I’ve been troubled by the vulnerability of LEGO parts on heavy models for a long time. Especially some crucial parts related to drivetrains, like universal joint, bevel gear, etc. One solution I can think of is to distribute torque by using multiple drivetrains. Instead of using 2 groups of motors driving the wheels on each side respectively, I built a live axle chassis with a dual-drivetrain system. In this way we don’t lose the benefit of differential while cornering. I actually designed 2 experimental MOCs utilizing this system. Today I’m gonna show you one of them - Mitsubishi Pajero. Bodywork is based on the very first generation of Pajero series, which was introduced in 1982. Some details have been exaggerated for a better looking, like the bull bar, rooftop, and engine hood. This MOC is built more for aesthetic purposes. Due to wheelbase concern, it’s only rear-wheel drive. Luckily both front and rear suspensions are quite responsive, which will help just a little bit on tractions when driving off-road. Each drivetrain is driven by an L Motor, rotates in opposite directions, and together they drive a single differential. I also managed to put a 2-speed linear gearbox in it. some renders to show them all: Outdoor test: I never expected it to have a great performance given the fact that it is 2-wheel drive and those 62.4mm tyres have a really bad traction. I think it is acceptable for its configuration. More photos: Upcoming New MOC This new MOC is a 4x4 model with a similar but different drivetrain. It is still an unfinished prototype, but I can’t help giving you guys a sneak peek of it. Stay tuned and enjoy
