Trial Jeep

[nico71]

I will present my Trial Jeep :

The jeep is a AWD built for truck trial. It is for me a new breakthrough with 5-link portal live axle, new frame, completly new design with the BB inside (on the lowest point) and with differentials. Yes I know why differentials in TT ? In fact I was boring by the Trial truck which don't turn enought, so I would implement this and it works ! Of course sometime the wheel slip but I prefered with the differential, regarding tunring abilities. The clibbing abilities are good, thanks to the axle. I have also included detailed interior with dashboard, seat, rearseat, exhaust. The bodywork is also modular, it is fixed with only pins.

You can see here the drivetrain, with the main gear-box and axle.

Last but not the least : I have done a complete building instruction in 41 pages.

Visit http://www.nico71.fr/trial-jeep/ for the building instructions.

And to finish, a complete rendering of the model :

I hope you will apreciated. It is for me my best Truck trial, and I like the design, more than normal truck.

Thanks for making the EXCELLENT Building Instructions! There will soon be many of these Trial Jeeps rolling around the world!

No pdf?

I guess there will be a little job for our own pdf-wizzard Dluders!

Looks great! I like the design of the suspension and axles. The fire extinguisher is a nice touch as well.

Looks great, perfect with yellow.

I just have an off-topic question, the alternative part on page 2 in the pdf instructions:

I cannot find it in either LDD or SR 3D Builder does it exist or have I simply missed it?

I can't find too, it doesn't exist.

I can't find too, it doesn't exist.

It does exist in SR3D, look for Steering or *57515

Pretty amazing job you did there nico. Love the design and thanks for supplying the instructions with this beauty.

Before someone else starts asking, HERE are the instructions in pdf format.

It is nice from you but please remove the link. I want to be the only one who distribute the PDF (very important for me). For the moment, I don't have the possibility to do the PDF. In second, the PDF will be in high resolution, in twice more resolution. The PDF you make is based on low resolution sample on my webiste (but still enough to built). So please be patient until I publish the PDF.

The PDF will be release in only one week.

And thanks for the comment :)

Many thanks to people who gave me feedback regarding the BI. I will correct the mistakes (10..) and publish the finished PDF :)

I couldn't resist it and changed the tires ;)

How does it perform with bigger tires?

How does it perform with bigger tires?

It drives alright but the steering doesnt work very well as the wheels get stuck under the front of the vehicle when steering to the far left or right.

And here is the obligatory render!

[nico71]

I love it !

Does the picture is a little pull up ? (little heigh deformation visible on tyres).

[P4trickvH]

Tnx, for this awesome MOC and great instruction.

I finally got all the parts to build this excellent designed Jeep. I added a winch controlled by an extra M-motor (and build it next to the other motors) and added lights.

See the rest on:

Nice mods! DOes the winch operate at the same speed as the model drives?

Hi Tim,

No used a worm wheel (item 4716 on bricklink)and a seperate motor (only for the winch). I also changed gear ratio to the wheels to get a bit more speed (20 Tooth instead of the 24 Tooth)
