BUILT TO KILL COMPETITORS. Here is one special model i built in a hurry a few days after standard version of "MAXXIMUS" was built.  Bigger, tougher, high-tower and dirt worthy sand blaster ready to stomp the soil and blast some mud!  This is also a last minute work which i use some old parts  under the carriage to save up building time and recycle back some worthy parts from "XCALIBUR" and "XVERT".  I give a subset name of this model as ZEN. A perfect name which combine power and force within the off-road truck.

This is my dream setup for having similarities to an Radio Control Stadium truck because the built looks tougher and really meant serious racing attitude.  You know sometimes i really wnat to have this one  built in real life rather having a miniature size in a form of RC truck. Imagine having this one cruise on every Sunday down the country side or add  so me bling on the wheels and cruise into the urban jungle.  What a ride!

ZEN MAXXIMUS CD 17.1 XL-HT (High Tower) is a rebuilt model of the original standard version of "MAXXIMUS" with re-enhanced under carriage lower mainframe structure to support suspension hydraulic, struts and robust axle size.  Lower skid  bar added to the axle for better protection and side tanks for better fuel mileage.   Each wheels supported with 4 suspension struts and several hydraulic linkages.

"ZEN" have overall physic of Nitro fueled RC truck .  The main chassis is higher off the ground made clearance for the suspension to expand and compress at high velocity compression.

During its construction on 3d modeler program i just concentrate on rebuilder the lower part of the truck which consist of complex restructuring work of its chassis but keeping its polycount at safe level to avoid possible lagging  on normal PC spec setup.  There's also increase of polycount on the front and rear axle by 40% of face/vertices because due to adding extra bars and custom skidplates.  Customizing from normal "MAXXIMUS" to "ZEN" only took 2 days which include custom racing theme paint finishing on its body.  The wheel however  was built a month before and it took just a day.  Handling and performance similar too previous version of "MAXXIMUS" except with more flex and supple suspension setup.  After testing "ZEN" this models built for those who would like to have fun on the dirt hill and do lots of dirt blasting jump just like any Nitro powered radio control in real life.  Enjoy!

It was funny incident on a day before this project was created which lead to reason why this models was designed.  This project was spawn because it was my desired for satisfaction for not able to grab my hands on replica of truck models i saw on the toy store.. a vent of frustration which leads to creation of this 4x4 off-roader.  Let's just say i'm dead broke to spend on such expensive R/C off-roader.....Sometimes if you can't have it just make one for yourself so i did.   I think afters years absent in design and creating an off-roader finally i've fired up my favorite modeler tools and make the baddest and most wicked 4x4 off-roader ever built on the planned.  Prefer to be rivalry of infamous HUMMER.

MAXXIMUS CD 16.0 XL-ATX (All Terrain Xtended) is a high tower 4x4 off-roader design to tackle various terrains ever challenge in the wild.  With higher ground clearance on the front and rear chassis prove an ideal design for various terrains application. Initially from the start  the truck suppose to be design as coupe 2 door type off-roader, but after thinking for two days wondering why  i should have a two door, since four door are much better at carrying loads and family based commercial value i just go ahead  with 4 door based design and added rear hatched canopy on the truck bed for family type 4x4 design in mind.  I tribute this new 4x4 design for my father because he always wanted a cool 4x4 dualcab pickup truck so he can cross country back to his green natural home on borneo island.  He likes  adventure.

THE DESIGN
MAXXIMUS was design to rival H2 HUMMER design, which is why this 4 wheeler have wider chassis track, long body length, sharp edgy body contour, more front and rear end clearance for obstacle climbing, wide disperse headlights,  higher suspension lift kit and big profile wheelsets.   The design have a mix of retro and concept taste.  Front facelift have almost an old skool style hollow type looks which belong similar category of muscle car like Concept Camaro, Challenger, Hemi or something feel phat or higher over your head feeling. The chassis shells was more edgy or something like aluminum box like style which at first reluctant to think about that design in mind but popular trend of rugged and rough edgy looks persuade me to continue follow with how 4x4 people would like to see on this vehicle.  Just like all of my design the rear lights remain circular in design, looks sporty and classic....its just my style.   I also added significant trace of "X" signature on my design just like other models i created previously on the front and rear chassis.  The trace of "X" marking can be seen as dark groove grilled top and  bottom inverted wide "V" marking which both combined as one horizontally sliced "X" mark.  For those who don't know "X" represent my signature as in "XL" or "SupermotoXL"..every designer leaves a bread crumbs.  The windows also looks more tuby hollow like the interior  styling of an aircraft cabin window panel.   port located above, behind the headlights beside the ‘X’ beam spoiler provide quick escape for heat dumping generated by the twin intercooler.

At the end of the design phase the truck overall looks more out of the box adventure truck really to roll over anything in its path.  Higher ground clearance on front and rear for easy vertical climbing.  Bigger tyre and rigid wheelsets.  Long body and aero dynamic rear truck bed canopy.  Full dual  four piston vented disc brake system.  Side wall  exhaust system. Wider body width and sturdy mainframe.  How do i feel about this design?...great!!  satisfied!!..95.99%..almost..well atleast it looks better and more off-roader looks than my old creation "XENO 2" which looks  way urban style bug shell off-roader.  Anyways if you look carefully "MAXXIMUS" share same engine, axle and suspension system as "XENO 2".  Yeah the good reasons is i'm too lazy to think about design and built another mechanical parts for it.  Its just another way to save my brain from over heat.  In 2008 i'll be looking foward to design more off-roader until each of these rides could impact the way people off-roadiing around the globe.

Peace and ride free.. 

Live to design and share the passion.

 Enjoy.
