Hi! I'm new here so go easy on me. :)

This is my 8th truck trial (4th revision). It's powered by 2XL motors, each powering either left or right pair of wheels. I borrowed many ideas from Zblj and Jovel.

Nice Trial Truck! I recognized certain elements from Zblj's LYNX Trial Truck X (which I have built), but am not familiar with Jovel's design elements. Could you describe what aspects you liked from both?

Nice trucktrial! the suspension works very well. What is the advantage of having separate xl motors power each side?

Truck has similar bodywork to jovel's. I also used 'new' H-frames for axles plus soft springs, which I first saw on jovel's truck.

My truck is also very similar to Zblj's IX and X (live portal axles, V8 in front, battery box and motors in the middle,......). Separate xl motor powering each side is probably the best Zblj's idea I've ever used. Truck corners very well and can still deliver power where it's needed.

Tnx for liking this! Just got a 400% motivation boost! :D
