Some might remember Mahjqa's topic where I made a chassis based on AutoBacon's MOC. This is the finished model:
It's driven by a PoweredUp City hub and 2 L-motors. The truck weighs 752gr (including batteries). It's downgeared with 2x 12:20 gear combinations (1 at the motor and 1 at each axle) which makes it pretty good at overcoming obstacles.
In case you wonder, the choice for knobgears was because I couldn't figure out something else that wouldn't skip in the available space. The half pins which are inserted into plates below the hub help with the structural integrity of the chassis. In the stud.io file I made for the chassis I had a 9L link across the width of the model in that area, but I later found out the front wheels might touch that construction during steering. I'll adjust this in the stud.io file.
Tried my best to give the model an interior. Below the black tile of the "seat" is the hub and liftarms that give the chassis its rigidity, so I didn't have much room to play with.
To turn on the model I need to use an axle to press the button below the "passenger's seat".
I would have loved to have a video for you, but I only have 1 phone which I use to control the model through the Brickcontroller app. @mahjqa has made some video's of an event last weekend where I used this little car (with slightly bigger front fenders), I hope he releases a video soon
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
