Haha thanks :) Yeah I started off with the Crane Truck wheels, but i couldn't help using the wide ones. Thanks! Yeah I can see the resemblance -
We're hard to please I guess, but I agree that the new website is unfortunately garbage.

Hey everyone, Here's my newest MOC, the Audi Quattro group B rally car. Hope you guys like it! Final by Teo's Technic, on Flickr It has -working steering with servo motor -4x4 drive with 2 x L motors and independent suspension -two speed RC gearbox -headlights -opening doors and hood.

Stunning!

[MOC] Unimog 437

Awesome MOC! So compact and clean -
Awesome MOC man! I'm glad you liked my axle so much. Love the solution for rear axle suspension.
-
Thanks man! You're right wheels are more angled than they should be to scale, but the torsion bars and low centre of gravity make it super stable. The benefit is that the suspension has crazy range! DSC05693 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr Yeah they are, @HorcikDesigns has been telling me that.
-
Here's the video guys, it took a while.
-
There's a ton of snow out there, so video shooting has been postponed. Still gonna happen though!
-
Thanks mate! True say. I intentionally left out lights like the truck trial in the video, but bars and chains could work I'll try that out.
-
Thanks guys! You're right it looks better this way. The performance is also amazing, I recharged the battery and this baby climbs until it falls backwards at around 60 degrees slope. My camera memory card isn't working so I have to get a new one before I shoot some video, and then I'll take it out for a spin.
-
DSC05687 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr I think you were right @HorcikDesigns. It looks better a stud taller. I also added some detailing on the front, keeping it super light it's as heavy as I want it to be. Good tip! I think it's all done! What do you think about it now with the top a stud taller?
-
I'll build it and post to compare.
-
Thanks man! Yeah tried to keep it as light as possible, it's about 1 kilogram. What kind of detailing were you thinking? I intentionally avoided interior detailing to keep weight low. Do you mean the whole cab should be a stud staller? Or the mudguard a stud lower? Cause I can't move the mudguard any lower, it touches the wheel when it is fully pressed. So cabin a stud lower in the front? I kind of combined the 6x6 T-815-7 with the truck trial from the video.
-
DSC05684 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr Here we are guys. What do you think?
-
you're right, but I made the steering really precise by having just one and I didn't wanna change that
-
I reallt like the body of this 6x6, without the parts at the rear and side hindering performance. It's a trial truck after all. I'm gonna make this cab, but in red cause that's what I got.
-
Thanks man! Not yet, I was going to make one after the bodywork is done. Thanks man! I checked out your Flickr, awesome drawings man! Here's my question guys. On the actual tatra there are these rectangular containers on either side in between the first and second axles. I was thinking of leaving that out in the interest of keeping the weight low and making it more versatile, as those would reduce ground clearance. I'll build it that way, keeping the cab body light as I can, and then see if it looks ok.
-
DSC05674 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr DSC05673 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr Chassis done and the performance is amazing!
-
Awesome truck man! I love the bodywork, and speed is impressive for that size.
-
Yes please I'd love to see! Ahhhh I get what you're saying the travel on the axles is too much, especially downwards. You're right about that, but I just did that n purpose to make the wheels have maximum contact with the ground. Im currently working on making the rear chassis with torsion bars, so that'll be done soon. It's turning out to be a challenge to fit in the battery box in between the rear axles as well as torsion bars as well as keeping the chassis resilient to bending over bumps, suggestions?

So do you think the wheels should have less of an angle stationary or less overall range of motion? No problem! Technically it's not real Tatra suspension, although it still has half-axles like a tatra. Thanks! True, and they look cool eh! So here's a temporary chassis to test torque and weight distribution. It can currently climb a slope until it falls back at around 60 degrees, so torque is good. The wheels are pretty evenly pressed, and when I put the rear battery box inside the chassis, the lower weight will increase stability. IMG_6555 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr
-
Yeah it's the same speed as my last Tatra, which was smaller scale. If I keep it simple like this it'll turn out roughly the same weight, and the previous one had more than enough torque. Plus the speed is nice.
-
So do you think I should set it up with harder springs so that at rest, once built, the axles are in the near-horizontal position and the only direction the wheels can travel over bumps is up? I was thinking if I do this, but that will mean the mudguards will be really high up. What do you think? I'm planning to keep it pretty light, I'll see when it's fully weighted how it performs and go from there IMG_6554 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr IMG_6553 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr Like I said the axle has great stability, the steering is precise and compact, and it can take sufficient torque. The suspension is long travelling and smooth. The only issue is it doesn't have a massive turning radius, but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the benefits. I'm deciding what gearing I should use for the L-motors. Do you guys think it is slowed down enough to have sufficient torque?
-
I'm hoping that when the truck is finished the suspension will be about half-pressed, which will make the wheels closer to vertical as you say. Here's what I've got so far, with the red parts showing where the cab will be. It turns out I have a good amount of space. I could even try adding in a gearbox, however the performance will probably be best without. Do you think it'll be heavy enough to compress the springs? They're LEGO's weakest grey ones, and twice the weaker due to mechanical advantage from being positioned halfway down the half-axle, roughly. IMG_6552 by Teo's Technic, on Flickr I'm quite happy with the robustness so far, and wheel travel. The steering is also very precise, despite having a fairly small turning radius.
