The latest LEGO Technic masterpiece created by Sariel is a replica of a Russian military truck that features drive, steering, remotely controlled transmission, V12 piston engine, opening doors and hatch, lights, UV headlamp and custom stickers. Like many LEGO Technic builders, he got a soft spot for the giant Russian military trucks and he considers the MAZ-535 to be one of the best-looking one of these monsters.
The real MAZ-535 has really enormous wheels and a relatively narrow chassis, which translates into limited room between a LEGO model’s wheels, even if you go with really big LEGO wheels – in this case, popular LEGO 107 x 44R wheels translate into just 12 studs of space between left and right wheels.
