May 5, 201311 yr Most extreme monstertrucks are actually fueled by a mixture of turpentine, whiskey, and gasoline/diesel, so I suppose vodka could work too "Everything is allright with enough vodka." But the model looks very nice!
May 5, 201311 yr Wow. This is really a huge beast. I am so impressed. The design is very good and all, but ... - the truck is very front-heavy. I know that. But I think, this is bad for the performance, steering and the suspension. - the trailer suffers from the large weight and the last axle isn't even touching the ground. - the ramp of the trailer needs a redeseign in my opinion. I guess it should go straight from pivot point to the ground, without having the step. That would lower the angle the tank has to overcome.

However, I felt this was too simple and I wanted to try out a 4-bar linkage here.
May 6, 201311 yr An ingenious model. The pictures are very detailed. Maybe you can someday Manuals available for purchase with you. Looking forward to it.

Well, more complex often isn't better ;) But, I would guess it should be "easy" for you to find a solution that uses this mechanism AND create a straighter ramp. Or not?
