UGears Mechanical Models - Truck UGM-11

UGM-11 Truck represents a new generation of our mechanical models. This is a model that could take more than one hour to complete, but the rewards are absolutely worth the effort for the fans of mechanics.

The model is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, which is driven by a crankshaft, which, in turn, is powered by a fully functional drive shaft, turned by a rubber band engine via a system of gears. The Truck is what we call 100% rubberpunk, which means a perfect blend of the clockwork and steam punk worlds.

The gear-change lever on the side of the truck allows for three modes - forward, backward, and idle. The rubber band engine winds up with a lever mechanism conveniently placed on top of the Trucks cabin. 'Start' the engine in idle mode and see four pistons moving realistically under the folding hood. Open the cabin door and observe the fully functioning steering wheel connected via a steering column to the front wheels suspension. There's even a working gas pedal!
