Dakar Rally Truck

I present to you my latest MOC, a dakar rally truck.

Basically I made a quick chassis with full suspension, and then added a very simple and light-weight body to it.
There's an XL motor geared up 3:1 and then an M Motor powering return-to-center steering.
It has front independent suspension and rear I have-no-clue-what-it's-called suspension (please tell me, it'd be greatly appreciated)
Speed and performance is good, it has just enough torque to get up to speed, so as it doesn't have a differential, it does lose speed in the corners, but this isn't really much of an issue.

I know this is a very simple MOC, I think I'm going to try a slightly more complex one for my next MOC, probably a construction vehicle. suggestions are welcome!
