Tommy Styrvoky Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Lego AEC MK.II Armored car (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I present my first 4x4 vehicle that I have ever built, It features a 2 speed gearbox that is driven by 2 XL motors. The HI-gear is a 1:4.5 and LO-gear is a 1:12.505 (portal hub reductions included.) Both axles are fully suspended and allow the vehicle to crawl over obstacles. it has 2 m motors for controlling the traverse of the turret and one for gun elevation/depression. It was an interesting build because all of the electronic components had to be kept in a central column of the body, in order to make room for the odd angles of the hull. With this model I was also able to take it outside and drive it in some snow, It handled relatively well, though the lego tires would slip quite often.

weavil Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Execellent job as always. What are the final deminsions? Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted December 5, 2014 Author Posted December 5, 2014 Execellent job as always. What are the final dimensions? it's 25x65x21 studs Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Looks great, was it necessary to gear it down so much, I supposevit is quite heavy, what is the final weight? It is also quite unique, I don't recall seeing something similar built in Technic. Best regards, Miha Quote

Best regards, Miha It's somewhat heavy, approximately 5 lbs and it requred 4 yellow hard shock absorbers for the rear axle. Quote

weavil Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 It looks like some ARMY prototype RC gun. Quote
