[WIP] Tayga 6455B (aka KrAZ 255 2.0) off-road truck - Snowrunner series Ep.2

Nice MOC, with an interesting drivetrain and good use of space! I think the small scale is also interesting and unusual for this style of truck. I like the inclusion of Extreme Adventure gas cans on the roof! I've added those to lots of MOCs myself.

You need the 24 teeth end  / 24 teeth gear to have the good spacing with the motor (and less power loss annd less bulky than if you did 16 teeth end / 16 teeth gear / 16 teeth gear) 

And you need the 16 teeth end as a link between both differentials because you need gears without a cross hole and using the 24 teeth end with them would be more bulky.

I have nothing to add here. This is exactly that. I can only say, that this scale forces you to use every cubic stud of space. It's clearly visible on this render also:

Hello, keymaker i really love your MOCS!
Keep up the good work, you are appreciated in this community!
I can't wait to be able to build it.

Impressive!!! Kraz255b IS my favourite truck!!!

I rebuilt bull guard to be lighter in appearance and to show more of the front of KrAZ. What you think, is it better than old one? I also finished the engine. I was able to add even such small detail like engine oil dipstic.

The new version KrAZ 255 is finished, so I can also say, that I end the experiment of mine called "preparing WIP topic for MOC". Thank you for all participants. KrAZ 255 ver 2.0 looks like below. I believe, that from mechanical, functional and level of detail point of view, KrAZ 255 2.0 can fight as equals with my other MOC - UAZ 3151. Nevertheless the original KrAZ 255 is still available for free for anyone interested.

As this is direct successor of my first KrAZ 255, so I did some brief comparisons on equal terms. It means I removed all additions from new version and put both trucks side by side. Dimensions are almost the same, new version is 2 studs longer and 250g heavier (but it has 2 more motors!). In case of parts count, new version has 410 parts more.

Drive train is the most important and the bigger difference between those MOCs. But this is only a beginning of long list of changes and improvements.

Space for the engine is the same, but using it is a complete different story. But in both cases there is V8 under the hood.

Also space for the cabin is very similar, but many new features found their way into the 2.0 version.

Both look great! I like the detail and a lot of moving parts crammed in there.

[Mechbuilds]

Massive improvement for sure!

This is an impressive model, with great performance!

I'm actual quite stunned that you managed to fit it all in such a small model, and still maintain that level of performance! 

Would love to see more SnowRunner trucks from you! :)
