4x4 Trial SUV

[1nxtmonster]

I made my "trial truck rhino" to test a very strong chassis. I then made a bodywork of a SUV, loosely modeled after Toyota FJ Cruiser and Toyota 4Runner. The truck has ball joint suspension on front and rear, powered by an Xl motor and steered by an M. I used a normal battery box instead of the LiPo. Overall, You should be able to build it quite easily; there are no "exotic" pieces used. The bodywork is in essence a "shell"; it has a few attatchment points to the chassis, but you can remove it by pulling a few pins. Some more photos:

A side perspective:

And here you can see the suspension:

And finally, the video:

What a beast, That chassis sure does look strong!

Lovely video, (not the music tho :P) I wish I had such nice environments to test my stuff out in. Very lucky!

Thank you! I guess I am lucky to have good driving environments nearby. Regarding the music, sorry if you didn't like it, I put it overtop of the video because it was a public domain song, e.g. I could still monetize the video with this song since it has no copyright.

It wasn't that bad tbh, :) but good idea with monetize videos!

Nice MOC, but with the tall greenhouse the vehicle looks more like a Land Rover than a FJ or 4Runner:

It is not a Land Rover... Lada Niva perhaps... anyway good model

It doesn't look like it because it's not really supposed to look like it :) I just used those for general profile ideas, then just made a generic SUV
