[MOC] Really Small RC Semi Truck

Recommended Posts

Hello again guys

Here's my most recent small-scale build, even smaller than usually and it's RC!

It has pretty unique steering and drive mechanisms.

This looks excellent for its small scale! I'm quite impressed. Any chance of instructions? :grin:

Probably not this build as it's a bit junky, but if I figure out a way for the steering to perform reliably, I'll make sure to make instructions for it. I probably need a smaller powered up hub for this, the one shaped like buwizz etc.

The steering mechanism is pure genius! My brain goes into complete meltdown whenever I try to work within fewer than 13 studs - you managed to pull off a perfectly functioning model in just 9 :pir-love:

11 is pretty easy, I've done a lot of builds that are 11 studs wide. Making truck with motors at 11 studs for 2 stud wide wheels is doable and then you have to think about where you want to put the hub/battery box. At 11 you can still fit a lot of details into the cab as well:

Check out my channel, there's a ton of builds that are 11 studs wide there. Also some of them have free instructions on rebrickable.

I'm thinking about going even smaller with 1 stud wide wheels and slim battery box, but I need to know that the i'll be able to make this steering mechanism reliable. Anyway I have a working prototype now, so I can start figuring this out in studio.

The steering design is certainly unique !! It's almost like magic if you don't show the bottom view with the string.
