Sariel Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 It's just as ugly as it is fast and agile: A description and a building instruction for the chassis will be coming to my website in December. Can't do it any sooner, as the front suspension makes use of "not yet existing" pieces. Quote
Lakop Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 You're right, it is ugly but the performance and racing ability is fantastic. People can always make their own, better looking, bodies for it once your chassis instructions are out. I love that suspension and I enjoyed the video. H Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I think, that the body is not the most important thing when you're making machine, that has to work. :D very good chassis, not bad body. ;) - It might be good to remove the side panels behind the cockpit. Quote
clarkdef Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Man I think it's beautiful! I love the way it moves, such character, the fact that you make it come a live with video editing. Well done. Quote
Junpei Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Wow, I didn't know you could get that much speed out of 2 RC motors! I don't think it's really ugly, it looks better than my MOCs Quote
Kronos Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 This thing is totally wicked!! Awesome! Love the slow-mo. I can't wait to build it. Quote
rm8 Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I see you used new suspension arms from coming snowmobile (front suspension), right? Quote
z3_2drive Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I see you used new suspension arms from coming snowmobile (front suspension), right? Yes, precisely why I will be getting the snowmobile, if not 2 Curious about how he set up the steering though. Quote
camaudio Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 yeah, I see the new parts! We really need a nice aftermarket radio controller Quote
Junpei Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Wait, how did you get those parts? An inside connection with TLG? Quote
DrJB Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Those new Control Arms and knuckle look very promising ... nice build too. Quote
selfshot Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Great work as usual. You'r pretty lucky to have an urban area that empty of people :) Quote
Sariel Posted November 23, 2013 Author Posted November 23, 2013 Wait, how did you get those parts? An inside connection with TLG? A hamster brought them ;) You'r pretty lucky to have an urban area that empty of people :) Look at the weather - it explains everything. Quote
DrJB Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 I like how 'functional' the suspension is. You can clearly see the control arms move up and down as the vehicle is going over uneven terrain, or even jumping. Great MOC!. Quote
Boxerlego Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Built with new suspension parts I like the sound of that. Awesome work! Quote
Sariel Posted December 11, 2013 Author Posted December 11, 2013 I'm refreshing the topic to bring you the building instruction for the truck's chassis: HERE. Quote
jantjeuh Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Cool, thanks for making instructions Sariel! Quote
Doc_Brown Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Sweet build man! Those new suspension parts look very nice and useful. Quote
Mikuri Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Can you specify what is this very huge black part? Must be the batteries holder or something? Never seen it. Thanks :)! Quote
Technyk32231 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Can you specify what is this very huge black part? Must be the batteries holder or something? Never seen it. Thanks :)! It's the RC unit. It contains batteried, receiver, and I think the steering servo. Quote
Gee Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Now that's a sweet little truck. Love the hub caps, reminds me of my old (1970) VW Camper! I must have watched that video 5 times already, awesome filming and I love the slow-mo suspension shots. I'll definitely be having a go at something in a very similar vein when I get my new bits.

ritztoys Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hello Sariel, Thanks for posting BI for the chassis of this MOC. I've had this RC unit for as many years since it was released, didn't care for the model, but the motors are great for power and speed. I'll be digging up that kit and put those parts to life. :thumbup: ........ ( btw just finished building your other truck with the CVT, very much fun to drive around. I made that "blue pin" a little tougher to turn, so my CVT comes into action when the truck really needs it. In the beginning that pin spun to easily and it was in the lower gear often. ) Quote
Mtx Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Needs some kind of shock absorbers :) mayby those so wanted pneumatic parts could do the job. Quote
