[MOC] 42038 C-model Monster Truck

[ace_klimax]

Hello, I want to share with you my first creation after 20 years in dark ages without lego

 

Inspired by official lego model 42005 Monster Truck

great color design
optimized for playability

enhanced functions:
* better steering radius (only front axle steering)

new functions:
* reel with hook
* tilting trunk
* openable gull-wing door

as any other tracked vehicle on hard floors it lacks, better play with it on carpet
or as an alternative use big wheels (41896 43.2 x 26 Technic Racing wheel + 45982 Tyre 81.6 x 38 R Balloon)

Side by side comparission with 42005 (with wheels and tyres)

130 pages of generated instructions for intermediate level builder (A4 landscape orientation)

I think it's very cute It's really sad that we haven't had a set with the ball pivots for over three years already, they're really useful

I like it very much, especially with the original tracked wheels. It looks futuristic!
