Zerobricks Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) This is my newest and most sophisticated offroader to date. It features independent left/right side wheel drive, very flexible 4 link suspension on both axels, lighter body and bigger wheels with more traction and profile. All these factors allow it to climb up a smooth surface at 55 degree angle or over boxes the size of the truck's wheels. This may be my last trial truck, because i dont know how to improve it further Mod please rename the title to AVENGER not avanger Edited June 10, 2010 by Superkalle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahjqa Posted June 5, 2010 I already told you this is awesome, and quite likely your best yet. Question remains, of course; where will you go from here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milan Posted June 5, 2010 Great work, Zblj!!! I love this one! Not just works great, it looks great! That dominant Green is awesome! But why 2 IR Receivers? For a lights, perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nico71 Posted June 5, 2010 I love it ! You're very good with no-truck construction, such as buggy or the lynx ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efferman Posted June 5, 2010 cool which diameter does the tires have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) 2 receivers are for indpendent/left right control. You can set them both to same channel for single channel mode, but you loose ability for L/D control. Wheels are arround 9,5 cm wide, a stud bigger than 8297 ones. Edited June 5, 2010 by Zblj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backbone Posted June 5, 2010 Those u-joints will be broken soon ;] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted June 5, 2010 I doubt u joints will be broken, because they are all carry relative low torque, and the gearing comes after them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLuders Posted June 5, 2010 I like your use of the green 47349c04 "Wheels 72 x 34, with Lime Tire 72 x 34 Balloon Offset Tread" ( http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?P=47349c04 ). The massive tires measure 3.75" (9.5cm) wide and ~13 studs across! They came with the 8675 Outdoor Challenger set (seen below), but your MOC is much more impressive! Climbing a 55-degree angle slope is no easy feat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhc6twinotter Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) I like this! Very nicely done! The green color is awesome! How do the axles stay centered? Are the links triangulated, or do the shocks keep the axles centered? I think this is the best off-road vehicle I've seen on here.

Zerobricks Posted June 5, 2010 The axles use 4 link suspension. The links on the upper side go like V and the ones on teh botom go like A. Together they form an X, which keeps axles centered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted June 5, 2010 Very very nice. That green colour makes it look extra mean !! Great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted June 10, 2010 I made the model in LDD. There are 12 tooth bewel gears missing (they didnt align for some reason) and some decorative panels and bricks. All the mechanic is there. Remember to use soft springs, so you dont put too much force on the motors. DOWNLOAD HERE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmythefly Posted June 15, 2010 I don't know how you could improve it, but there are a couple of features that could be added. Be sure that I understand that adding features is not the same thing as improving, though! Anyhows, why not 4-wheel steering? With the front and rear steering not linked the Avenger could crab as well as turn a normal circle. At any rate, that thing is very impressive, and seeing at (and some of the other trucks here) gives me some great ideas to get started on my own MOCs. Thanks for posting.

Zerobricks Posted June 16, 2010 Problem with 4 wheel steering is to make sure, the rear wheels dont force steer themselfes. Also this would add more wight on rear, which is not good. Thanks for the critic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted October 25, 2010 I like this mean green machine a lot...I told you before... It is quite simple in design while taking it all, great suspension, drive line, steering, it is lightweighted, the colors are just great, I love the fusion of Lego and the RC stuff...I think it just amazing!!!

Please check the original posting date of the model. The fox 8x8x8 V2 is better in more or less all the ways. Edited November 28, 2020 by Zerobricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you have something relevant and important to add, let's leave this topic be, and leave the room for newer topics on the first page in the forum.
