An attempt at 1:10 scale version of my 4runner (Prado)

helipilot77 — 2013-04-09T18:11:54Z

I 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

AmericanLego — 2013-02-19T17:22:54Z

so 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

technyk32 — 2013-02-03T15:16:30Z

In 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 (...)

Limited slip diff?

AmericanLego — 2013-01-23T19:24:53Z

so 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

zver — 2012-11-10T16:39:16Z

The 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.

Extreme Offraader V4

Buildingspree12 — 2012-08-23T20:40:51Z

After the success of my Extreme Offroader V3 I started on my next Offroader. I decided my next offroader would have full suspension. At the time I did not own enough shock absorbers for a full suspension vehicle so, I purchased ten new medium hardness shock absorbers. I started with a truck that had for shocks per axle, eight shocks in all, four in the front, four in the back. As I built I relised that the chassis were not strong enough to handle the stiffness of the shock absorbers so I (...)

Mercedes G Pickup Truck

efferman — 2012-08-23T20:40:24Z

Long live the overkill ! this or something similar i can say when i talk about my new G-class pickup. weight: 2400g length: 530mm width: 214mm height: 272mm Tires: well, not from lego. i have used ansmann racing 211000224 for the propulsion iam using four of the new PF-L motors from the 9398 with a gear ratio of 1:8,337 . They are powered by two lego lipos and two of the new V2 receivers. because of the left and right motors are has their own controll circuit, skid steering is theoretical (...)

4x4 8081

thirdwig — 2012-04-14T10:01:16Z

I have decided to make the 8081 Extreme Cruiser a little more extreme. I have added a V8, added front and rear live axles, and four person seating. In addition, I have added four wheel drive, while keeping the steering and suspension travel of the original model.
While this is not a Truck Trial, the methods can be used for a smaller Truck Trial in the future.
Video is here (...)
