[MOC] Asfaloth Trial Truck
Limga posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello everyone! I want to present you my MOC: the trial truck "Asfaloth". The goal was to make a trial truck on Silver Champion's wheels with funny appearance of massive silver supercar:) I choosed these wheels because of their softness, thickness and the non-zero offset which made it possible to hide portal gearing inside the wheel. The chassis is almost identical RM8's old trophy chassis. The main differences are two steering axles designed by me, different position of XL-motor and changed position of shock absorbsers. There are XL-motor (geared down 1:3 or 5:9) for propulsion, M-motor (1:5) for steering. Model uses LED lights, V2 IR receiver and Li-Po. Model participated in competition in Moscow on 02.04.2016. Due to it's wheels it showed great results: I got second place in "trial" (without differentials) category. If I has been a little bit more careful and lucky, I would be able to get the first place, ha-ha:) However it was very funny to drive that model and there was situation in final when it was moving only on front wheels standing vertically. I hope, RM8 will show you soon that moment on video. Note that 20- and 12- bevel gears in the axles were changed to knobs before the competitions. However, with 20:12 in the axles it still has crawling cabalities in addition with funny speed:) Video is demonstrating the first try (there were two races and the models with best results made into final), that was the fastest race of both categories. Sorry for vertical video, my sister made it with phone. As I said, high-quality video will be on RM8's channel soon.
