliding of the lifting mechanism also works.
The XL motor was took a lot of space, so I need to replace it with other motor.(to provide more space for the driving mechanism)
