April 20, 201311 yr Here is Zblj's YouTube video (posted ~15 minutes ago) of his LEGO Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6: It is "Heavily inspired by the real thing; it features: 6x6 wheel drive 4x lockable differentials 2 speed tranmsission powered by 2 RC motors Live axle suspension on all axles Portal axles Measures: Length: 54cm Width: 21 cm Height: 22 cm Weight: over 2kg Max speed : Approx 1m/s, 3,6km/h Max torque on axles: Approx 400N/cm Front wheel steering angle. Over 45°" Edited April 20, 201311 yr by DLuders
April 20, 201311 yr I love the two speed transmission, it seems to work really well. Off topic - the Warp Stabilizer tool (i am assuming you used this) produces a nasty jello and warp effect that makes the video somewhat nauseating to watch. If you change the stabilization method to position it prevents this. tim
April 20, 201311 yr Great build, obviously. What make me wonder very much is how you guys let your Lego's ride on dirt and on rocks which scratches them? Are you really don't care? Or you are so rich that you can order new parts anytime? When I was a child all my toys (not Lego) were very soon broken because I played them heavy, often outdoors. Now I'm 37, and I enjoy my quite new Lego hobby, and I love my toys, I keep them in their shiny mint condition. I plan to get some PF soon and to build some RC cars and sure I'll use them indoors only, low speed, not sure if I'll even let them ride on the floor
April 20, 201311 yr Great creation as always zblj some nice ideas in there too Great build, obviously.

April 20, 201311 yr i've broken u-joints, ground gear teeth, and scratched panels/liftarms on the bottom of my MOCS, but it's all good fun and easy to replace...or leave scratched pieces and re-use them to show off your 'battle scars' only pricey parts I've rendered useless are the 3l differential cases which I don't have too many of and are pretty expensive if you keep buying them.
April 20, 201311 yr Nice work! The suspension looks great. The soft springs makes the suspension look spectacular.
April 20, 201311 yr Author Thanks guys. I removed the youtube stabilization POS, because it does more damage than good. Glad you guys like the truck. The only downside like the real thing is its apetite for fuel... Need more batteries!
April 20, 201311 yr Techicaly rich realization of nonusual car! I dont care that it doesnt look like copy, but technical part is awesome! Going to make russian blog post with your MOC;) You inspired me to build something with RCunit.
April 21, 201311 yr This is a fantastic model! I'm loving that 2 speed. So that's why I can't find any 6x6 dishes, you have them all! You have inspired me to continue my work on RC gearboxes. Cheers
April 21, 201311 yr The power is stupendous. Considering the weight and complexity of the vehicle, its performance is remarkable.
May 5, 201311 yr There's a crown gear in the front! Could you have used a 36 tooth gear instead? That weak little gear might break.
July 16, 201311 yr Zblj, how you made that your HUGE Benz 6x6 Amg steered by RC unit's Servo? It is heavy and, servo's output rotates only 45 degres - it is not enough, or????
July 16, 201311 yr I really like this model, in particular its realism and great performance it can develop. Great work.
July 16, 201311 yr Zblj, how you made that your HUGE Benz 6x6 Amg steered by RC unit's Servo? It is heavy and, servo's output rotates only 45 degres - it is not enough, or???? In my opinion he used the gear connected to the servo motor to increase the number of revolutions final.
July 16, 201311 yr Author No, the Output of the RC unit moves a switch. That switch is powered by drive motors and controls an M mmotor which steers.
