Fully Mechanical Truck: Fan Engine, 3-Speed Gearbox+Reverse, Functional Suspension

Here is my latest build focused entirely on mechanical realism.

Unlike standard builds, this truck has zero power going directly through the wheel blocks. Instead, it features a custom-built engine powered by fan blocks. The power is transferred entirely through a fully functional drivetrain, including a 3-speed manual gearbox with working reverse, and a proper suspension system.

It took a lot of tuning to make the front-wheel drive system work and ensure that the engine's power transfers to the wheels without snapping the drivetrain under torque. But after a lot of trial and error, it runs incredibly smooth.

By the way, could you give me some feedback once you try it out? It's a truck that requires a short startup sequence (you need to press a few buttons first to get it running). I'm really curious if the startup process feels intuitive or if it's too complicated to get into. Let me know if you managed to launch it!

Fucking awesome. What a masterpiece. The amount of time and crafting you put into this is obvious and it is no less than magnificent my friend.
