    Very nice! Can't wait to see the finished product.

    I don't think I can, in fact the scale should really be more like 1/10. It still has to be big to fit the axles, Servo, and all 4 L motors in a chassis that's supposed to be about 11 studs wide altogether. Plus the 2 battery boxes somewhere in the rear. Me too, not very many people have 4 L motors, but I think they have some untapped potential for a vehicle like this.

    Alright everyone, unfortunately I have to change this project a bit. I'm going to still make instructions for it, but now the parts needed are a bit more plentiful. I hope to model something like this: So the bad part is that I will no longer be making two different types of bodywork, I will only make this shape. Plus the size is going to be bumped up to almost 1/8 scale ( I think ) with 9398 tires. It also will have 4 L motors and 2 Rechargeable Battery boxes, instead of 2 and 1. Now I'm looking for a really powerful buggy with decent speed. Unfortunately the weather hasn't been great, so I probably won't be able to start the building process until next week.

    I can not wait for this rally car, I might actually start my rally car project soon. :excited: Yeah, I know it's kind of weird, but somehow I figure out how to make the front axle last. Nonetheless though, it does not always come out the best. This actually happened in both my Trophy Truck and Roadster.

    Cool, not sure what it is, but i think it's a 6 legged walker. Am I right? It would be nice to see some complex walkers around here, can't wait to see how it comes along!

    Ah yes, I hate it when there are no panels in the shape you need. I usually start with what I want to model, then if I have the appropriate motors, colors, parts, and so on, I also make sure the tires look similar to the real vehicle in shape and size. Then I usually start with the easiest axle (usually rear axle) and continue up the chassis and construct the front axle last, although for more complex models this process might not work because the front axle has to fit a certain way instead of the chassis fitting the front axle, if you get what I mean . Finally I work on the bodywork, which is almost always the hardest for me.

    Yeah, I could see your point, but I would rather have that than angular parts. Anyway it's coming along great!!
  8. unimog123
    Yeah, nice job! It sure is good for a kind of MOC that you don't normally do!

    Nice job on the video. It's a lot faster than I thought it would be, and I love how the rear wheel popped up in the beginning.

    Well, today I have posted my Kamaz on my website. I'm still working on the video, unfortunately it's too cold today and I think I have to maybe swap out XL motors since the one I've been running seems to be a bit weak. (even when the rechargeable battery is fully charged)
  11. unimog123
    Yeah, me too! Nice job!
  12. unimog123
    Wow, those rims really complete the model.
  13. unimog123
    It sure is unique! I can't wait to see the video. I've always wondered about making a fast front wheel drive vehicle, but I've never done it! It should be interesting to see how yours goes.
  14. unimog123
    Cool! Looks like it's coming along great! Can't wait to see the finished product.

    Thanks guys, I hope I can make the chassis accurate in a way to fit a buggy and a stadium truck body. I will try to find out more about the Axial chassis, though. I have some idea as to how I am going to make the chassis, since I currently have a Traxxas Slash 2WD Mark Jenkins edition. Also I have finished my Tracked Arctic Explorer video, and hopefully I'll get to work on the Trophy Truck and Kamaz videos this weekend. ( I don't know the answer to your question Doc Brown, sorry.)

    Hey everyone! After thinking about this idea for about a week, I have decided to do something no one as ever done before, as far as I know. That is to make a 2 L motor, 1 Servo motor, V2 Receiver, 1 Rechargeable Battery Box, Full Independent Suspension, interchangeable chassis. The idea is to use this chassis as a base for both a Dune Buggy and Stadium Truck, all you have to do is swap different tires and rims and bodywork. Now I figured since many people like instructions I might as well make them for this project. What I will do is make an LDD file for the chassis and then another LDD file for the bodywork. Also the chassis instructions will cost about $5. That way you can buy the chassis instructions and get the bodywork instructions for free. To switch the bodywork you will most likely have to take off a few pins and swap the tires and rims according to the bodywork that you have. I'm thinking of basing them on 1/10 scale RC vehicles, so in truth I guess they could be 1/1 scale if the proportions are correct. Here's what I would like to model or something close to it: These are the kinds of body styles I want on the vehicle. The Stadium Truck will have the 42000 tires while the Dune Buggy will either have tires from 9398 or 8110. Also I will not be able to start the actual building of these vehicles until I finish making videos for my Trophy Truck, Tracked Arctic Explorer, and Kamaz 4326 4x4. Stay tuned for the beginning of this project!

    Awesomeness!!

    I personally think 2 L motors suits the job best. They are low and have almost as much torque.
  19. unimog123
    That's great to here! Will the tow truck functions be manual or will you try to make as many functions motorized as possible?
  20. unimog123
    Cool! Hope the RC components are still usable. Do you think in the near future you would consider making a light weight maybe panel-made body?
  21. unimog123
    Nice job on the bodywork! I'm not a huge fan of the pneumatic hoses sticking out though. I would like to see a video as well.
  22. unimog123
    It must if it's going to be 250000 pieces. Can't wait to learn more about this massive project.
  23. unimog123
    Cool! I've tried making a very large chopper with unimog tires and a servo with a linkage steering system..........not so good, unfortunately A batpod would look awesome!
  24. unimog123
    Nicely done! I used a similar drivetrain technique in my Tracked Arctic Explorer, except I had CV-joints pointing up. You can see mine here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91974

    Sounds great! I'm sure some people among this forum have such skills. And I can't wait for this May contest.
