Posted March 18, 201311 yr A little somthing i made last weekend. Like the real one it uses independent suspension in front and a live axle at the rear. In order to simplify design the rear axle also houses the 2 drive RC motors and the gearbox, opretaed by the geared 9V motor. Gearbox allows the truck to either climb up smaller hills with 1:3 gear ratio, or to reach some 15 km/h on the straights.
March 18, 201311 yr Great model, baja theme is popular this year:) I also started building process of trophy baja truck two weeks ago:) but my is smaller, lighter with one buggy motor. Now it is chassis with mototrs and rollcage:) cant finish it, cause every time I want to build - remote control comes to my hand and we begin to burn:D Edited March 18, 201311 yr by rm8

March 20, 201311 yr Author Here are more pictures: As you can see the geared 9V motor power a 16 tooth gear wia a worm gear. This way the truck cant slip out of gear. Also when the gear is engaged the worm gear has enough room to slpi, so there are no forces created on the ring gear to slow the motors The front suspension uses a 12 tooth gear with a 7L rack for steering. This way the steering angle of the wheels is some 20 degrees, but going fast its enough for the truck's body to roll a lot. And a pictures of the entire truck:
