[TRIPLE] WIP - Arctic Explorer

[VKTechnic]

I'm back with another Triple WIP! This time, my models are centered around an arctic theme, the first model being an arctic truck. Here's the chassis at it's current state:

The other two models will be revealed later, so stay tuned!

Feedback is always appreciated

Looking good! Is it driven by two motors?

Indeed it is.

[Junpei]

Looking promising so far! Are you going to compare your two entries and enter the one you prefer?

[Doc_Brown]

Very nice, but how do you overcome the 2 M motors on one channel problem?

With my Rolligon I could not have 2 M motors and instead used 2 L ones.

They just seem to glitch and stop working.

That I think is some sort of issue with the V2 receiver and M motors: http://www.technicbricks.com/2012/11/lego-power-functions-incompatibilities.html

Good chassis! I want to see another two model

P.S when you used two motor on one channel, you must apply V1 receiver.

I don't have any V2 receivers yet so that shouldn't be a problem.

V2 works ok with two L motors on one channel on the 9398 - is this issue with the M motors only?

WOW, thanks for that, cheers!

I Don't want my M motors to "sing" lol

Glad you have V1, and won't have any problems. Good luck!

Bodywork done, thoughts?

[Rishab N]

Looks great! What;s the gear on the back for?

[kermit]

Looking good so far. Do you plan on putting a plow on it?

It's the switch for the battery box.

No, but that is an idea...

As far as I am aware, which isn't quite a lot, Artic vehicles tend to be painted bright colors for better visibility. I'd like to see this in red or possibly orange

[Kronos]

Looks awesome! I like the gear to turn on the battery box, nice idea.

If I had the parts, I definitely would build this in orange/red. But I think dark colors look just as good...

looks great! How did you get the angle on the columns for the roof?

Very nice work so far :)

[Thirdwigg]

I like it a lot. I love the size of those fenders, I think that tires are the perfect choice.

[HorcikDesigns]

The body work looks perfect!

[Junpei]

Looks a lot like your land cruiser, and very true to the picture! How did you attach the parts for the windshield? Cut rigid tubing?

[lukeandahalf]

That LC is from Iceland, not the arctic!

[dikkie klijn]

Grey is good
