6 x 4 articulated Bit Semi truck!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here's my second Bit Char-G project in progress, a three-axle, 4WD, 2WS, dual-motor, articulated 1/100th scale semi truck.

Mods & features include, but are not limited to:

Real carbon fiber flexible lower chassis plate
Semi-independent articulation at every wheel
Two 1.0 motors with low gear sets (one per drive axle)
Bit Racer treaded tires
Choro-Q body

This is most definitely a work in progress. I will be adding more batteries, not in series for speed, but in parallel for runtime and weight. I also obviously have quite a bit of body work to do, to make it look professional.

Currently, this truck can climb a 30-40% incline, stop, back up a bit, and start again (no running start!).

Full details of this ongoing project can be found here:

Very cool! :cool: Is the articulation via the CF H-plates?

Not precisely h-plates, but the same concept. The bolded link in the original post will take you to the project page, which has more images, including a picture of the underside of the chassis and a view of the CF stock I used.
