z3_2drive Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Looks great, love the compact axles and steering Quote
JM1971 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 From the outside you would never guess there was 2 motors and a servo in there, impressive use of bricks. Quote
legomuppet9 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Beautiful functional model as always piterx great job Quote

skriblez Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Cool video :) Your cat wasn't impressed :P This little car of yours really is fantastic i think :) Quote
Doc_Brown Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Awesome outdoor test! Love the looks and super compact suspension. Functions are great and really good speed. Well done! I preferred the first area, seems a bit more varied terrain. :) Shame about the rain. haha Quote
JM1971 Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 For a small car it flies over rough ground :D Does your camera have auto-steady or is that done during editing? Quote
piterx Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Cool video :) Your cat wasn't impressed :P This little car of yours really is fantastic i think :) my cat is a lazy guy XD Awesome outdoor test! Love the looks and super compact suspension. Functions are great and really good speed. Well done! I preferred the first area, seems a bit more varied terrain. :) Shame about the rain. haha yeah i preferred soil too....mainly because i shouldn't have scratched L motors and some beams ... For a small car it flies over rough ground :D Does your camera have auto-steady or is that done during editing? oh yes it has auto-steady....my hand Quote
skriblez Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 my cat is a lazy guy XD Mine to but she is a bit curious and skeptical of the 41999 and 9398 when they drive around :P Quote
Rockbrick Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Excellent little car... A school friend of mine had a real red 4x4 panda and it was unstoppable in the snow... Quote

timslegos Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 I am actually surprised by the off road handling! nice work. tim Quote
z3_2drive Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Great video! @ l motors is definitely enough if not overkill for a small model like this And don't be mad at scratched beams and motors, they are battle scars, as I call them Quote
AndyCW Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 If I got upset about scratched parts, I would have quit trying to build off road vehicles a long time ago. Hell, right now I have my soldering iron out and am fixing that annoying current limiting device on my battery box. I love the little car. It follows with something I have been trying recently. We can only get so much power out of these components and the only purist way to get better power density is to downscale the projects. v/r Andy Quote

Rikus Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) thanks man! ahah try to imagine the faces of other guys if i go to a truck trial competition with that car xD Imagine the faces of the other guys when someone go to a real uphill race or to an off-road competition with that car! :) The Panda 4x4 is a real climber, the offroad performance are so good that also the Italian Forest Service is using it! yeah i absolutely agree with you! i think i should make some instructions for this chassis and share it...i didn't expect such offroad performances till i took it for a ride...i've never tested it before it was complete are you guys interested? it may take a while because i still have to finish the Polaris ones....but i think i can make them :) I would definitely be interested!

JM1971 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Same here, racing these babies against each other would be very cool :) Quote
skriblez Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I would definitely be interested to! This thing is awesome. Quote
piterx Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 then i will make them :) you just need to wait that i finish the polaris instructions first...or at least the ldraw of it :) Imagine the faces of the other guys when someone go to a real uphill race or to an off-road competition with that car! :) The Panda 4x4 is a real climber, the offroad performance are so good that also the Italian Forest Service is using it! I would definitely be interested! eheh the forest guard livery was an option at first :D but i will make it for something else one day or another...it goes into the TODO list ps: di dove sei ? Quote
JM1971 Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 When everything goes right, the right size wheels, the right motors, gearing and weight distribution then it really becomes more than the some of its parts, really excellent design. Quote
Rikus Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 ps: di dove sei ? Di Chiavari (provincia di Genova) :laugh: Quote
Doc_Brown Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Thats really nice! Is it the Italian police that have green police cars? Just wondering. Quote
