Crocodile: 4WD, 4W Steering, and pretty ugly.

[bartneck]

I had another go at an off roader, this time with indepent suspension. Crocodile is a robust off road LEGO car that has four wheel drive and four wheel steering. It’s frame is very compact and rigid. It drives fast over obstacles and its independent suspension system makes sure that all wheels touch the ground at all times. I also spread some of my “wisdom” on how to build a well designed LEGO off road car. This might be of interest of a a complete newcomer to lego off road building, but a bit lame for all you expert builders.

The

got a bit lengthy this time but has some nice slow motion shots of the indepentend suspension at work.

I look forward to you building a construction or truck vehicle.....

Its a good start, but i'm affraid your U joints and CV joints wont held for long... Try removing one CV joint, only to see they are flattened. I do like the video though!

Very nice! Just the escentials and a good minimalist construction and I do not believe it to be ugly.

Great function, looks like you have good off road function and good speed combined in one!

The video was great, not too long, very informative.

That's exactly what I thought too, listened again to realize he said fluffy
