The 4wd Lego buggy model. The goal was to build a buggy with 68.7x34R wheels and with the narrowest track. The following technical solutions are used:
One buggy-motor is powerd by two parallel plugged PF battery boxes via two IR receivers.
Front and rear axels are connected to the shock absorbers withe the L-bar. The PF servo is used for steering. There is no differential gear. Both motors are mounted on the chassis. A short snow test-drive video (the temperature is -18C). The was very (...)

Welcome on Brick Truck Trial.com !
What is it ?
One electric motor, a bunch of gears, a fake motor, a steering wheel, a batterybox and a controler, a minimum of 4 wheels and a solid chassis, all this made out of LEGO(R) parts ? This strange assembly is actually a Trial Truck and if well built, capable to drive over muddy slopes in the forest ...

crawler v.4
26 November 2013, by zverThis is the 4th version of my lego crawler. The first version was build more then two years ago. I’ve used RC4WD Rock Crusher X/T 1.9 Tires on current model. Other changes are: 1. The main gear ratio is reduced from 1/1 to 12/20 2. The linear actuator is used in steering mechanism instead of of worm gear. It lets to make the front axel simplier and lighter. The cross-country ability has risen (...) -

An attempt at 1:10 scale version of my 4runner (Prado)
9 April 2013, by helipilot77I have been working on this truck if I’m honest, for the last decade but have set it aside multiple times in frustration. Finally I feel like the LEGO group has supplied us builders with the appropriate elements to build a 4WD truck that can tackle serious obstacles. I am a helicopter pilot living in Seattle and this is my first trial truck build. I am building a vehicle based on the body, wheelbase, width, and general characteristics of my 1987 Toyota 4runner of which I also have a 1:10 (...) -
snowy times call for help
19 February 2013, by AmericanLegoso here in NY we have just had some light snow. it is very powdery and getting up a snowy, cold, wet hillock is a massive challenge for my 4X4 crawler. it doesn’t have any diffs in it and it has a super low gear ratio (1:6) and the regular 94.8X44R wheels. im thinking about chains or studs in the tires. but i want to know what you think is the best way of conquering the snow.

Limited Slip Differential
3 February 2013, by technyk32In a trial truck, a differential offers a better turning circle, but they send all of the torque to the wheel with the least traction. One way to prevent this, while still having a decent turning circle, is a limited slip differential, or LSD. You can build one with the 4-studs wide differential with a setup like this idea by Sariel:
However, this idea is 6 studs wide, and works better in studfull constructions, so it is not very well suited for studless constructions. There is another way (...) -
Limited slip diff?
23 January 2013, by AmericanLegoso i have some cars with diffs in them and my crawler doesn’t. now the diff is often hated in lego for climbing/crawling because it sends all the power to the wheel that has the least grip but the cars with diffs in them have really nice turning circles, so after some scouring on youtube i found a limited slip diff. it was very simple so i decided to make one and it worked, but i can’t figure out how to apply it to the front wheels with a studless design. it combines a good turning circle (...) -

Ural 43206
10 November 2012, by zverThe scale model of Ural 43206 rally truck. The main feature is two AAA PF battery boxes plugged parallel to one buggy motor via two IR-receivers. This connection increases the current to the motor and consequently power and avarage speed increase.
