Posted July 7, 20168 yr Hey, Let me introduce my new MOC – Trophy Truck: Video: Features & Functions: Buggy motor for drive M-Motor for steering LiPo for power IR-receiver V2 Independent front suspension Twin beam steering system Dependent simple rear suspension So basically it's just another trophy truck, but I put a special steering system which is used in trucks with twin beam suspension.

July 7, 20168 yr Wow, this is amazing! The blue looks very nice. Do you think you might make instructions?
July 7, 20168 yr Very neat! I love the use 8L steering linkage to allow the rack to be above the suspension arms.
July 7, 20168 yr Looks cool! It looks like you have toe-in in the steering because of the 9l links pulling inwards your wheels Wait, have you connected both outputs of the buggy motor at 1:1 ratio?! It may damage the motor because they have different speeds! Edited July 7, 20168 yr by LXF
July 7, 20168 yr Good trophy truck ! The design is nice ! It is possible to have more information or pictures about your steering system ?
July 7, 20168 yr Author Wait, have you connected both outputs of the buggy motor at 1:1 ratio?! It may damage the motor because they have different speeds! No, of course not. It is connected to the rear output, and the gears are used to move the axle a bit forward. At first I planned to try the inner output for drive, but it overloaded the motor, so I had to somehow use another one.
July 7, 20168 yr Nice steering solution. And i like how truck is looking - all important included, no useless details.
July 7, 20168 yr THIS! :thumbup: Very cool and creative ideas implemented in this scale! I am also very interested in the steering system!
July 7, 20168 yr Nice and small Opponent for PiterX's small trophy truck Edited July 7, 20168 yr by rm8
July 7, 20168 yr Author Thanks all! You'll be able to see all the inner stuff, when I make an instruction for it.
July 7, 20168 yr Nice! Looking forward for instructions. It seems like I will use twin-beam steering system in my MOC:)
July 7, 20168 yr I love all about it, such a cool, compact and all inclusive design...very well done...! :-)
July 7, 20168 yr Awesome little truck man! Imagine how cool it would be setting up a race at this scale! I think ill build another one as soon as im done with the bike and the wrangler :)
July 8, 20168 yr I like to see the steering system too, small and proporcionated very difficult for the scale .
July 8, 20168 yr This model shines in its simplicity! Very good job! I also like the color scheme, but the front headlights look a little too "pussy" for me. A little more agressiveness wouldn't hurt it IMO. And the steering system is very smart, but does it suffer from toe-in or toe-out? I might wanna copy the suspension sometime.

July 8, 20168 yr Author And the steering system is very smart, but does it suffer from toe-in or toe-out? Actually there indeed are some 'troubles', sometimes it goes a bit wrong way. But as I created this truck for fun drive, I don't find it really problematic; personally, I'm delighted with the performance. Edited July 8, 20168 yr by paave
