The LandShip (Off-Road Tracked vehicle) [MOC] [WIP]

[TheNextLegoDesinger]

A great man once said “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.” (G. Marx).

 

When i saw a topic popping up of a tracked ripsaw, i was intrested. But when i saw the pictures, I was SOLD, i just loved the moc, it was so simple, yet it was so nice. i wanted something like that to. and so I ditched everything i had to do (studying) and i began. I started improving on the mistakes he made, and i made my chassis. added a subtractor put the motors in and started testing. for now i have only 1 XL but i'm gonna add another one when i freed that one from a moc (still have to make a topic about that one). this because it lack's a little bit of power (now 1:1 transmission, might change to 1.66:1 or 3:1) as suspention i wanted a soft but 'strong' suspension so i went with springs. i aslo wanted a lot of vertical clearance, so i used near vertical 'bogies'. For a feel of the size, tracks are 92cm long atm chassis is around 45 cm.

PS: the side pannels are primarily for looks, secondarly for strength.

PPS: the topic where i got the idea:
