42110 Land Rover Defender chassis, v2
This is the second version of the Land Rover Defender chassis. Compared to the first version, it now features Ackermann steering and some changes were made to the gearbox and transmission.
Despite all efforts, the design of the gearbox and transmission turned out to be not reliable enough; when passing over obstacles (even in low gear), it sometimes made a crackling noise. The weight balance was also far from ideal - the rear part of the chassis was heavier than the front. After adding a body, the weight balance would shifted back even more. The steering mechanism also needs to be improved - it has too much play
It was a good start, but I decided to take this chassis apart and look for a better solution.
