1gor Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 This ended up really good (of course arm is on the way). Perhaps arm could be used to lunch spears or similar weapons; it is Mad Max theme after all... Quote

This gives just enough for the jib and claw movements, so no room for any more functions lol. Quote

You could add some manual weaponry around the truck, heaving shooters operatief with RC is a bit far-fetched anyways... Good looking build, looks smooth but with the right edginess here and there Quote

Good looking build, looks smooth but with the right edginess here and there Yeah, I'll consider it if I have time. I'll probably just leave it though, as I don't want it to look too "messy". The chains at the front and the oversized engine make it plenty Mad Max imo. Quote
JLiu15 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) UPDATE 2/22/20 The Halftracker has been completed! I had to make a last minute change of plans - I built a turret above the turntable instead of the claw arm. It was bending severely and putting lots of stress on the body. I should've known it from the start, as the weight of the arm was terribly imbalanced at the rotation point and there wasn't really a way to include an effective counterweight. The turret features motorized elevation and firing. The full list of functions/features: Driven tracks (2x PF L) Steering (PF Servo) Turret elevation (PF M) Missile firing (PF M) Turret rotation (PF M) Suspended tracks Oscillating front axle V6 piston engine (PF M) Opening doors Removable bed Video: Photos: Edited February 23, 2020 by JLiu15 Added video Quote
