Me and my cousin have modified the blue Lego Technic off-road truck (set number 8435), with Power Functions from the Bulldozer, now it can drive anywhere, remotely controlled!

It will easily trek across grass, and up a >35 degree slope.

It servived a flip over a 1m slope, and then carried on driving, with no wires/parts coming loose.

We were surprised at how much torque the Lego gears can take, with the right support, we tried many methods to increase the torque, without losing speed and grip, but this is the best attempt.

Note: Perhaps no instructable will be posted, because this is a very complicated build, and we would have to show you how to take certain parts on/off the original model. I'm sure these many pictures will help though, and inspire people to build thier own.

Good Points:
>Good Suspension.
>Powerful Motors.
>Good steering.
>Excellent Remote Control.
>Makes a Great Off Roader.
>Good torque.
>The body can be easily removed for internal cleaning/inspection.

Bad Points:
>Only Rear Wheel Drive.
>Steering Centering Is Not Too Good
