What's the goal with this project? Some kind of off-road tow truck?

It looks like you're learning fast and having lots of fun with Technic, and I'm glad to see it!

Yes i do learn fast and i do have really fun time building it's my passion time goes by flying when i build:) 

[Auroralampinen]

Well the day has come my first moc with gen2 instructions and this was my learning tool for learning to use studio v2 much better:)

Well little bit testing of the tow function:) 

[Auroralampinen]

Well the first gearbox design didn't satisfy me so i started overhauling the gearbox:)

You can use U joints to replace all those 12/20t gears that aren't braced at all. Unless the direction of rotation of those shafts flipping around is mission critical I can't think of any good reason not to use U jounts instead.

[Auroralampinen]

Well after a ton of thought process later i decided to scrap the useless raisedable suspension 

[Auroralampinen]

Well i started another project to improve my design and body work skills and learn how to make better looking models i think it looks a little bit better than the jesko:) 

And yes if this little demon;) gets instructions i will fine tune the colors on instructions version so it would look more appealing:) 

[2GodBDGlory]

That does look pretty nice so far!

[Auroralampinen]

Well little bit more work in the mechanical side this has 3+R gearbox:) 

[Auroralampinen]

Little bit more sculpting later and it seems like my little demon is builded slightly bigger scale than the jesko:) 

[Aurorasaurus]

I think on the front nose area you could replace the 2 white #3 connectors with the panel with that same curve (like the front of the jesko has in the middle) unless you prefer that look it has currently.

I like the A pillars.

Well that curved panel does not exist in white that is little bit sad

Yes it does, in the white jesko in the same place as the gray one.

Oh thank you. Well the white one is pretty rare set. At least in my country. Nearest store wich sells them is about 200km away. (Yes i know internet exist. But i like pick up my sets on store shelfs and not online) :)

Interesting, I didnt know the white one was rare but now that I've tried to look for it a little bit online it is. Thats really odd. Thanks for sharing that :)

Also, thank you for using more punctuation recently, it really helps me read your posts.

Yes it is really baffling why it is so rare. Because i live in city where there are about 150000 peoples. And we have great selection of stores. But none of them sells the white version. And the nearest town wich sells them. Is about 200km away. So its kind of baffling that i live in huge city. (At least for my country standards). And yet the white version is not sold in my city:(

[Auroralampinen]

More sculpting later:) 

[Auroralampinen]

More progress. And i have started design the rear, the cool wings. And yes this is really long:) 

And in case you have questions where my car design came from. My car was modeled and inspired by 1994 porsche 911 turbo:) 

[Auroralampinen]

Well now the rear is done. Now i have to fix the little bit ugly doors for something better:) 

Well i cannot still get over how beautiful this is. The silhouette is so good. And while this is as long as a titanic. The lines flow soo nicely. This is my most beautifullest car what i have designed:) 

[Auroralampinen]

Well while i was cycling i got an idea for the door design, so i will start to design that:)

[Auroralampinen]

Well happy days. The model is done. Now i will tackle to make perfect gen 2 instructions for this model(of course free, as usual) and i have to create catchy name for this:) 

And sneak peak for the weight of my model. The jesko feels like a feather, compared to my model;) 

[Auroralampinen]

Ok i have a weird bug on my studio v2. I tryed to fit the flex axle, and then something happened. And now i cannot connect anything, aarghh. So i have to re done my entire work. Well this is a true pain

[Auroralampinen]

Well it seems my studio v2 has a really bad day. Because i cannot connect axles anymore, even in new page. This is really frustating and true pain. So i will check tomorrow if i can get the studio v2 working, if not i will delay the instructions for future date:(

[Auroralampinen]

Well i checked now the studio v2 and nope it wont work the axles wont connect so sadly i have to sadly delay the release for the instructions 

[Auroralampinen]

Ok i reinstalled studio and nope it did not fix it im now really baffled what happened:/
