Auto Credit Based on Planeacceleration's [Ended] No Fuselage Challenge!

does NOT require the beta

I have created a monstrosity...

Ok this one is going to be hard to explain.
I challenged myself to make a monster truck made entirely out of hinge rotators (except the cockpit), using giant hinge rotators as panels and wheels, chains of hinge rotators for the floopy framework, and hinge rotators for both drive and steering.

I can't necessarily say it works.

However I can say that it can move and it can steer, although not a lot and with much difficulty. It'll take a while to get anywhere at all, because as expected hinge rotators have almost no grip while being used as tires (i never thought I would be examining the integrity of a hinge rotator as a wheel, but here I am). That means although the wheels move at a good pace the wheels are spinning out the whole time.

As for steering, it has a tight steering radius and can steer well compared to how it drives. For some reason the entire front axle rotates when you steer instead of each wheel steering independently, but I was too lazy to fix it, and it adds another challenge to the driving experience :). It will often blow up while trying to steer and will spin around if you steer too fast. Cool.

Good luck, I guess, and enjoy simpleplanesing!
