This Truck Trial is modeled after the International FTTS concept. The truck features a two speed gearbox, MacPherson Strut independent suspension, four wheel steering, crab steering, and is fully remote controlled using the PF system.
I wanted to try an independent suspension truck for once. I was finding a couple of issues I wanted to address with the pendular suspension set up; namely it steering restrictions and space constraints. Using an independent suspension would give me the (...)

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 ...

Freightliner
14 April 2012, by thirdwigI decided to make a 6 wheel truck. I wanted to try something with floating axles. The model is based on the Freightliner M2 Business class, with 6x6 drive. Power is from 1 PF XL motor powered through a three speed transmission. Transmission is powered by two PF M, and steering is only for the first axle by one PF M.

14 April 2012, by thirdwigFor my next Truck Trial I wanted to use the turntables for the final drive. Because this kept the driveline speed high enough I was able to add limited slip differentials at both axles. Steering was given to all four wheels. The truck had great stability and clearance, but the suspension could have used a little work, as it was influenced by the drive motor as you can see in the video.

15 March 2012, by ZbljThis is the result of mixing PF and Rc’s. This is by far the fastest, most hyperactive and craziest offroader i built. The power of 2 RC motors combined with the lightness of LiPo battery boxes and unimog’s suspensin parts results in a truck that weighs arround 800 grams, yet has the power/weight ratio of over 4x than anything before. Gear ratio is only 1:9, which makes it by far the fastest crawler ever!
To solve the problem with 8297’s wheel slipping on rims, I decided to use the wider (...) -

18 December 2011, by 88highHere I present my VERY first 100%-my-design TrialTruck. I was very supprised on how it worked out. It was strong, stable, very powerful, and had great suspension. This is how I thought of the design...I know it might sound cheesy, but I thought of the idea in a dream. The next morning, I built the axles, exactly like i had in the dream. They turned out perfectly the first time, beleive it or not. Then after that, I just built a similar rear axle, and made some suspension linkages. Those (...)

Tatra
3 December 2011, by JorgeopesiHi to all, this is my second trial truck and the first here. It has a 12 cylinders fake engine with a open doors and hood. The truck uses two xl motors for driving, one normal for steering and another one for the two gears gearbox, the gear ratio for the first is 1:15 and for the second is 1:9. It is unfinished yet but only for a pair of details.
A few videos here...

20 November 2011, by 1nxtmonsterMy 7th and best trial truck. This truck uses many parts from the 8110 to achieve realistic suspension. The chassis is very good, and the bodywork is lightweight. The total weight is 1270 grams, but the drivetrain is very powerful. The axels are very strong, thanks to the portal axle pieces from the 8110.
The hood opens to reveal an inline 4 motor, that is not powered.
The battery box and drive motor are positioned in the centermost lowest spot, and has excellent stability.

1.) 6X6 drive
2.) realistic Tatra-style suspension
3.) 3-speed transmission, with remote-shift via LA GEAR 1: Geared down 4X GEAR 2: Geared down 3X Gear 3: Geared up once, Then geared doen 2 (...)
