Old, staying for reference [MAN TGA UNICAT EX-70 HDQ]
An all terrain truck, originally based on the MAN TGA chassis. My lego version is simply a 6×6 rally truck
Firstly this project was ment to be a quick ‘just for fun, project but as it was finished I notices it performed very good so I continued it’s outer appearance to make it look slightly more like a truck. Some time awhile I was thinking about making an opening front , pneumatically, so fixing stuff inside the cabin will be easier and cooler…..
Now the Unicat has this function! With one pneumatic hand compressor, a switch and a cylinder.
The suspension
The truck has two types of suspension: pendular and 4 link.
- Pendular suspension-gives the rear 4 wheels of the truck the ability to ” go up and down” like a pedal does. It helps a lot when trying to drive over some big obstacles- keeps the rear/front pair of wheels on the ground. It’s quite the same as my KAMAZ 8×8 had.
- 4 Link Suspension- Actually this specific suspension arrangement is the same my warthog had. Only the front wheels obviously .
The truck is motorized by 2 NXT motors and steered by one. because of that it is powerful and fast. So it could handle some rally tracks.
Do you think you coauld make and instruction video or something for this vehicle?
Sorry but this truck was disassembled long ago. Try building according to the pictures. Let me know how it goes!
