Flybum Posted July 13, 2025 Posted July 13, 2025 Inspired by the Italian Centauro II 8×8 armored vehicle, this Technic MOC faithfully replicates several of its key mechanical features: - 8-wheel drive – just like the Centauro II’s full-time 8×8 traction system - H-shaped driveline – mimicked through a LEGO Technic layout that reflects the twin-shaft configuration of the real vehicle - Independent suspension – inspired by the MacPherson-type hydropneumatic system used on each wheel of the Centauro II - 3 steering axles – matching the real vehicle’s steering on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th axles - Remote-controlled 3-speed gearbox + neutral Quote
Flybum Posted 20 hours ago Author Posted 20 hours ago (edited) This is a short cinematic overview of the internal mechanics of my Centauro II MOC. The model follows the real vehicle’s internal architecture very closely, including the H‑shaped transmission, suspension layout and crew stations. Only the sequential gearbox is simplified compared to the actual machine. UPDATE: I replaced the old YouTube link with this short version — apparently this is what works better these days. Edited 1 hour ago by Flybum Switched to content that works better these days. Quote
Milan Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Is this different than the Centauro II you already showed? Quote
