[MOC] Mercedes-Benz Tankpool Racing Truck (does nearly 19 km/h)

Here's a quick spontaneous build created to blast through piles of fallen leaves in a park. Full info and photos: http://sariel.pl/2018/10/mercedes-benz-tankpool-racing-truck/

That's a really good looking model! I especially like the technique you used to create the fairings around the lower headlights and the lower grille. I have been following your channel for almost three years now, and your MOCs never cease to amaze me. Fantastic job!

Oh, there's quite some power - rear wheels expand in diameter similarly like the ones in dragsters.

That's a really nice truck. Looks like a lot of fun to play with.

One captions states a speed of 19km/h at 9.2V. Doesn't the Buwizz allow up to 11V? Did you take the truck for a run in thar ludicrous mode?

Fantastic result for three days! Even for three months as well 

I know that looks weren't the most important here, but they don't fall behind at all. Except the cabin feels a bit on the smaller side, compared to the wheels and tires.

What do you use for removing stickers, or to be more exact - cleaning any glue off of the bricks?

Best regards,

Miha

Does it drift?

I had some trouble with BuWizz units running dry in a matter of minutes, so I didn't try it.

Most industrial solvents work just fine.

I honestly can't think of a less suitable vehicle for drifting.

That's proper. I like it a lot.
