Arctic Scout by Samolot

My model for the TC 26 contest. Wondering what to build this time I was looking through old Lego Arctic sets on the internet. I came across the 60194 model and immediately noticed its original chassis with tracks at the front. I thought it might work in Lego City, but I don’t think it will work in Technic. But it was worth trying. From the very beginning, I had doubts about whether it would be possible to maintain the rigidity of the system. That’s why I started the construction with the front suspension.
It turned out that it wasn’t as bad as I thought at first. The steering system worked and gave hope that it would also work well in the finished model. Besides, my stock of orange bricks allowed me to build without having to buy anything. The model has a snow bike and for this, I decided to add a loading crane to it, which was not in the original model. In addition, I have seen trailers on skids in other sets from this series.
That’s why I decided to build a trailer and a story for the model. Some time ago, an exceptionally heavy meteor shower fell on the earth. Most of them fell in the Arctic. That is why scientists from all over the world set off in special vehicles to collect meteorites in huge snowy areas. The model has 4 motors, 2x PFXL for the drive, 1x PFM for turning, and 1xPFM for the crane.
The power supply is from the buzz cube. The body detaches from the carriage using only 6 pins. The steering wheel works when turning. Initially, differentials were installed on the drive wheels, but after testing on snow, I gave up on them. At the rear of the vehicle is a fake V8 engine. The crane on the trailer is operated manually. I hope you enjoyed it.
