M3 Amphibious Rig

9,306 YTho  7.8 years ago

@A3 THIS IS FOR YOU :) before this week, I had never heard of this monster. The M3 Amphibious Rig is to say the least a transformer. It can deploy pontoons from the top portion of the vehicle and rotate them down to the sides. This allows it to float on water. Because of this feature, it is used as a ferry and a mobile bridge (when connected to other M3's) for other land vehicles such as tanks. The rig is highly maneuverable on water and has toggle 4x4 drive and steering. The wheels retract into the body to reduce drag while in water.Normal steering controls of left stick for throttle and right stick for steering. It is a heavy truck so it WILL roll if you turn too fast. (1)- start driving engine and lights (2)-all wheel functions (down on vtol to retract wheels, simply selecting 2 will activate 4x4) (3)-pontoon controls (vtol up to move into top position and vtol down to move into down postion) (4)-water piloting (activate and use left stick for throttle and right stick for steering) (5)-crane controls (activate plus vtol to rotate crane) (6)-radio antenna (activate plus up on vtol)

    I think the description would be easier to read if it was in a list format.

    @CWhat016 I am way too lazy to go through all of your existing builds. However, I'm following you, so I'll get a notification whenever you upload something. As for how you get to the next level, you do that by reaching a certain number of points. 100 points for bronze, which you were until yesterday, 1000 for silver, 5000 for gold, and 25000 for platinum (black, officially called "Master" rank). You get 15 points for every upvote you get on your build, 2 points for every upvote on your forum post, and 25 points on a mod post, if you ever make a mod.
    One more thing. Since you are using an iOS device, and thus cannot XML edit, feel free to take modded parts from my builds.

    Yeah I was wondering how you get silver and gold and etc and thanks. You should also check out my last build then. It has a lot of smaller detailed constructions @EternalDarkness

    @CWhat016 I like it. Given that it's made on iOS, without XML editing, it's got nice details. Also, it has moving parts, and it's a unique build, never made before, as far as I know. Also, congrats on silver.

    This is a pretty nice build. You should have just colored it in a brighter color, and different from gray (its usual army green would do) to make it stand out from the gray/black background. Then it would attract a lot more attention.
