Finished detailing the chassis. Added a vehicle bay under mid section of vehicle. ![renderV030_02_2026-08-19sm](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/d/4/e/d4e18abef7930b49af4dd8d179089fe7fd6a6250.jpeg) ![renderV030_01_2026-08-19sm](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/d/1/9d1316ab77365808361717c0c71a98c91a222aa5.jpeg) ![renderV030_03_2026-08-19sm](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/f/8/9f877b0a97147d56c0f5724742525f2781956457.jpeg) ---

Rigged suspension and expanding wheels. Rigged back axis to shift back, to make space for expanding wheels ![Screenshot 2026-09-07 223901](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/6/1/9/6191ba404a00f6dcb0856734c55ce62671a25342.png) ![Screenshot 2026-09-07 222829](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/4/a/0/4a0f5cd98547708256f18f2c4f1fa54c3fcf4bba.png) not sure how to attach videos over 5MB. Here is a link to the a short viewport video on X: [https://x.com/AKantemirov/status/2097694827441746028](https://x.com/AKantemirov/status/2097694827441746028) ---

It looks really good so far, nice work. You can’t attach files over 5mb, so most people either compress them or upload them to an external site. ---

thank you. I understand. So it’s okay to link to a video I upload to social media? ---

Yep i often upload stuff to YouTube, you don’t need to make the video public if you don’t want to on YouTube, and then you can drop the link witch has worked fine for me, I imagine this works with any platform not just YouTube though! Anyway, amazing model this thing just keeps getting more and more detailed, I am looking forwards to see what you add next! ---

Thanks man!!! That is a great idea. I am going to try it now. I just finished rigging the wheel to react to the ground. Huge thanks to Liam Gilo (ElementLiam on Reddit) who helped explain to me how to rig it. [https://www.instagram.com/p/DdXSTYKTjnj/](https://www.instagram.com/p/DdXSTYKTjnj/) ---

Very cool, I like all the suspension, shafts and other small details!⚙ ---

Finally got the wheels rigged and did this short viewport render test. There are many small things off, but I am glad I took the time to figure out rigging. It’s starting to feel just like I imagined it. Was going to render it in HD, but it would take 11 days, so I decided to skip the render test and actually get it finished first, then go into rendering.
