MOC - Rally Support Truck and Trailer

[Paul B Technic]

This is my first serious MOC in a little while. The idea for this rally support truck and trailer came about as I was looking to build something which would complement one of my other sets and could be used with it, I decided to use set 42010 as the base for this and design a truck and trailer to transport it.

The truck is 30cm long, 23cm high and 17cm wide. It features:

- Front and rear suspension.

- Hand of God (HOG) steering via the knob on the top of the roof.

- V4 engine which is connected via a drive belt to the rear diff.

- Towing point on the rear for attaching the trailer.

The trailer is 41cm long, 9cm high and 16cm wide. It features:

- Lifting tray bed for loading and unloading vehicles.

Below are some photos.

Thanks for the feedback. The suspension on the front is taken from 42005 with some small changes. The rear suspension is fairly good but I am thinking of making it one stud higher so that the truck is more level.
