Smiling Pick up truck black (RC)

[bmollema]

I wanted to build a modern black pick up truck. It can switch between manual play mode and a RC drive mode. In RC mode it has a 2 speed gearbox that can be controller via a M-motor, a XL motor is for driving and a m-motor is used for steering. In neutral position the truck can be played in manual mode, so normal steering via the HOG. The fake V8 is power by the wheel in manual playmode.

The design is inspired by Nico71 his jeep. Any feedback is welcome.

How did you managed to fit the steering under the v8? I had some trouble with space when i was building a 4x4. Mostly because of the movement of the front axle.

I used Nico his idea that he used in his jeep /trial truck.

@ bmollema: So, is your Jeep's chassis based on this Lego Technic Trial Jeep by Nico71?
