[MOC] SUV Racer Mk II

[KirTech LAB]

New outdoor videos:

 

Hi! Last weekend we had awesome fest in Moscow, and I've tested my new MOC there. It is the second generation on my SUV Racer. The first one had four buggy-motors and two RC-units. Now the model has two BuWizz receivers.

To save pleasant proportions I used Rally Fighter as a basis (I had no goal to copy bodywork of this car). I've started with chassis:

The model has no transmission - just a reduction in portal hubs. Servo motor for steering. Independent suspension with hub-mounted buggy-motors.

The most complex task for me is a bodywork:

The model has opening doors (rare feature in my models ))):

Weight - 2.6 kg, length - 56 cm.

And here is the first test-drive:

Thanks for watching!

Fortunately I had a chance to see you driving this monster in the event. Amazing model. I especially love the bodywork. It looks like a Moby Dick, but also runs unbelievably fast!

I’m not much into the fast RC-model scene I’m afraid, but I just love that smooth and tidy bodywork

Great work! By just looking at the bare chassis I can say with certainty that it must be as sollid as concrete  Great job on the panneled bodywork too! The only thing missing is a video of the suv conquering some more extreme terrain, where it's ultimately built for.

I thought that too, I don't understand how one whole assembly was able to break in the video 
And so much power, I wonder how frequently you had to charge the BuWizz ?

@desert752 only mistake was to let me drive 

The only reason for breaking was my driving abilities 
There was one weak place - steering links, and other chassis solutions can handle much more damage

There were two BuWizzes in original setup, but in this video there were four BuWizzes + powerbank (you can see some big ugly rectangle in the "trunk"

Thanks for kind words!

Yes, steering system has weakness, but after all it was really heavy impact.

I plan to film outdoor video too. Also I plan to assemble the second one with Chinese buggy-motors to test them in real conditions.

Looks great! My first thought without having read the description was that it looks like a Rally Fighter, so I guess your inspiration shows through in the final design!  Great set of features packed in there, and aesthetically it's lovely.  As Jeroen said, the bodywork is tidy and beautiful!

Is there any chance of seeing building instructions, or just a virtual model, of this amazing beast, at any time in the future?

Fantastic model..love the speed!!

I have MlCAD file for the chassis. No bodywork. I can share it, if it's interesting for you )

I'm 100% sure I'm not the only one interested! Anything you can share here for all will be greatly appreciated by the community!

Hi! The winter is very warm this year, but we've filmed a few videos. Here is the first one :)

So awesome! I don't recall where I got this, but did you say you're using this car as a platform for comparing old Danish buggy motors with new Chinese ones?

Thanks! I plan to do the comparison, but the weather is very unfriendly :) Regarding ice drift, Lego motors seem better.

I always knew that white & orange colours looks cool!

yes, that warm ice makes me feel like I'm breaking a sweat already :)

but anyway that is one epic looking capable vehicle 

[murtaughf3]

Very cool. I'm curious, how long does the process of building something like this take?

Thanks! I'm not sure, about 1-2 weeks.

Hi! During my vacation, I’ve tested Lego Technic SUV Racer in the Khibiny Mountains. I’ve added two extra BuWizz receivers and double wheels. Have a fun and enjoy a beautiful nature :)
