http://driveeo.com/oscar-eo/ Color scheme close to this as i don't have so much blue and white parts Of course 4x4 . Original car uses two electrical motors, each for front and rear axles. I will use also 2 motors for drive. XL for rear, L for front trouhg reductor, because it has higher speed. Servo motor for steering, of course. Maybe M motor will be also used, because and then it will be placed as generator, but will just drive the engine. Until now, biggest challenge is front axle (maybe just for me), with independent suspension. Some first try When this was seemed pretty OK, created rear axle and and putted together some chassis then theres concept of motors palcement Then theres some concpet of steering trough gears it was not OK, because steering angles was pretty small. Gear ratio wa not main issue, because on one side there was conflict between diffrentiel gear and steering rack. Then i came to this idea And now i can use full possibilites which are limited buy this original connection This red is used, for better control. With this the rack is hold still, theres no gap between those grey L type parts. That was the best part form my collection to use. I tried also smallest gear, but it had some cons. And now biggest challeng - building of cabin. It wont be so hard, if i had smaller wheels, which would be similar to original. I have tyres from 42037-1, but those are with round profile, not square.

Hey everyone, Here it is, after about half a year of on and off work, my new MOC, a working model of a MAN TGS Dakar Truck. A video showing all the functions: The chassis is entirely LEGO, and has: -Servo steering -4x4 transmission -2x buggy motor drive -live axles on front and back -opening doors -working lights It also has custom stickers, as well as a box for the rear, made of styrofoam board, acrylic stickers, glue, plastic sheets, and regular stickers, which took a while to perfect, but turned out pretty well in the end. Hope you guys like it!
