Features:
- Triangulated 4-link live axle suspension using 4 soft, black shocks.
- 4x4 with one PF XL motor mounted parallel* to each of the two axles. A final gear ratio of 1:5.001, yes this may seem slow, but the enormous Super Swamper tires make up for it.
-4 RC4WD Super Swamper tires. No, they are not Lego, I got them from a nearby hobby shop.
- One L-motor for steering in the front axle, geared down via worm gear to 8 tooth gear, then a 12 tooth gear to a 40 tooth gear. The 40 tooth gear drives another 12 tooth gear that moves a 13L gear rack.
- Portal hubs for all four wheels. Standard Lego Unimog for the rear axle for rigidity; custom triangular plate portal hubs on front axle for a steering pivot point closer to the center of the tire.
- Good articulation, about ~55-60 degrees.
- Controlled with an SBrick.
- Powered by a Lego rechargeable LiPo battery.
