[MOC] RC Lego X-MAXX - crawler edition

[Marxpek]

Me again: silly video..

reused my X-MAXX bodywork and turned it into a crawler/offroader with rc-grade tires:

i wanted to avoid using cv-joints here, so i made a bulky, but very capable and strong solution for that; i made both front motors and hub assemblies pivot for steering.

The rear axle is just a "solid axle" (without the actual axle..) and the linear actuators are used as longer versions of the 6L or 9L links, yes they do slighty change length when the axle twists compared to the body, but it is not noticeable at all.

it drives fairly fast for it's kind but has torque to spare, and if you drive it well, something i clearly can't.. it will go about anywhere,

Awesome build! Though it is kind of scary how much better this is than the non-LEGO RC trucks I had as a kid...
