Inspired by several RC cars I designed my own rock racing buggy in SP.
It has a lot of detail, electro-mechanic steering, independent suspension on the front, live axle suspension on the rear, suspended front, headlights, taillights, brake lights, gas pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel and a V8 engine made by MotorKade.
It feels at home in dunes, flat sand, trails, hills and mountains.
Suspension and body are pretty solid, but very hard hits will make it break or explode of course, especially hits on the front. Some medium jumps are also possible.
It's not designed to be a rock crawler, but it still does a good job climbing, even at pretty steep angles like on the pyramids on Maywar.
I have spent half a day tweaking the engines, suspension and wheels for a nice ride and good control.
Controls:
Pitch: throttle forwards/backwards
Roll: steering left/right
Brake: braking
AG1: turn on lights
Feedback and suggestions are appreciated!
Cheers! :)

@BRuthless sqy it looks nice. I know i realy like the rc's and when i saw i felt like it was going to be good. And it was
@rcking2015 Trophy/short course trucks on one side, Axial Yeti, Vaterra Twin Hammers and HPI Apache on the other side. The body is way different though, I had a different design in mind, but this is how it turned out. :D
What rc's did you base it of. The frame Almost looks like an axial yeti
Cool.
