Posted December 26, 20177 yr Hi to all fans of Lego! Today I want to share with you my new work - Rock Rod Rock Rod - it's the crawler, on the construction of which I was inspired by the fierce custom projects from HAUK Designs. Especially, where, no matter how on the crawler to run a fresh RC DC chequered flag STT PRO rubber wheels and BuWizz. At the output was a relatively light on the portal bridges crawler. At the heart of the model is also the philosophy of placing motors on bridges, to reduce the center of gravity and minimize weight and inertia of the body. Technical characteristics of the model: Weight (together with a technic-figure) - 817 g. Number of parts - 617 pcs. Steering - Servo motor Movement - two L motors Power / Control - BuWizz Even the "sofa" trial allows us to understand that additions such as non-standard tires and BuWizz significantly expand the scope of use and possibilities of radio controlled Lego models. It remains to wait until the snow comes down, to ride Rock Rod on the rocks. But you can do this before me, by building the Rock Rod yourself by free video instruction. I plan to test the model in the spring on a severe off-road. I will be very glad to hear from you any advice or wish for the completion of both the technical component of the model and its appearance. Ahead is still half a year :) Edited December 26, 20177 yr by filsawgood

December 26, 20177 yr I like the simple yet aggressive appearance of this crawler, it looks like it will perform quite well outdoors. Thanks for the instructions! Only question: what size are those tires, and where did you get them? I would love to have a set like those that would fit my 42037.

December 27, 20177 yr I love your style of custom car models! Also exhaust-turbo-intake looks like working design, not just cool decoration without any idea how it work in real life Edited December 27, 20177 yr by rm8
December 27, 20177 yr Very cool, I may build it at some point. Reminds me of the Jeep Quicksand Concept.
December 28, 20177 yr That's pretty great looking, I love the non-traditional mounting of the drive motors. This is also the first time I have seen someone use those tires for Lego, and they seem to work well. Those perpendicular gears in the rear axle, though, worry me. Have you had any issues with gear slippage there?

Have you had any issues with gear slippage there? Specifically, with overloading, this will give the slack and slip. But, I must say that in all Lego off-road cars, everything lies in the limit of durability, and snapping gears and broken cardans this and the real off-road vehicles, consumables
