Hi, EB friends, long time no see. The first time to build a Lego car entirely by Studio 2, locked at home for a month because of the COVID, a new experience. This model is Tianjin Dafa tj110 taxi, the original version is Daihatsu Hijet s70 850, I made the Dakar minivan, again. Two chassis, one is Buggy motor and the other is L, uses front twin A-arm independent suspension and a rear four-link solid axle. Dimension：L29 x W15 x H16cm，Weight：1100g Instructions for free Buggy motor version: https://reb.li/m/116376 Thanks ；） -
Good Day! Today I present to you a small-ish 1/11 scale MOC: Daihatsu Hijet S110P Introduction about the real thing: This truck belong to a japanese "kei" car category, and the 8th generation (which this model represents) was made between 1994 to 1999. It features a 660cc inline 3, 31kW EF-NS engine. LEGO model: -Scale: 1/11 -Power: CaDA conroller -Drive: L-motor, 4x4 -Steering: Servo motor, working steering wheel -Working headlamps -Openable doors with locks -Front strut suspension -Rear "leaf spring" suspension (flexaxles) -Openable glovebox -Openable rear hatch and bed side walls Wanted to build one of these for quite some time, but the wheel choice was tight - either too wide or just too big. Having made the custom 49.5x14 tyres back in April, they seemed a perfect choice, and now that they're official parts, even better. The finished build is quite front heavy, as it is to expect, but as a result of this, the suspension is an abolute delight to play with, and is quite responsive. The front axle is a reworked version of the one I made in "Desert Rally car" several years ago. Unfortuntaly, LEGO CV joints are prone to popping out, and the new ones are useless due to how big they are. This means that every now and then the truck becomes wither 3x4 or RWD, but the truck pulls through without much issue. For control, I ended up using CaDA block, as it has a physical remote and it's much more fun that way. Nonetheless, it is mounted using the anti-studs on the bottom, so BuWizz is a drop-in replacement. PF AAA battery box can also be used with minor mods. Front bumper posed major challenge to me, as I'm not very well-versed in bricking. Technic solutions looked ugly, and using a brickbuilt grille didn't look good either. Had to use the 1x2 grille tile as a solution, which ended up frowing on me in the end. There's a little SNOT to get everything to allign, but mostly it's just plates&tiles.
