Forum LUGPOL

Hi! There are some photos from this year's first race Czech LTTT (LEGO Technic Truck Trial). Terrain was very hard and weather too (rain, hail) => much penalty.

Nice and crazy ;P
Very hard terrain, but i like it!

Why only 6x6 trucks?

Because 6x6 is the best ;-D The track was hard (I wouldn't drive across the mud pit...), but I see that your trucks are very nice ;-) Your Ural is beautiful, I like it very much.

THX. Last Year we drive with only 4x4 cars. This year tested only 6x6 cars. What's better? 4x4 or 6x6 - I don't know.

My URAL 4320 is fully 6x6 truck with differential between front axle and rear axles. Differential have pneumatic lock. I use for drive only two minimotors and third minimotor is for steering.

Very nice track and truck. :)

i also like czech trucks... heavy stuff :)
but i'm shocked about you sacrifice (i mean hard track, rain and so on)

peter as i don't speak czech and my understanding is less than poor
(i tried to read your rules) :)
so i don't even try to read forum

please tell me (us) how do you work on rules
how do you create and change rules

i ask because we see you change your trucks year by year

There isn't any clear answer. In harder terrain 6x6 may be better, but the most of 6x6 trucks are longer, than 4x4s, then when you have a lot of curves on the truck, you have a problem with steering the bigger machine.

I don't like differentials between axles, but I must say this: Ural is beautiful :D

From the observations in Polish Truck Trial, I say: the more wheels, the better. One more axis means +50% of friction and contact with the ground. 8x8 trucks are very complex, but 6x6 can still be reasonably simple & strong. Also, the length rule Kubrick mentioned, has its exceptions: there are 6x6 vehicles actually shorter than the 4x4 ones. There's a big variety of lengths in both 6x6 and 4x4 trucks, which gives you a chance to find a truck of just the length you need.

But in practice, the reason why some guys build 4x4 is very simple. For 8x8 or even 6x6, there is a need to have 6 wheels:). Not everybody has enough wheels to build the truck of their dreams:) (Tatra!)

But in my opinion building a good 4x4 riding properly in a heavy terrain is sometimes harder than 6x6.

I modified the official CTT (Czech Truck Trial) rules to fit LEGO Truck Trial.

Kolejne zawody / next race
Bardzo ładne ciężarówki / very nice truck

Smyk, Oni mają świetne trasy, może w parku coś takiego znajdziemy lub nawet zrobimy.

Pixel zemdleje ;)

Mają dobry patent z tabliczkami oznaczającymi kolejne odcinki. W ogóle podziwiam ich organizację.

Tak przy okazji:
nie jestem pewien, ale to chyba też Czech?

Nie mówię o wodzie, ale te korzenie, podjazdy i bardzo fajne podłoże, tak powinna wyglądać trasa to Truck Trialu. !

To trzeba brać z Nich przykład. !

Bardzo możliwe, ale potwór. Nawet silnik nie zajęczał, a zębatka nie przeskoczyła. Super.

O kurde, ale hardcore :O

EDIT:
Chodzi o to że na tym odcinku pare trialówek mogłoby się rozbic }:>

poza ta fotka z woda to wydaje mi sie ze pixel nie ma co mdlec
poprzednia jazda w deszcz byla bardziej hardcorowa

tu widze "tylko kola" a wiec...
