[TC18] [WIP] Hi-Ace style mini truck

Recommended Posts

Hello to all. I decided to try my weak skills in this small car challenge too.

I decided to totally change  while direction of my entry, instead of baja-bettle-buggy ill will do Hi-Ace style mini-truck.

Old (totally different) idea:

Spoiler

So here is first version of yet-unnamed car. didnt sure what will be in result of this very strange build...

Current features :Flat-4 engine drivien by rear axle via differential. Front axle steering. Full suspension. 

Suspension in such tight size withou balljoint is is pain in back.. So i managed to come with this very strange scheme - rear suspension is simple tatra-like swing axle. Front one is pendular and suspended in same time.

Small update.

Just quickly threw together crude test body.

Body and chassis are both build like tank, feels very solid and robust. Still, body could be very easily removed (in RC style) - just just need to pull out two pins, take off 2 half-bushes and HOG gear.

Also its realively easy to pull out engine from chassis.

Maybe ill  pause here, maybe redesgin body, or made whole new entry, i didnt sure yet...

UPD - Added LXF file https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbuasw7g5wy6kv9/Baja Bug.lxf?dl=0

And work on this baja-like buggy is stopped. Working on other model for TC18
