Sheepo/ Sheepo86 posted this

of his Lego Technic LIZARD 8x8 TRIAL TRUCK, which is his "first 8x8 truck. For more information please visit: http://www.sheepo.es ." On his website, there are extensive BIG pictures, descriptions, and additional videos. "Also you can see more pictures here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=464921 . I hope you like it! "

He wrote, "I don't like Tatra system. That system works fine but I prefer to use rigid axles. For building the truck I have reused the axles of my previous trial truck (Little Boy MK2).

"Also I have reused the suspension system too, but added some more rotation points.

As I have reused so many things from my previous trial. [it] only took me 4 days to build it completely.

PF elements:

- 4 XL motors for drive (one per axle)

- 1 M motor for steering

- 1 M motor to move the fake engine

- 2 IR Receivers

The gear ratio in all axles is the same, 9:1(3:1 x 3:1)

Total weight with two lithium batteries is 2.4 kg, and with a 9v battery box 2.45.

"The truck is divided in 3 parts: the front axles (with steering), the rear axles and the chassis." See his Brickshelf gallery for pictures of these three key components.

There is much more -- be sure to visit Sheepo's website.

Thanks for post here my last Truck Trial :sweet:

I know this truck is not very realistic but, I just wanted the maximum off-road ability, and I think the result worth it ;)

It looks sturdy and it has well designed chassis and axles.

Not pretty, but it can move good on hard terrain.
