[MOC] [WIP] Mini Suzuki Samurai

[Pego]

Hello!

I made a simple trial truck chassis.

I will build a Suzuki Samurai body for it (probably black and without the rear roof part).

Functions:

- 4x4 (L motor)

- Steering (Servo)

- Live axles

The battery box is mounted on the rear axle

The live axles has a panhard rod in the rear and a 5l suspension piece in the front to keep them aligned

The gear ratio is about 1:4.6

seems good so far, i like how compact and robust it seems, you made an excellent work, looking forward for more updates.

i can see some serious awesomeness going on here :) i hope the body will be cool!

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Nice and small, will do great!

This is very compact! You are a master on making small stuff like this :thumbup: But on thing, is it possible to put the SBrick in the front? it seems a little empty.

Small cars make me so happy, good luck with the model! At camp nearly every house has one of these.

I am sure you have double checked dimensions but it seems the battery box, servo, etc. reach too high into the cabin, but without using custom parts this may be inevitable at this scale.

Thanks everybody :)

Don't have too high hopes on the body, I'm not that good on them yet :)

I'll move the Sbrick into the cabin when I get that done

Everything should fit in the cabin pretty nicely, there is little room for an interior though, probably only a steering wheel.

Here's what I've come up with:

I'd like to make the fenders out of flex axles, but they are pretty fragile and hard to mount in the front

[JJ2]

Lookin good! I really like the way the rear "mudguards" are mounted.

The body is finished now, and I'm pretty happy with it.

It has been a lot of fun to drive, because it is so robust that you don't have to repair anything.

Also, servo steering with Sbrick is really nice

Woow, the small scale on this one is really amazing. Well done on the body too - looks fantastic and it seems this one will be a real fun to take outdoor.

This is an example that sometimes less is more... This is the small simple crawler that looks cute and makes a lot of fun... And that is important... :)

Great work and amazing good offroad driving. :thumbup:

[2LegoOrNot2Lego...]

Did not check the video yet, even though I think you could do better on the bodywork its off-road capabilities are phenomenal!!!
