Yoraish's "Warthog" Truck with Instructions

[DLuders]

On his Brickshelf folder, "Yoraish" posted 5 pages of photo-sequence Building Instructions for his "Warthog" truck: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=437002 . It uses 2 Power Functions XL motors for propulsion and 2 PF Medium motors for 4-wheel steering. In the back, there's a Gatling Gun on a rotating turret! There is a short video of a drop-test too to see how durable it is with its sturdy construction and suspension.

From http://www.fquick.com/blog/printblog.php?id=514 :

"This truck known as the Warthog can be recognized from the popular game called Halo. Thanks to WETA, there is now a full size replica, straight out of the game that is actually running. The Warthog is complete with a gun and four-wheel-steering. This truck will be seen in a series of live-action-shorts which will be designed to raise the excitement of gamers'."

Yoraish also built an NXT-based Warthog 3 -- see his website http://yoraish.wordpress.com/2010/02/13/halo-3-warthog/#more-150 .
