Technic JCB Groundhog

[trekman]

I have just taken some video footage of my JCB groundhog. so I thought that some of you might be interested. It is not without its faults, but I had to forsake 4wd because the front differential would have pushed the track width out too far. This is the Groundhog, not a Workmax, and the buggy motors worked well for the trailing arm suspension at the rear. The Workmax version has rear wishbones. The steering wheel works, seats slide, and the cargo deck tips. It piggybacked the RC module, which can be easily removed.

A very nice moc.

The video shows the groundhog stutter when moving off,is there a reason for that?

I think I would of moved the rear wheels back another stud or two.

Stutter is a low battery in the RC transmitter. When the Transmitter is near the receiver module, there is no problem. Actually the rear wheels are in the perfect position, as I had a PDF drawing, which was scaled up to the size of the wheels, and then everything was placed on top of it. It is the most accurately scaled MOC that I have ever built. Thanks for the comments.
