Rebuilt steering system, so it could be possible to connect steering wheel. First idea was, that i will connect steering wheel to other side of servo motor, but it was too complicated or maybe even just impossible. This was better solution. Lowered front part by one stud Made openable hood/bonnet (at beginning it wasn't so, but then i found one picture with this opion, and had to do it) Chassis strenght improvements (later i added two more, which are coming from back to front, those are possible to see in further pictures) Power station as on original, which is driven only by to electrical motors, and there is electrical generator to chagre batteries, which is driven by Infinitys V6 And this system has cooling And then there's some cabin progress To do: - better pictures at daylight - interior - lot of ether small tuning

Made it even shorter. Started to build cab All main yellow parts which i have

In which set are those adjustable shock absorbers coming? OK, i found 2 in 8369-1 - Dirt Crusher RC (2004) - 48912 is the number of the bottom and 48913 is the number for the top 1 in 8420-1 - Street Bike (2005) - yellow in some sets and this http://brickset.com/sets/8675-1/Outdoor-Challenger

Naldy997 - the reason is - i just don't have another XL motor yet srseekvve - yes, it is/could be so, but the lenght also is shorter. I thought about to make it wider, but i'am allready worried about making cabin, because i don't have lot of panels.

You mean front and rear axles? If so, for me it looks also, that they are too far, but the wheelbase is comapared to wheel size of original, and the wheelbase now is already shorter (specially shortened), than on original. The original has ~3,5+ wheel D My model has ~3 D Also front axle setup will be improved, because it is allready possible to shorten it by one position. This is built on first version with steering rack. And it was allready late, when i made this. I forgot to mention, that my company, in which i work, is sponsor for this team.

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.

Good to see, that somebody also bulding Dakar car. As i don't have yet this size of wheels, i'm using even bigger. So building is also going slower (bigger cab/body). I don't know now, if i'll have enogh parts. This will be this http://driveeo.com/oscar-eo/, but in different color scheme. Something closer to this

You start from right position. I start form chassis, and theres allways problem, to create cab.

Start with something big. I started with 42000. I just wanted formula. Then i creted from those parts trike, quad, buggy, tractor, even plane. After some year i finally bought next one - 42030. This has RF functions - two remote controlers and 4 different motors. And then it started. Main problem was, that i had only big wheels. During one month i bought lot of cheaper sets - 42035, 42037, 42026, 42027, 42007. It is better for me to buy complete sets, because to order something from bricklink, only shipping costs for me strating from 20 EUR. I mainly buy sets, when there are discounts at one local shop. So just start, and then it will go.

I also had something similar in mind, but i'm working now on other things. Maybe You could rearange motor in cabin, and place reciever somwhere there, or move that reciever behind cabin, this culd look better.

Ja, ich bin aus Lettland, un ich kann auch deutsch sprecehen. Tolles Scania. And You can allways use google translate.

Anyway, 92906 together with 32494 can only turn by some 10-15 degrees. So it's not usable for steering axle.

Problem is not so much in steering, than transmitting power to wheel

Turning axis are different, there will be problems (B difference). A difference also ir problem, because You cant fit it inside needed width. I think, that in this way, with A frames and independent suspension, it is almost impossible.

How this will bend/work? OK, i'll try something later

It think, i've finished with small sidecar I desided not to build exact body, because i came to conclusion (maybe wrong), that on this size of wheels it is almost impossible to make goog looging body. To make good looking body, bigger wheels are needed, something of this size but again, those are not wide enough.

Rebuilded rear part and added sidecar. Experimenting on body

It's OK. This design looks good, but i'm afreid, that it wont hold the load, it will breake in the midlle or somewhere else. Those parts will slip off each other. And look what i have done with smaller version Steering right ... ... and left to be continued and ended ...

See the difference

Just bought 42026 and 42027 for smaller wheels. I'm sick ... So it seems that there will be first some smaller version.

That gear ratio from motors ...

Some progress (rebuild from scratch) yesterday Possible size I thought, that it will be pretty big, but not so big ... I don't have so much panels. My this years lego budget is already empty and wife angry ... If i'll use smaller wheels (which i also don't have for something like this), then it will be almost impossible to create front suspension. Now it is almost as real. I have smaller wheels only from 42037 (it wont be very incorrect, as it will be somthnig like dune sidecar then, and overall dimeter is close to those already used) and 42035.

Which wheels You will use?
