March 27, 20168 yr Author Update time!! I have upgraded the steering (so it works a lot better and so it has a good turning radius),tell me what you think. Also, I geared it down.
March 28, 20168 yr Author I need to put better suspension in the front, can you guys help me? I also need to put a body on it.
March 28, 20168 yr Imo, it is much better to try for yourself, 10 times if it is needed. You will get a lot of valuable experience and you will improve your build so much more. That is the beauty of the Lego. If you really feel the need for some inspiration, try looking at the official models, chassis, suspensions and drivetrains, and after that try checking out some of the models that people built.
March 28, 20168 yr I agree with Milan. Trying yourself is the best help you can get. It makes you understand why things don't work, or do work.
March 28, 20168 yr Author Update time! I have made a temporally body (its not that good) and I have made the frame 2 studs wider. Then it took a selfie with my cat:) Oh by the way, I do not have a hamster. lol Edited March 28, 20168 yr by Lego2016Lego
March 28, 20168 yr I think It might make a good trail truck but looks can be deceiving some times. The body looks good but I think you need to add a flatbed to the back or wake the chassis thicker where it only has 1 stuff height.
March 28, 20168 yr Easy to test: - Can it run over your foot? - Can it climb a steep hill (30 degrees?) Those are usually the first 2 tests I do when I finished a trial truck, if I hear rattling, it's getting fixed with additional bracing or whatever is needed. The location of the battery box concerns me a bit though. Its current location makes it rear heavy and it's set pretty high, making the vehicle more likely to tumble on its side. Suggestion would be to move it between the front and rear wheels, perhaps "below" the bed (might sacrifice a bit of ground clearance). Edited March 28, 20168 yr by Appie
March 29, 20168 yr Nice. Battery box is pretty centered like that. Might be a bit high. Try it sideways on the 30 degree slope and see if it tumbles. If not, try a steeper angle and see when it tumbles. Pretty much anything will fall once you get closer to 45 degrees I think.
March 29, 20168 yr A friendly tip: There's no need to announce your pictures. Simply post something when you have made some progress and shot some pictures.
March 29, 20168 yr Author Update time! I have lowered the battery box by one stud, I have put wheels on the back, and I took pic's of how steep it can drive, please tell me how steep (by degrees) it is.
