So photorealistic! The grill on rear is phantastic! How do the cylinders work?

Already started building my machine :)

Woah, Lego really lost its way if they will relase that set....

Yes, thank you. Could you also add mass and tyre type to calculate climbing angle?

Gotta check this out! EDIT: Okay i played arround with the program. I think we need one more dimension for center high point, because most trucks are higher in center than by axles. Also ability to put more toothgears one after another would be nice to calculate efficiency of the driveline.

200 what? €, $, chickens?

Too bulky, too much friction... And beside TT's usually use solid axels, not independent suspension. Only good for nicjasno's cars, but they were sanded and the car uses some heavy non lego mods.

Yeah box, extension cable . and PF's. If the IR receiver doesnt start up, than quickly change polarity

You dont need all that fancy wirring... Just use the old 9V battery box, one extension/adapter cable and 2 small pieces of alu foil. You put two msall pieces of foil to cover the front 2 and rear 2 conrtacts and place the PF receiver on top to *squeeze* it into contact. Than you just ahve to watch out for polarity and it works. I used this technique in my mini offroader.

The coupling allows a range of 30 degrees of movement. Its a a little to big to be used in any models, its just a demonstration :)

This coupling basically consists of two u joints placed inside each other. To split the angle of the driveshafts between both u joints i used a flex cable. This way both u joints are at half the whole cupling's angle and cancel each other out. Coupling at an angle The coupling's angle split between both u joints: Video of its workings:

Such a simple, yet elegant steering! I like the way you used springs, to gain higher steering angle on the arm!

Truck is very fast and colorful! I suppose the teal color makes it at least 20% faster :) But what impressed me the most is the camera buggy! I suppose you bought 3 meters of USB cable just for this. Good filming and editing!

I made instructions for the truck in LDD. There are wheels, 2x 4L racks and 2 new suspension arms missing. Replace one of the 24 tooth gears with a white clutch gear.

After i changed the gear ratio in the wheels, the speed is now arround 30 cm/second.

So its a body for you new chassis? Looks good, but the M motor ruins the streamlining.

Not really... After you build as long as i have, things just somehow fit with no problems. It took me some 8 hours to build this mode.

Nah, it will be driving on flat surface. Your comment is really funny :)

This is what i built for exhibition. It features 8 wheel drive, articulated steering, 2 LA's for dumping the load and a unique system for totaing wheel pairs. This systema llows the truck to increase its ground distance for rough terrain. I later refined axles for higher gear ratio. Video:

I think i want bigger LEGO wheels. Any instructions on how to build a bigger lego wheel?

Very impressive for such a large model! How is the steeing? I suppose you didnt use differentials?

I posted my Lynx:

Got one, you can delete this thread!

This is a hack, i didnt make. It adds a lot more pieces and colors to LDD. Use it for modeling only!
