[MOC] Land Rover Defender 110

[Nalyd997]

Hello everyone here is my latest creation! It is a Land Rover Defender 110 in case you didn't read the title ;)

This model was made to help me improve my body modeling for cars and I think it went all right. This is the first model from which I followed a blueprint (roughly) but in the end it turned out to be pretty accurate.

The chassis is based on one from RM8's channel, which he has instructions for. This model was a great start, however it had a very poor steering mechanism and weak front axle. I instead used 42000 hubs for steering and replaced the m motor with a servo. I also provided suitable gearing on the servo to make it harder to turn (the original steering moved whenever an obstacle was hit).

*(That connector is not meant to be loose)*

The body is made in a few sections, all of which can be removed. This is displayed in the video below:

And finally a video of it in action:

And that is all! For more pictures head over to my Flickr account via the link in the signature or go straight to the album here:https://www.flickr.com/photos/102730499@N03/sets/72157648959411321/

I may be making instructions for the modified chassis but I see how I am going, bye

As I said you youtube, its a great little model. The front axle is quite interesting, is there a lot of sideways wobbling?

Behind the steering there is an anti wobble link (I don't know the correct term) ;)

Love the front axle, especially the use of those wheel hubs on the steering link.

It was kind of one of those builds where you assemble it then go holy crap that is the best possible solution :)
