I like how you solved the problem of fitting the Power Functions XL motor in the rear axle area. It's a good idea that you eliminated the "weakest link" (the Universal Joints) in your design:

Nice truck, it looks very powerful and smooth.

Big smooth and strong! I like it! Why didnt you use PF, but NXT instead?

@ Zblj: On his website, Yoraish explains his decision to use both Power Functions and NXT elements:

"By the time I finished the actual building I faced the problem of control. I set up a Power Functions regular IR connection and it worked just fine. But “just fine” is not enough. I usually drive my creations outdoors, and as you may know the sun messes a lot with IR. Because where I live we have plenty of sun, I decided to give up IR, and go with bluetooth. That means NXT. The new solution meant new problems to me. The ideal solution for me is to give each driving motor its own port (so it will have the maximum amount of power), give the steering motor one port and the 2 motors that controlled the shifting mechanisms one port as well. The thing was that the NXT brick has 3 motor ports and I needed 4. Now listen carefully, my solution was like this: I hooked one NXT motor to a PF switch that controls the 2 XL propulsion motors which are powered by a PF battery box. The other 2 functions have been controlled straight from the NXT."
