The idea was inspired by the fullsize off-road vehicles such as Land Rover Discovery, Nissan Patrol or Toyota Land Cruiser. I wanted to make four-wheel drive car with the ability to overcome obstacles with the real body (5-door station wagon)
Body: Full 4-door SUV.
Opened the front doors, hood, trunk.
Transmission:
The drive is alltime full 4WD.
There is no center differential. Initially, there was diff with the ability to block, but from a desire to place battery unit as low as possible to reduce the center of gravity, had to give up on Diff, the more it benefits when traveling barriers is questionable.
Cross-axle differentials are. Rear -manual lockable. Front - open.
Suspension:
Rear suspension - pendular.
No front suspension.
Steering:
No auto-center. Using two rubber bands instead of Clutch-Gear. Gear Cluth 24 toothed apply failed because force at which the clutch scroll much more than a rubber band, which led to clicks and 8 toothed gear slipped through a worm gear.
In the presence of coupling model calls in the hill with a slope of 45-50 degrees. The rate of movement is small, owing to the many gears and gearboxes.
In the case of non-significant differentials may lighter construction and friction reduction, and increased reliability. Diffs staged solely to improve the playability and simulation of present-4wheel-drive transmission. Let your child know what is different from the real 4WD and SUV with opened diffs:))
The model is quite suitable for truck-Trial with disabilities commensurate with the model, as well as the rally (with some changes in the structure)
