[Challenge 5][Cat D] Pago Pago

[rodiziorobs]

Reverse trike, with tilt function. IRL, a rider would lean into the turns and the wheels would tilt like on a motorcycle to give better maneuverability and control.

Will add story later.

Because the minifig cannot actually lean (like most Lego models, it relies on hand-of-god steering), I put a lever in behind the right wheel to activate the tilt function.

I had wanted to go all-in with independent suspension and steering, as well, but the size constraint made it impossible.

Some undercarriage shots follow, along with the required size proof:

Cool build! Really great job on the suspension and steering! That adds a lot, and is hard to incorporate on a smaller build like this, so bravo!

The pago pago must be a hard opponent in the olympics
