Aurorasaurus Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Inspired by the mad max ripsaw from fury road, I've been working on a muscle car with tracks. I haven't built anything with tracks for years, so I'm aiming for robustness and fun rather than realism and complexity. For that reason, I have no suspension on the tracks, just a tension system which can also adjust the stance of the vehicle, operated by linear actuators. Originally I was going to have suspension, but I found the tracks were coming off when not even driving.. I don't fully expect to finish this, but it's been fun to just play around with a silly concept so far. I'm thinking about a 2 speed gearbox, I want to try use the planetary hub in a gearbox with dual clutch rings so the hub doesn't cause extra resistance when not in use, not sure yet though... Also, I made a studio file for the bodywork if anyone wants it: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-222028/Aurorasaurus/offroad-muscle-car-body/#details Thanks for reading- I'm feeling a bit shakey about this build so some ideas/encouragement would be appreciated...

Lixander Posted May 28 Posted May 28 (edited) Looks very good! For making it sturdier, maybe you can try to move the track inwards or/ and make them shorter, in order to place them under the body. Edited May 28 by Lixander Quote
damian_kane_iv Posted May 28 Posted May 28 This is going to be interesting when you finish it for sure Quote
