AdamFMX Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 Well, somehow it still keeps accelerating so only remaining parts are chassis, half of gearbox and half of front axle. And thats it. Maybe tomorrow, but not later than Thursday it should be done Quote
crazy technic Posted February 25 Posted February 25 very cool truck, I have wanted to build a Dakar truck for a while, someday ill give it a try Quote
Johnny1360 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I can't really tell but it looks like the steering rack prevents the suspension from working, does the suspension actually function? Quote

Well suspension travel is about two studs and I am modeling it in slammed state. Also in reality axle is not parallel with frame-it is tilted slightly nose down. Sadly there are not much options how to make travel longer-The way how sphocks are mounted already limits it to technicaly current state. Although this model aint about suspension but sooner about whole and particulary 4-speed sequential gearbox 14 hours ago, crazy technic said: very cool truck, I have wanted to build a Dakar truck for a while, someday ill give it a try Definetly go for it-it is actualy quite good "theme". And it is even better idea after we got RSQ e-tron Dakar tires Edited February 26 by AdamFMX Quote

This could easily be fixed with some connecting rods and ball joints. Just trying to help out as I thought you were making instructions to sell. Quote
AdamFMX Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 (edited) Quick status update: I was able to lift it by one hole, but now it aint so sturdy as it was and also it looks now bit off. But it was quick change so maybe I will make it as variant. More info and stuff later this week as this is maturita week and I dont want to make it for me harder later, so now I have 100% focus on maturitas Edited March 8 by AdamFMX Quote
