Doc_Brown Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Hey, here's my latest attempt at crawling. The Demon 4x4. I'm not happy with the body at all, but was very rushed to finish it due to my "play ground" being turned into a pond! Also underestimated how much red I had, ahha. Well the main experiment was to test the chassis, which I think held up really well. The dual steering really helps get over obstacles when needed. The axles are basically what I used on my reaper as they perform really well, but always wondered what steering front and back would be like. The weakness in this moc was how the shocks were attached to the body (poorly) and as a result popped off a few times. An easy fix I think, but not with this body, something better I think. Thanks for checking it out and wait for the crashes! I have an LDD file, but not sure how to upload it. Quote
750ACE Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Remind me to never buy "used" parts from your bricklink store if you ever open a store, lol. Do you have a picture of your controller? I know it's kind of a basic question but no one ever explains what remote controller setup they like most for dual steering setup (crab steering etc...). Quote

Zerobricks Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Nice looking crawly! What are those springs you used? Quote
AndyCW Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Looks like a crawler and seems pretty robust. I actually like the body, but then again my bodies tend to be very simple. A couple of panels would fill it out nicely. v/r Andy Quote
piterx Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 actually i don't like too much the body, but at least it HAS A BODY !!! im pretty used to see people calling crawlers bare frames with wheels :D performances seems to be really good tho and the idea about having two separate servos is very clever good moc dude :D!

HorcikDesigns Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Very nice crawler, but the best thing at it are axles. I like their simplicity. And what's more, beautiful rim decals ;) Quote
Black-Build Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Body could be better, but performance look great. Quote

I know it's kind of a basic question but no one ever explains what remote controller setup they like most for dual steering setup (crab steering etc...). That is a good point! So here is what I use. The connectors are close so that you can push both sticks simultaneously if needed. Well If I do every start a BL store I will only sell very high quality used parts, certainly nothing scratched. :P Nice looking crawly! What are those springs you used? When I built the reaper I took hard springs and put them on black parts, well the soft springs got put on yellow parts, and I thought there is no need to return them as I will use hard black shocks again. I will make a brickshelf acct when I have the time and upload the axle. Thanks for the feedback guys! Quote
