[MOC] Trophy Truck

[offroadcreations]

Hello all, 

Today I present my newest MOC, the Trophy Truck.

After years of trying to create the perfect trophy truck, I have now come closer than ever (but I still have a long way to go!)

This model has been in the works for over a year. Since I have been in a mini-dark age for a little over 2 years, I worked on this model on and off until I was satisfied, paying attention to every detail. The main goals of this model were rigidity and aesthetic accuracy, since I built it alongside a blueprint. I feel I succeeded in both.

Features: 

Servo motor steering

XL motor drive w/ diff

Soft independent front suspension

Live rear axle w/ hard suspension

Easily removable body

Uses Sbrick + MiniZip cable

Includes step-by-step PDF instructions and a Stud.io file for your building pleasure.

Very nice model, except XL motor))) But that's not your fault)))

This is a brilliant little model! And the removable body is an impressive feature.

I'd like to see it with some third-party tyres just to give it a touch more attitude.

Hello, I see you use a minizip with an XL. I tried to use a 9V reloadable battery with two M motor, but they were very weak because the inner resistance of this type of battery. What kind of battery do you use ?

The battery I use in this model is an Energizer rechargable 9V. I have always had luck using it in my models.
