European Style Truck

Hello fellow builders! :classic: After a small period away of about a month I'm back with my latest MOC, a European Style Truck.

It uses an XL motor geared down 1:2 for propulsion via an old differential and has ackermann steering geometry with return to center steering, as done by LasseD on his trucks (http://c-mt.dk/instructions/). Other functions include opening doors and I guess the coupling is one as it would work :grin: just I don't have enough pieces to build a trailer...

More Pictures including every Technic builders favourite, the underside :wink:
