Mini-Monster-Trucks (RC, RWD)

[aFrInati0n]

Disclaimer: It may be stated that with Alt Brand parts a complete blue BigFoot Body can be accomplished, this is why the Manual and the render are showing a blue body! If one likes to stick to original LEGO parts only, a black Bigfoot body can be created, but no blue one.

Edit: Oopsie, I wasn't aware of me as staff not allowing to participate in TCs - wasn't aware of this & with this edit removing the Tag from the title and text.

 

Background

As my online gaming buddy is a tall guy (203cm) and his Gaming Nickname is BigFoot, I thought of creating him a little MOC for his birthday as a suprise gift. As he has 3 kids he has not much time for big sets, so I knew it had to be something small.

With that in mind I came to the idea of creating a small, but RC capable chassis with a fitting Bigfoot body.

 

Details

• Remote controlled (GoBricks 4x8 Receiver used, Buwizz2 may work as well with tiny modifications).
• 1x XL Motor (RWD only)
• 1x Servomotor
• No LEDs
• Rear wheels have a (kind-of useless) suspension working sideways, just to allow some flexibility between front and the rear axle

With that posting the MOC is released as-is - I may not further adjust the manual & anything can be taken for free and further get modified or expanded.

Nice compact build! 😊👍

Why did you use a XL Motor and not a L Motor?

With the Grave Digger Body a Buggy Motor should also fit 😊

Thanks @FriedlS

I choose for the XL as it had the centered holes for allowing the whole rear axle to work sideways & I had fears from the beginning for the whole build getting even taller if I would have used an L motor (1stud taller) - as the main body in mind has been the BigFoot one with its flat bed.

The GraveDigger body was just coming to mind as an alternative, as I believe by color and name it may be the most iconic one (at least from my memories haha).
