No idea as I have never built something this big before 7-8kg maybe considering the landship and the franknbase (but it won't be as good) only the front link to larger image. there are 2 motors in the middle for driving the front axles and 2 sticking out the sides Indeed but the front axle was bending in the middle.

I have removed the front suspension however but I would like some suspension in the rear. I built the rear (and front) axles IRL and I was impressed with how strong it was - 3kg before it started to bend (the front needed a little more strengthening 1.2kg) Yes this is correct. Perhaps but I an trying to keep it light not heavy but solid. (It's healthier for my wallet)

Thank you grum. Haha I doubt my wallet will recover from other parts for a while but I already had all and more PU stuff.

The idea was having a lift to lift the vehicles up onto the top platform. Still, they might slip anyway. Yes this is probably the best idea. But there isn't much room at the rear axles to make them steer. I know they are stiffer and I recently picked up quite a few old ones so I might integrate them. However I don't have any 5x5 and 6x8 bricks. Ok, ok. I will rebuild this version (partly because that means I don't have to order 4 more turntables.) This would require more wheels as I only own 8 large tractor tires and they don't come cheap, $8.26 AUD each on PAB. Still I know that this is the voice of experience speaking. Yes, I have some experience with not testing between stud.io and the "reality of plastic parts". Thank you, yes this was my intent in starting a WIP topic. It is a win for me too because I get good input from people who know their stuff.

no they I don't. ;) we are up to at least 3 screamers! -
Maybe not but it might drive over some grass. EDIT it might have to be an outdoor-vehicle given the size. I was planning pendular suspension: That's probably a good idea but I'll see how I go. (Not trying to be rude or arrogant.)

@Philtech thanks Time for an update! I have redesigned the rear axles to have a lower gear ratio. (Because I put the 12 + 28 tooth gears in the wrong way around.) I have also come up with a design for the front axles. It is possible to build it IRL I then linked them together: and attached them to the chassis: but I forgot the suspension for the front axles... so I will have to redesign them.

This is probably optimistic, but I am in the planning stage of building a massive landship /vehicle transporter. I do plan to build it for real after I complete the studio model. These are the functions I would like to have. The 1st pic is certain - drive, steer, lift. The 2nd pic are functions that would be nice to have - secret door and crane. The 3x19 frames are just to show the distance. This is what i have so far: This all started when I saw this video in my YouTube feed. Then a little while later this came up and so then I wanted to make my own version of a landship In more detail. This is the rear axle: This is the lift mechanism in more detail. The backboard of the lift would be removed for the secret door to have vehicle storage under the deck a bit like an aircraft carrier: Also feel free to suggest a better name for the vehicle. I am keen for suggestions and feedback. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

ok I'll stop my crappy OpenOffice doc yours sounds waaaaay better I didnt even know that there was an issue with TC18 -
No it doesn’t. My previous tow truck looked way worse and was weaker. I would love more info on it.

yeah i remember that project. it would be good to see a retry of it. I saw that ages ago and would love even a stud.io file of it. I didn't up it, saperPL did

very nice chain that could be interesting to build I also thought about building a mechanism from my window but never carried through with it
