1/10 Fully printable LAND ROVER SERIES II by Discofab

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

This fully printable Land Rover Series IIa rock crawler is based on the well known Ursa Bear Monster Truck by Tahustvedt. The components I've uploaded are sufficient to create the model if you mix with Ursa Bears components.
I reused the central gearbox (540 one), the steering rods and the axles in their last version GB03.See yellow parts in the pictures.
I needed to improve the wheel travel to be able to climb much better. To do so I implemented huge 125mm shock absorbers. I have designed a special mounting bracket to fit with the existing powertrain. The upper triangles and longitudinal arms are also a creation. The ball joints are already intergrated in the longi arm design and can be printed with it directly (ABS is preferred to be able to free the ball joint after printing by braking the first layer of the print)
The longitudinal transmission are equipped with cardan for a smoother operation the cardan ball is assembled with 1.75mm filament.
The frame chassis is an inspiration of Ursa Bear's but is completly redesigned.
I put a big battery to have a maximal autonomy and to add weight for a more efficient crawling :-)
I designed the body from 2 pictures front and side of a LR IIa pickup and I made some cut out on the fenders to allow the big wheels to travel freely.
The rims are designed to fit with the tires I had. I don't know if those exist on the market because I reused some I had on my shelf. Actually the complete project started from the tires :-)
I will put later on the screws and bolts needed to complete the assembly, the remote control , battery are adaptable whatever the model (I think so).
Enjoy!
