A-Team van and steering stuff

[vmln8r]

The steering system allows for tight wheel wells, and meant I could use those shiny (but wide) red wheels. This is a non-motorised version:

Cool

"We like it!"

Runs great. What was powering the drive? It looked like it could drift.

That is fast and fun. I really like the profile of the van.

The steering geometry is very clever

[parda]

Superb!! Very cool creation.

nice one, brings back some memories, you really got the van captured very well in a small package, and the steering is excellent, would build this to show the kids if I thought they would have any idea what the A-Team was

[Strikeman]

This thing is super cool :wub: Ooooh the memories

The steering is very very clever. You are not having any troubles using the 3L blue pins (friction-wise) on the steering ?

And the speed is also excellent ! I think I saw it drift in the Youtube movie ?

ps, kieran, take them to the A-Team movie maybe ? It's more action-paced than the series was but it captures the spirit of the original A-team very well in my opinion

I petty the fool who doesn't like this MOC!

Very nice creation. Authentic color scheme and very clever compact design.

[chorlton]

That is awesome! Small, fun and instantly recognisable.

[denwilltec]

Very cool, love it

[shadowhearth]

Very cool and with very clever ideas.

what motor are you using for it? it looks damn crazy fast.

[davidmull]

Looks very cool, any instructions coming?

[olaf9198]

Realy nice good shape and nice technical use of parts

What motor are u useing for driveing

Can u make instructions for the steering system?

[Sicil]

Great job! I like this steering system!

[Gene]

Mr-T was the only actor who stands-out among the rest. This creation is really coool~ especially the drifting part.

[Jeroen Ottens]

Very cool + very clever. One of the most ingenious steering mechanisms I've ever seen.

[vmln8r]

Thanks everyone. It uses an XL to drive (40:8>20:28); the drifts are with plastic wheels. Strikeman, there aren't any friction pins in the motorised version. I'll try to post breakdown pictures/instructions later.

Very cool MOC, as someone recently wrote me, I wish I was able to do little things like yours, and I add further I would save me many parts .

[dhc6twinotter]

Really nice little moc! The steering is clever, and the way you replicated the color scheme is fantastic. Well done!

[DarkShadow73]

Nice re-creation...as a child of the 70's and 80's, sure brings back memories, makes me want to haul out the DVD box set of Season 1 of A-Team I have...great show
