Posted April 24, 201113 yr So, I guess Daniel should be seeing those around a lot (apologies for the size of the photos, but I kept them reasonably lightweight): I'm not an expert on Humvees, but it didn't take long for me to realize that my first H1 model wasn't really good, so this is the second one. This time in a proper colour, with more attention to details, and finally with a realistic suspension: full independent with portal axles. As the suspension system uses only basic Technic parts, it was quite a task. Additionally, there is a 2-speed heavy duty remote controlled gearbox which you can copy from the instruction at my website and use as you wish. The model was designed with a Truck Trial race in mind, it has participated in one, it managed to drive successfully through one section and then a fatal damage to the drivetrain occurred - namely, some 8-teeth gears that I meshed in a row, apparently not thinking clearly, got grinded. Redesigning the drivetrain would be too much work, so I won't be developing this model any further. Gallery And the video:
April 24, 201113 yr I have followed your FB progress on this, and it was enjoyment! This Humvee is superior in every aspect than your previous one, except maybe driving performance, specifically twisting the axles. Black color is very appropriate for this vehicle. I am not sure how would it look with black wheels, but I guess...good. Combination of aesthetic and complex mechanic at its best! Keep up Paul!
April 24, 201113 yr I also followed the FB progression of this and was impressed with how life like the model turned out to look. I have used your gear box in a few on my TrTr and it always works great.
April 25, 201113 yr great work ... looks like alot of time and effort went into this build and it shows
April 25, 201113 yr One more time you break the limits! Technic and model team fans will love you! Thanks Paul!
April 27, 201113 yr Another outstanding model. You have combined Technic and Model team type building to make a very well built model. Paul
