My new Project:

1:10 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer on LOSI MRC Chassis:

The Pinzgauer was produced by Steyr for the Austrian and Swiss army.
I think ist is one of the best offroad cars in the world. Because of its small size and light weight it has many advantages in comparism to other cars,
olthough it is powered by a 2,5l air-cooled engine with only 87PS/64kW.
Anyone who has ever seat in a pinzgauer will love this little car.
I am from Austria, so I got in contact with this car when I had been confiscated to military duty.
Thats the reason, why I built this rig.
my.php




The body is form Pro-Line Racing (named "recon"), and modified.
I made the body 3cm shorter to fit the MRCs whellbase.
The Rollbar is made out of Aluminium. It was my first try, so I will make a better locking version later on.







The Chassis is an stadard LOSI Mini Rock Crawler. I have only modified the spring mounts:

This extension is made from 1mm aluminum.

I know, I will have to improve a lot, but I thik it is not too bad for my first build.

Here you can find some videos:

Now some lead-weights are mounted on the front and rear axle. This is an great improvement, compared to the earliert stage.

I am going to get the RC4WD 1.55er Rock crushers when they are availible.
 
I always really liked the Pizgauers I've been thinkin about using this body on a mrc and doing a cool exeskeleton cage on it. Would have to move the cab towards the rear a little more for my liking though :)
 


I have done some work on my Pinzgauer!
The new underride guard is made from 0.8mm Aluminum.
I put about 100g lead into each wheel. Now it is nuch better to drive.
But the small LOSI motor gets really hot, so I have mounted a 12V, 40mm fan. It is connected to the 6V BEC, so it runs very silent.


I have made some NEW Videos!
(Always remember: Driving AND shooting isn`t easy! )

Sand ladders in action:










I think that is enough:





 
That looks utterly fantastic! I'd like A real 710m myself. I've been wanting to make an R/C one too, I thought to use a rc18 to better replicate the full-size suspension. beyond that I haven't done much! haha! But seeing your nicely completed truck is very motivating! Maybe I'll make mine a Haflinger instead!
 
The Haflinger is a VERY small car. Ists only 285x135cm (112x53"). It is always compared with an big bathtube. :mrgreen:
Building this car in 1:10 scale will be very difficult. (You maybe you could use some LOSI Micro-T parts!).
The haflinger has really good offroad skills. The biggest advantage: If you get stuck into mud, 2 men can easily pull it out, because it is so small! "thumbsup"
 
Update

I have got something new:

I have been watching the "Dig for MRC??" tread for a long time and I got sick of waiting for a DIG for my MRC.

So I switched on my milling machine, and after some hours:





All sliding parts are made out of steel or stainless steel. Only the driveshafts are made out of high quality aluminum (6083 or so)!





Servo:


Locking mechanism. Simple and reliable:

The spring forces the bolt into the locking position. The servo moves it back! (1mm high flexible stainless steel cable!!!)

It was a lot of work, but in the end it was all worth.


I have carefully tested this DIG and after some test drives there is no wear!

nice greetings from Austria! :D
 
Grüße aus Gallneukirchen (nähe Linz).

Tolles Modell!

Ich plane gerade an einem "rear DIG" für meinen AX10.

Deine Konstruktion schaut echt toll aus.
Hast du Zeichnungen oder Pläne?
Wie aufwändig in Zeit und € währe es für dich ein 2. DIG zu bauen?

Front DIG wird ein Vanquish Hurtz DIG (bestellt und auf dem Weg).

Meien e-mail adresse schicke ich per PM.

To all others:
sorry for writing in germen, but made it a lot easier to explain what I need.
 
A brushless conversion is still under construction.
I am going to use a compact gear reduction unit in combination with a small outrunner brushless motor.

stay tuned!"thumbsup"
 
Holy ****, nice work there. Reminds me of my service time, we still have a load of halflingers in GreeK army for supportive roles. These beasts could and still can, go any place I could imagine. Even in the rare occasion one got stuck, we would get out and carry it a few meters down the road.
In my humble opinion all other offroad vehicles are a joke compared to halflingers.
We also have some 712 pinzgauers but they are nowhere near as competent as the halflingers.
 
Crawling near Vienna, Austria:



Now I use droop setup on the front axle:



Brushless Motor mod:

I am using a chep chinese 2840kv Outrunner with a Castle Creations Mamba Micro Pro ESC. The motor is mounted on a HPI gearbox (1:7).
The motor doesn`t fit the gearbox, so I machined an adapter out of alloy."thumbsup"
I am using a cheap 1000mAh 3S Lipo, 12C!!!
This combination is the best I ever had.:mrgreen:
