M.A.X. Truck - The Modular Toy Truck - Base Vehicle

thingiverse

<b>25 August 2019 Update - DriveWheelV2 Added</b> I've introduced a "DriveWheelV2", which is just 1mm narrower than the original drive wheel still available. I find this one spins more freely, making it my top recommendation. This toy truck features a steerable front axle and a rail system on the back that allows for smooth movement on multiple accessories designed for different missions. The front bumper includes slots for front-mounted accessories, while windows can be printed in various colors and pressed into the main truck body using friction to hold them in place (fit may vary depending on printer or print orientation). The base vehicle posted here includes a fifth wheel for a trailer that's currently being designed. I plan to share the dimensions for the rail mount system so others can develop their own accessories.

Great job! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3307335 Assembly requires only assorted M3 screws as extra material. Use M3 x 20 screws on the steering axles to ensure sufficient strength, taking note of a slight recess in the steering axle to accommodate the screw head. Use M3 X 8 screws to hold the aft bottom plate in place and M3 x 6 screws for the forward bottom plate. An M3 x 12 screw is required for the center hole in the steering tie bar and top steering tie bar. This design was inspired by and dedicated to my newborn son.
