[MOC] Mini Offroader

[N1K0L4]

Hello

So, as you know I usually build small onroad models, but I've been thinking for quite some time now to finally make a proper 4x4 offroader. And of course, it ended up being quite small :)

Specifications:

• 30 x 21 studs
• 2x BuWizz motors for drive
• 1x PU L motor for steering
• 1x BuWizz 3.0 Pro

Features:

• Rigid chassis and body
• Flat underbody
• Openable hood
• 1 set of PU LEDs in the roof
• Independent double wishbone suspension
• Adjustable suspension hardness with rubber bands
• Independent left-right side drive (skid steering, helps while cornering)

 

It's not geared high so it's really good at climbing. The 75.1 mm spiky tires provide plenty of mechanical grip (even on sand). With it I also competed in the Unlimited Offroad category at BuWizz Gathering 2024 and managed to get 8th place.

One other cool feature is that when you get rid of planetary wheel hubs and put only the rims on, it drifts really nicely:

I  hope you like it!

That looks like a lot of fun! High power and low weight is always a great combination
