Nissan Hardbody 4x4 [WIP]

[piterx]

hmmm dunno... i think i'll go for regular soft suspensions... the softer it is the better :)

oh btw the test vehicle won't be this pickup...it will be this :P

hopefully i'll be able to have the same livery as well

I will probably build your chassis and change the body

[piterx]

here's some progress :)

[Epic Technic]

Wow, those stickers look so good

[rm8]

Cool!

But..where is the pickup???

[piterx]

pickup will come next....im testing the axles and the chassis with this model

but the pickup will use an XL motor as RC motors are ugly as hell... i want interiors as well

this setup works really nice with 81.6 wheels as well

Why not couple 4 XL motors? Or 8 L motors? You will get more power.

nah i needed only 2 for the pajero pinin wich was almost 2kg :P

one will do the job perfectly :)

[BiohazardRacer]

That Pajero looks stunning

[z3_2drive]

oh well that's photoshop but on my blog, if you click on the ford fiesta post, you can find a sticker template i made when i made the fiesta :)

i'll use that template for this car as well :)

[Sylvian]

Wow thats very nice!

[piterx]

well... model is pretty done this is basically how it will look like once i'll apply stickers...

it performs really well, its weight is 900g with a 1:2 gear ratio

[Lucio Switch]

It's pretty cool!!

[Epic Technic]

What do you by " once I'll apply the stickers" ?

[piterx]

it means that what you see in that picture is some bad photoshop made in 2 minutes :P....just to get an idea about what's gonna look like :)

[Tommy Styrvoky]

great job, I love the decals.

can't understand how your steering works, but from the photos it seems that you don't want to show it ahahah, how the hubs are linked to the liftarm and how it to the servo? another thing, do you have problems with the panhard and vertical stresses that requires the compression of all the two shocks of an axle? like a landing after a jump ;)

[piterx]

the steering works with a servo geared 1:2 and a panhard pushing on the steering link wich is inbetween the differential and the ball joint of the frame :) nothing fancy!

but i'll take better pictures once i'll start the nissan

check this thread out, more or less the steering system is the same

maybe i'm really not good with english but I've understand that part of the mechanism, only I haven't find out what piece you used, but I thnk you used the hub from the 8048 connected to the new hub, nice idea!

[piterx]

XD insomma in poche parole, c'è il servo collegato ad un braccetto che fa muovere a destra e sinistra il pezzo che governa la sterzata

funziona un po come sulle macchine radiocomandate... non hanno una cremagliera con la ruota dentata bensì sto sistema di leve che è più resistente :)

comunque appena inizio a costruire il nissan scatto delle foto decenti in cui si vede tutto :)

Anyone want to build an LXF of this? Please
