Powertrain: 2 XL motors
Turret traverse: M motor
Gun elevation: M motor
Engine: M motor
Control: Sbrick
Suspension: HVSS

Churchill bridge layer


Specifications:
Powertrain: 2 XL motors
Main actuator: L motor
locking mechanism: servo motor
controlled by Sbrick

The Churchill AVLB (armored vehicle-launched bridge) is one of my most interesting and challenging models that I have recently built. The mechanism utilized to lift the bridge required a lot of development to ensure that it is structurally strong enough to lift and hold the bridge in mid air.

M8 Greyhound 6x6 Armored Car


Specifications:
Powertrain: L motor
Steering: M motor
Gun elevation: M motor
Turret traverse: M motor
Controlled by SBrick

This model is one of the more compact vehicles I have built, as the suspension utilizes a majority of the available internal space. The major difficulty when building this model was the mounting of the turret traverse and gun elevation motors. They had to be mounted between the first and second axles, as the space between there was taken up by the battery box and steering mechanism.

Mad Max Fury Road ELVIS


Specifications:
Powertrain: 2 L Motors
Steering: Servo Motor
Suspension: 4 bar suspension with compression springs in front, and leaf spring in rear


This MOC is something different than my usual armored fighting vehicle. I have wanted to build a hot rod for a long time, as it has been almost 3 years since I built my 29' Ford roadster. I also wanted to build another vehicle from Mad Max.
