Gunhead/ Lynx Mk II

This was a tanklike creation that was supposed to carry an automatic gun fireing Technic cross axles. I made the treads myself and got problems with the drive. Since I grew tired of the project and had major trouble with the gundesign (never fitted and not shown) I gave up.

Facts

"Finished" 2002-02-27 but no major changes after 2002-01-03.

Featured two gears, differential lock, radio control, suspension


Under construction




Links made of halfbeams and cross axles.




Gearboxes. One for each side. Did work but could have been improved.




Links fitted, each of the lower wheels are mounted with suspension.




The two micromotors on the sides shift between high and low gear. The central motor locks the dif.




Servos fitted.




Controls fitted onto servos.




Side.




As good as it got.




Due to the 8448 wheels slipping inside the links I tried with this wheel as well. Still there was a lot of slippage and I was out of ideas.
