Hello Boys,
I would like to present you a second version of my Trial Truck, designed to practice Rock Crawling. Ii has improvements regarding the previous version :
- the direction is placed so that the wheels attack the rocks first and stay ahead of the chassis,
- the suspension springs are placed very close to the chassis, to get a better suspension travelling angle
- it also has a lower center of gravity
- and i decreased the thickness of the rubber tyres to have a better grip
Hope you enjoy.
SORRY THE BAD ENGLISH, I’M USING TRANSLATION ON LINE. (and thank you moderator for rewriting this horrible text)
THANK YOU

Nice low truck! Did you cut the wheels? Or are they some different ones?

Thanks, the tires were cut to give more grip on the climbs. Also had reduced the thickness of rubber to reduce the hardness of the material.
