CENTAURO II -1:13 Scale MOC

[Flybum]

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

Impressive!

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.

Is this different than the Centauro II you already showed?

No, it’s the same MOC — I just never showed the interior before, so I made a video focused on that.

There is no need to make a new topic for that then.
I will merge the two, will make it much easier to follow.

Impressive video and MOC!
