Mercedes-Benz G-classe 6x6

Hello dear friends! Please let us (yes, today - we are both with ADCchannel are the authors) introduce the latest MOC - today this is Mercedes-Benz G-class 6X6 Trial edition.

This truck (definitely it is!) is our common project. I was always dreaming of creating my own implementation of this greatest version of legendary Gelandewagen.

I build the body with pleasure and know that ADCchannel riched senior skills in building chassis for truck trial, so I offered hiw some kind of collaboration. Luckily, he immediately agreed.

The main difficulty was that we are living in different cities, but not far from. So, couple of month were spent truck is ready.

To be honest body itself is absolutely new. From my previous G class Mansory edition I took only front view and side doors. Roof, interior, body frame is completely new. Mandatory point was to create easily removable body. So, you can split body from frame removing only six axles (easy to remove).

Some description, though :)
This monster is propelled by 3 XL motors - one per each axle. M motor for steering and we decide to power truck by Buwizz. But it's ready to use regular Lego IR receivers.

Suspension has 3 portal axles like original Mercedes. We use 7 Claas tires (actually 6 + 1 third party). Everything what can be opened - is openable - hood, doors, trunk.
Unfortunately there were no room for any V8 engine due to front suspension construction. First purpose was to build truck suitable for trial.

Feel free to watch and comment. Any critics would be highly appreciated. Video:
