I so like "glasd" windscreens in technic models. This is really an outstanding entry!

Oh, it looks so awesome. Hope you finish the deadline too. Do you plan to release the instructions?

@Go-Kart -. Thank you - I agree, voters will decide. This one is obviously the first category. :D @brickless_kiwi - At this scale it would be really full of compromises to achieve shapes of T87 only with Technic parts. @Jim - Thanks for confirmation.

@I_Igor Thanks! @amorti I hope that it is not too system heavy for the competition. @Jim, may I ask you what judge thinks about it?

New photos on bricksafe. I hope to change some things here or there, but these might be also the final photos. Main upgrade in this iteration is the tailfin, that is completely rebuilt and flows now much better with the roof line as it should. More photos in my Bricksafe album: https://bricksafe.com/pages/horcikdesigns/tatra-t87-tc18- What do you think about it?

It looks so fresh. I like it a lot.

Really good job done here. I like the offroad truck very much.

I would go with orange and white, but the lime with DBG or black would look also really nice. I like the yellow one too. I tried to play with the liveries in photoshop a little bit, and my fave is the orange and white combo. With red it also does not look bad.

Oh, it looks great. I like that it has modular body parts. Also, the engine looks well engineered. Personally, I would add roof above the cockpit, but I guess it is just a matter of taste. And yes, some livery would add a lot to the look of the MOC, but I like that it is blue.

Thank you. I tested the image visibility it only on Chrome. I would like to build the car in LBG, but I doubt all parts are available (or reasonably affordable) in that colour. I will probably be making 3D model of it, so then I could tesr other colours.

Thanks!

This time it is interior, new roof and window arches.

It is getting better with every uptade! Keep it up! :)

Thanks! Yes, I love the colour too. The scale of the cab is compromise between scale of tires and scale of the fig. I also like the slight monstertruck look of the MOC. Yes, we are used to it. Last year only one truck used Sbrick for control, maybe I'll try to go wireless someday too. , it is only additional thing we have to take care of in the section (the wire also can not touch the pole or section border. It is also good for safety, because when the truck crashes from high rock or hill, the wire stops it. Yes, the weight benefits are the main reason, but also allowed use of 3rd party accumulators, that do not fit in original BBs, and have higher capacity than LEGO LiPo or Buwizz (they are not allowed yet). The gear reduction is (if I remember correctly) Motor - 8:24(diff )- 16:24 - 12:20 - 8:24, so it makes, if I count correctly, 2:45.

Hello there, I had prepared this truck for this season for Lego Technic Truck Trial championship (LTTT). It has two L motors for propulsion, one M motor for steering, lockable central differential (via mini pneumatic actuator), two separate rear driveshafts, two rear axles with quite good travel and articulation, relatively soft Technic brick frame (so the front axle could stay without suspension), six tractor tires and no fenders. And most- importantly, it is olive green. And as I found during filming, also slightly calling for rebuild or modifications. >>>> INSTRUCTIONS finished: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-52870/Horcikdesigns/offroad-truck/#bi >>>> I know, the video is way too long, but I wanted to show how it performed in my private (social distance friendly) Truck Trial track (section) I planned to control it via classic LTTT controller - who knows czech LEGO Technic truck trial, knows what I mean * - but for the video I decided to test my new BuWizz. It performed well, but capacity is not sufficient for whole racing day. It is the reason why I do not use difflock in the video - it is controlled with pneumatic cylinder, and the pump was supposed to be placed on the controller. (* who do not know what it is, find some LTTT video on YT (https://youtu.be/jA3WcXi6YXU)) You can find some photos of it on my Instagram, and I would also like to upload some photos of it to Bricksafe https://bricksafe.com/pages/horcikdesigns/praga-v3s-trial-truck-lttt2020 WIP photos also exist. First idea (before the release of the 42110) was to use Gulf livery, but I'll save this for another project. The smaller truck is also model of Praga V3S, but first working sketch model is yet available via Rebrickable in form of .io file.

This is so cool! Good job! I love the single roof-mounted light.

It looks like to me that your chassis has too long nose to fit Wrangler proportions, but it might be caused by photos or by tge fact that I like modified JEEPs more than the original stock versions. I am not sure.

Wow, the gearbox and steering are so great!

Very well done, I like the proportions of this car more than the original, it looks more realistic. But, TBH I am not a fan of that rear engine.

I did something on the back of the car. What do you think? Now it's time to slowly move to the interior. Thank you very much!

Wow, looks really good! I really like the front suspension and shape of the body.

Thanks!

Update time. Today I made prooved the concept for the front end and slightly rebuilt of the rear.

Well, 3D file is ready to be shared (free, of course). I might make the PDF guide too, but the bricks in.io file are not correctly in steps, so it would be a lot of work... Do you preffer paid PDF or free .io file?

That's right, although the moment right after would it be done even better. Yes, I plan to make engine replica with system bricks. The only photo of current halfaxle setup is this: It can not be wider, because of collision with the body.
