Mid trophy truck

[Lixander]

Soo, I finally managed to finish one of my W.I.P.s - the Mid trophy truck.

Here are the final specifications:

• 2x buggy motors for the rear drive and 1x PF servomotor/ 1x PU L motor for the steering (I still need to test the PU L front chassis)
• stock gearing is 1:1, but it can be modified using the 2x 12T and 2x 20T gears
• independent suspension at front and a realistic 4-link axle at rear with a total of 2x hard 9L, 2x soft 9L and 2x hard 6.5L shocks
• a fairly easy-to-detach bodywork, that will reveal the detailed roll cage
• both the headlights and the taillights can be illuminated
• space for 2x BuWizz 3.0.

The PF version is already on Rebrickable.

Very nice, looks solid.

Do you have some images/renders of rear suspension? Wanna see how you made it :)

Also, any video footage of it driving? Seems like it would do well.. until the motors overheat from the power of 2x BW 3.0 :D

Thanks! I used 2x 4L links on the sides and one 6L suspension arm  in the center for the rear axle (for the Rebrickable model, but as I have 5L links, I used them with the longer design for the center....that is why in my photo there are 5L links) in order to don't move sideways.

Also, I don't have any BuWizz units, so I tested the PF variant with a rip-off hub, while on the PU one only the front subassembly will be test-ran with a PU Technic hub (but I would build the whole model to look for any integrity issues, although it uses the same mounting points and about the same front subassembly as the PF version).
