Thanks a lot for this complete feedback, make me happy to learn it

I'm sorry but I don't and now the truck is disassembled. However you can take a look at the beginning of my instructions, there are a few pictures where you can see and count the main parts.

Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it :)

Hi, It just makes me happy to learn that it serves you! Have fun during the building and keep us informed of your progress

Hi! Nobody tried to build it ? I would have liked a few feedbacks about it!

Yes I think they fit pretty well here. Moreover ballon wheels are just disproportionate for this use.

I haven't mesure it sorry, now the truck is disassembled Anyway I have to be honest: I have setup the truck with a very good steering angle, but in extrem positions (steering and suspension to the max) the front wheel might slip onto the frame (that's not embarrassing anyway). To fix it you just have to enlarge the steering angle by putting stops on the first rack. Yes you can put these wheels, but it will be less pretty for sure However don't know if they will slip more or less in extrem position than regular wheels. You have to try.

Building instruction here: https://goo.gl/photos/KDaVV6wXCfMGKbyP9 My first one so it's possible that you will find some mistakes, however if you succeed the building, I will enjoy in return some pictures of the truck ! Don't hesitate to write a little review then

Thank you all for your comment, it always make me happy to read feddbacks I'm glad to read this, because that's exactly what I want to do with this MOC ! Just want to sacrificed neither look nor performance. The Dakar designation refers to the rollcage on the back, it reminds me a truck in a game called "Rigs of Rods": But in fact that's true, it looks like a trial version. I am making building instruction I hope you will enjoy it!

Hello all, I want to present you my first MOC: it's a red Tatra t-813 8x8, short cab, Dakar version. I wanted this truck to have either great look and performance. That mean that's not a trial truck, but it can of course ride over little obstacles! I have imposed upon myself theses constraints: the truck needs to have 81mm wheels and be propulsed by only one XL motor. It steers with a M motor. It weights 1,83kgs ! Propulsion: XL 12/20 - 8/24 - 12/12 pr 20/20 - 8/24 wheels. Steering: M 8/40 - 12/rack and links for first axle, - 12/20 - 16/16 - 12/rack and links for second axle. The turning radius is pretty good compared to the truck size.. The suspension is provided by 8 springs, one per wheel. Yellow springs for front axles and gray for rear ones. As you can see, the cab is largely copied from Madoca's Tatra, and this for one reason: this cab is is the best I have seen in studless ! However, I allowed myself to adapt it to my scale, and I modified it. I have added some details for example position lights on the bumper or blinkers on each side. On the frame I built a sort of Dakar rollcage. I have tried to do my best in building details like the rear bumper and fuel tanks. Thanks for reading!
