Hi, here some short videos about steering system and suspension. You can see, that the gear tracks not very tight, so I´ll change this for next version. http://youtu.be/_aRbV8xeuTg http://youtu.be/V-Q-PYBTzDg Single suspension. http://youtu.be/g3p2buYT31o The chassis seems to be very stable. http://youtu.be/y77aftXtrm4 Greetz Markus

thx @ all Atm I´m changing the steering-system. The first one is to weak for trial. So I´ll make one without the geartracks. Video must wait.... Greetz Markus I only had a few LEGO technic parts, so I needed to design it first virtual, and then order the parts from BL. Greetz Markus Btw: The LDD-File in my signature contains already the new steering system. Version 10.5

thx @ Pat-Ard But still needs some optimizing....

The wild needs to wait a little

Yes, there are some points, that i need to fix but no errors. - The steering system works good, but seems too weak for trial. The small gear seems to slip over the gear rack sometimes if there ist too much resistance at the wheel. - The driving speed ist just to low i guess, but I´ll try another gear ratio in the portals. - Maybe the range of the absorbers, but as hrontos said, that seems ok for this kind of truck. - Maybe need to stabilize the setup of the wormgear for the drive But all in all looks pretty good Greetz Markus

thx for the pics hrontos.

thx @hrontos I´ve used the hard shock absorbers. There´s not really a push from the weight of the whole truck. But i guess the range of the absorbers was maybe too small. I´ve seen also some other things I need to optimize/change, but more after the last pics and testdrive Greetz Markus

@hrontos The Quadbike is really cool. I like it.

Hello again, so I can´t wait till x-mas *huh* I´ve made a new topic for building the truck. You can find it here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75238 Greetz Markus

Hello again, this is part 2 for my 8x8 TrialTruck. First part was design and optimize the truck virtual with Lego Digital Designer. You can find this topic here: Pure 8x8 TrialTruck Now, that I´ve got all parts received that i need (and can´t wait any longer for x-mas ), I´ll build the truck in real. This is where i wanna get to. This will not be a step by step building instruction with pics for the truck. Only want to show you, that I´m building it.Have fun watching. (more pics in my flicker photostream) Greetz Markus

thx @DLuders for the info

Yes, i´ve edited the modell, I uploaded new renderpics for it. If will be rejected the next hours, i´ll try it your way hrontos. Thanks for your help. Greetz Markus Edit: Now its on "Accepted" again.... I think they have a little problem with the gallery website.

Thx for your help. Greetz Markus

Is there a contact possibility directly to an Ambassador for the Contest ?

The skull is an official Lego part which is available in LegoDigitalDesigner. Now the reject message tells me: Your creation is Off-topic. I don't understand why. Greetz Markus

Thx. But Lego has rejected my model. I'm not sure why. The rejection message says: Your creation cannot contain copied materials. Is anyone able to tell me what they mean? Greets Markus

At least one of the LEGO technicans will find a solution for those changings i guess.

@DLuders thx, I like the color also much. Time that LEGO makes panels in this color Greetz Markus

Hi, wanna present you my new model for the challenge Greetz Markus

But also lot of fun ...

@Zblj Do you use any kind of angle limitation for the tracks, so that they won´t flip over while climbing ? I´d like your idea and style, but I also think it´s not the best way to use steerable tracks. Greetz Markus

So now I´ve got almost all parts i needed to build the truck. Only a few parts left. Do you know this feeling..... :cry_happy: Greetz Markus

My last render with PovRay 3.7 Image Greetz Markus

I like the backpart of the body very much also think of Grave Digger the First time I saw it. But i bet you can do the front hood much better. Try it... All in all a very cool design. Greetz Markus
