Rock Crawler

Had a sudden urge this afternoon to make a Rock Crawler. So I did

Driven by an XL motor geared down 3:1, I used the axles from Sariel's Jeep Rubicon TT (http://sariel.pl/201...angler-rubicon/) and my own middle chassis structure bit. I will confess, I have absolutely no idea how to do the suspension, so I guessed , even so it performs really well as it is so I can't have done too much of a bad job

Any comments on how I could improve the suspension would be greatly appreciated, as I haven't got a clue  

Supercar WIP - Update

Update on this project, I am scrapping it. The reasons are because I simply do not have the parts or the skill make the complexity and scale of this model work. Instead I am going to build a smaller car without a gearbox but instead with the following functions:

• Rear wheel drive via a XL Motor and differential
• Front wheel steering via a M Motor
• Full suspension, front independent, rear I have not yet decided, possibly independent I'll have to see
• Fake V6 engine
• Decent bodywork, as this wouldn't have been achievable on the bigger model with the parts I have

I leave you with some photos of the almost complete chassis which is as far as I got on the big model. I will now disassemble this and start building the smaller one.
