Zerobricks Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 This is my best trial truck so far, it features all wheel drive, portal axles and live axle suspension on both axles. The portal axle assembly is one of my best ideas ever :) Pictures of building process: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=377234 Videos: Quote
Milan Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Gotha love this one! It has everything. I like the video of it, too. When I look at your brickshelf page, it is clearly you had a long way until this master piece! Edited August 16, 2009 by Milan Quote
CP5670 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I've seen this on Brickshelf before. This is one of my favorite trial trucks due to its fairly compact size, and it still has all the functionality of larger models. It has inspired me to start working on my own in fact. Quote
tomacwhite Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Wow, awesome design! Would be cool to have a parts list and instructions :) Or at least lots more photos! The bricklink page is down at the moment, is there more detailed info there? What Lego models did you use for parts? Quote
Milan Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 What Lego models did you use for parts? Few sets are visible here, like pf and tracks may be from 8274, green panels from 8466, tires from 8297... Quote
tomacwhite Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Brickshelf is working for me now so I could take a look at your photos. The portal axle you have created is very interesting indeed and really smart, you must know a fair bit about offroad trial trucks. A friend of mine has an RC Tamiya offroad truck and that has the live axle too, although it doesn't feature the portal system. Do you have a problem with gears breaking with this model? Is there a large strain on the system? Looks really cool, if I had the spares I'd build it myself :) Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Only one 12 tooth gear broke once, but so far no problems! Strain is always high by these machiines, the way you contain that strain makes the difference :) Quote
legolijntje Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Did you two (Badger/Allanp) saw it in the MOC index? Edited May 20, 2011 by legolijntje Quote
Badger Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Did you two (Badger/Allanp) saw it in the MOC index? Yes i did , it was very helpful :) , the index gets better every time i look Quote
allanp Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I actually saw it during my daily check of new posts in the technic, mindstorms, model team theme. Quote
