[MOC] Terracotta Pickup Truck

[apachaihapachai]

Compact and capable remote controlled pickup truck. The model is driven by 2 L-Motors. It can be powered by either a BuWizz 2.0 or a Mould King 6.0 module.

The model is designed to run on 1.0'' RC tires (~54mm)

Free Stud.io model at Rebrickable

Great model! It is made in the spirit of @keymaker`s builds! I wish the scrub radius to be more realistic but it is not doable in such small scale with FWD.

Yeap, it looks great, far better than my Chevrolet CK1500 :D

Maybe this can be more realistic.

Indeed! Also I like the usage of reinforced CV-joints. Are you planning to test this solution outdoors to make a proper comparison with U-joint solution?

I already did. This solution is way stronger. The model turns easier. The only drawback is sligtly redused steering angle.

Great looking model, and I like the suspension / drivetrain solution, especially the one with the new CV joints at the front, clever idea! I actually have some very similar RC tires I bought from RC4WD for building something like this :) Where did you get yours?
