falconluan Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, Here is my newest MOC: A trophy truck. This moc is based on a trophy truck designed by TSCO, here is its introduction page: https://www.race-dezert.com/home/tsco-racing-aussie-trophy-truck-157676.html The specs: 2xL motor for drive 1 servo motor for steering Realistic and robust frame Double wishbone front suspension 3 link rear suspension Video: Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-50190/falconluan/tsco-racing-aussie-trophy-truck/#comments I'm trying to make the look of the car as authentic as I can, especially for the frame part. Here are some comparison pics: Am working on the shell now, please stay tuned. Any feedback is welcomed! Thanks for watching! Edited August 21, 2020 by falconluan Quote
JoshsTechnicWorkshop Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Looks great, realistic proportions. Will there be instructions or an lxf/io file? Quote

Jundis Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Oh man, this looks so great. I actually planned to do a similar truck with exactly these tires :D Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Was about to use these tires for a similar project, this looks amazing! Quote
Parazels Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Is it possible to replace the spare wheel if necessary? I don't remember whether the hubs are compatible with this kind of wheel, or not. Quote
Jurss Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Good start. Will those shock absrobers really work? Black one were soft, or You changed springs? Quote

Without the shell, they can support the weight barely enough. But with the shell putting on in the future, I may have to switch to the hard yellow ones. I'm trying to make the suspension as soft as possible to let the car bounce as the real ones. 1 hour ago, Parazels said: Is it possible to replace the spare wheel if necessary?

1gor Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Just one question; real trophy truck has 40" tires, so translated to your chosen tires it looks like you made 1:15 scaled MOC, or my calculations are were wrong? Quote

Your calculations are correct. Although I didn't aim for specific scale numbers, I simply use the tire as the scaler and accept whatever scales it ends up to make sure the overall proportions are correct. Quote

Usually the shocks on real Baja trucks are pre-compressed in order for it to keep contact to the ground even when jumping. Edited July 13, 2020 by JoshsTechnicWorkshop Added link. Quote

offroadcreations Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Really digging how accurate it is to the original, especially the rear suspension. Looking forward to the final result! Quote
agrof Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Is this the place, where people can praise a Trophy Truck? If so, I'll jump in! Quote
falconluan Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 Finally, the shell is finished! Again, some comparing shot with the real one: Since the original pure white shell is some dull, I also made a slightly more colorful one. Which one do you like? I'll make the instructions and put it onto RB. Thanks for watching. Any comment and feedback is welcomed! Quote
JoshsTechnicWorkshop Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Love it! Again, the proportions looks very accurate. Can't wait to see the car in action ! Quote
MangaNOID Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 In all honesty I think you now Have lamb dressed up as mutton...IMO. The paneling is ok...but it really ruins the beautiful chassis that you replicated exquisitely and seeing all the juicy technical details. I guess the panels add rigidity at least? Quote

Haha, the shell is there just to finish the look. Like the real one, the shell adds little rigidity, it is attached to the frame by 4 connection points on the roof only and can easily be removed/installed. The frame itself has enough rigidity to be played alone without the shell. 9 hours ago, JoshsTechnicWorkshop said: Love it! Again, the proportions looks very accurate.

Leonardo da Bricki Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) This is awesome, and personally, the appearance of the frame alone is much better than adding the shell. Excited for the video and instructions, I'd love to play around with this! Edited July 25, 2020 by Leonardo da Bricki EDIT: I can't English... Quote
Jundis Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Such a cool model! If it works as good as it looks, I can skip my plan on MOCing such a truck and wait for your instructions :-) Quote
dpi2000 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Haha,awesome,the frame part is really nice,整体分寸也把握的好.my English is so poor ;) Quote

I'm thinking of making another shell, maybe some one based on the newly released Ford Bronco, it will be a little more attractive than the current version Quote
