I am making a mini crawler, it is 4-wheel drive, have flex axle suspension (need to buy the flex axles), and steering. I need to get flex axles and a smaller battery box. I also need to make a better body. This is based of a H1 Hummer like this: http://www.thehummerguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/img_8875.jpg I based some of my frame of a Pego Suzuki Samurai Rock Crawler http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=136280 but not much. Thank you anyways Pego.

I may be able to buy the flex axles today.

I will be gone for a week but next time I post my crawler body should be done.

This is the right way to start, it was a good choice to take Pego's chassis as base.

It is small, but interesting, good learning material!

With some fine tuning, your bodywork will be also better, maybe like an old american truck. :)

Please make test video too.

I am making a roll cage body.

I need to finish the body and get flex axles and a battery box but here is video.

Sorry for bad video.

Looks great! Nice to see someone uses the LDD files I'm making

The front axle seems great, but you should lengthen the steering rack by 2 studs if possible, so that it doesn't get reverse ackerman.

Also the bodywork seems a little narrow, I'd maybe widen it by 2 studs.

I ordered my parts so I will do a update in a week.

Nice looking,

The steering looks nice and rigid.

I would consider moving up to the 62.4mm D. x 20mm tires (from the Mercedes Arocs set) as it will not only have better ground clearance, but it will also have better performance.

It depends on the situation, here I'd keep these tires as larger ones raise the COG and makes it prone to tipping, also the ground clearance seems fine. Better performance? Depends, for rocks sure, but mud, sand and other stuff not so much, it's all down to preference.

Also larger tires means more torque through the cv joints making them pop easily.

So keeping those tires is my advise.

Hi guys I'm back! I may get the parts tomorrow.

Hi, I am sorry for not posting sooner but I have been moving and just been able to work on it. I will post pics soon but I have redone the front suspension and made the chassis stronger.

New suspension and video will be posted soon

Nice to know that, the axle looks very robust.

I got the video sorry for the wait but flickr was having problems yesterday.

I made a mockup of the battery box I want to get and where it will be.

I mean that it was nice to know that the video was coming, and the vehicle is looking nice by the way.

If you are using the 9V battery box the IR will not work.

If you use an old Lego battery box that was made before Power Functions the Infrared Receiver will not turn without bridging the tabs like this
