Hi all. This is my latest MOC, A Racing Truck. It uses 1 PF XL motor for drive, 1 PF M motor for the steering and 1 battery box and 1 IR receiver. It has a working hood, working doors and a fake 4 cylinder engine with super charger. The suspension it uses is similar to the 8110 Unimog but they won't move like pendular suspension. They just go up and down. I only have one U-Joint so i had to improvise with the front suspension/steering. On with the pictures:

And a video of it:

And that it. I hope you liked it. :)

There is some nice functionality in your model! The old-fashioned "studded" body panels makes it look like the Racing Truck is dinged-up with rock dents!

Thanks Dluders.

I agree,I also like the studded design.

Looks great! Drives pretty well too.

It looks very good! Well done! I like it!

I like it.

I love it when MOCers build stuff with many different colors that don't match - that proves they are able to build great stuff with a more limited collection.

Which in turn makes me feel guilty of not building great MOCs with my huge collection, which would allow me to stick to any color I want.

I think you did a good job of disguising the PF components with the model.

I am wondering about the steering, it seems a little slow. Is the front axle particularly heavy? I would think that a medium motor would have enough torque that it could move a steering column fast enough for easy RC operation. I noticed in your video that you only turned the wheels while the vehicle was stationary.

I think a little washing wouldn't hurt these pieces.

Thanks for all the great comments all. :)

Thanks.

It actually works fairly well driving it and moving the wheels at the same time. I just didn't think to do that in the video.

The reason the steering is slow is because i used a couple of worm gears connected to a 24 tooth gear. you can just about see the worm gear in this picture:

Yeah most of my pieces need a clean. I just haven't quite gotten round to it yet.
