Heheh, Germans

A guy here in utah tried to put a helicopter yoke (is that what it is called?) into a tamiya hummer... he gave up trying to figure out the driveline. He had the idea just not the skills to pull it off.

I don't get it.... he's got this insanely crafted machine, and he shows it off by driving up a wood bench.... Interesting idea for sure, but one would have to limit the suspension flex quite a bit to avoid the axle roaming under the truck and steering it in wierd ways.

" This insanely crafted machine " is constructed completely and manufactured by www.truckmonster.de (that's me - Georg) in February 2005 on a 3D CAD System. Unfortunately, I have no time to finish the car - therefore, only the short video.
Perhaps (after finishing my other projects) Iwill find the time to optimize the rest of "the ultra crawler".

it would be sweet if you could run the pivot with an engine so you could choose your articulation and force your axles into the air.

This weekend I finished building the first prototypes of "the move" and "the truckmonster":

Hi,

first video impressions of "the move" (again with "the wood bench").
Making the video alone (in one hand the transmitter, steering with a "joystick" - in the other the camcorder) it looks a little bit funny how I drive).
But anywhere, I think you can see the endless power and the sensible control (is this the right word for it?)
If I had the chance to make videos outside I will give you the link.

Have a nice weekend - Georg

the move video - 4,8 MB - WMF

There goes the Neighborhood! First Clods now this...........

Just playing it's Great! Nice work!

I think "Sensitive Control" is what I hope you were trying to say

Is there anything to limit the Articulation or can one side of it flip over?

truckmonster · 11-06-2005, 05:42 AM

Sensitive ist just what I wanted to say - thank you for "the right word".

Looks cool, youre either insane or a genius, only time wil tell which tho.

Thanks for your interest and looking the video. I don't think i am a genius - insane would be "not a wrong word" - but ... am I the only one?
This concept I saw the first time in the 80's in the US - now it is the time to make a small one of it. The material was the hardest alloy you can get for money (thickness: 5 mm), the "engines" 540 Mabuchi with 1:50 gears.
The wheel adapters are made for Tamiya 5-Pin - others are possible. It is controlled like a tank. The dimensions depend on the length of the engines and the place needed for the "electric parts".
Again I have made 3 complete models to make real tests with them. I use the 3D CAD modeling system Unigraphics NX from UGS (this is the company I am working for).
Most of the "tests" I could make with the software before milling and turning the first part - and most of the time all will fit when putting all parts together.

The rotation is limited by "steel leaves". The thickness (1,5 to 2 mm) will control the rotation.
It happened already that one side completely flips (180 degrees) and "the move" went on. This was not planned - however, it looked funny.

I think there will be a lot of comments and new ideas to optimize the concept and the details of "the move" in the future.

So "keep on modeling"
