Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep this jeep from gettin' through! The Tracked Off-Road Vehicle from Ugears is an eye-poppin' rock hoppin', heart-stoppin' ride. Whatever your 4×4 of choice, whether you use a UTV for hunting or to get around the farm, a sport ATV for thrilling trail adventure, a side-by-side for family trips in the country, a dune buggy for getting to your favorite surf spot, or a truck for work and adventure, just one look at the tracks on this wooden jeep model will trigger your “I want!” reflex.
Our 1:24 scaled wooden ORV model has a spring motor that allows it to travel more than three meters in “D” (Drive) mode and more than four meters in “S” (Sport) mode, an open cab, four-wheel drive, a hood that opens to show the engine, and safety bars in back, but the standout feature are the four tracked modules in place of wheels. Rubber track conversion systems, like Mattracks, Rubtrack and those of other manufacturers can be bolted to the rims of ORVs, tractors and rescue vehicles, allowing the vehicle to operate in all conditions and on all terrains. No more getting stuck in the mud or snow—with tracks like these you'll power through, no problem.
To operate your Tracked Off-Road Vehicle 3D puzzle, give up to 26 half turns of the ratchet mechanism located on the model's undercarriage. The stick shift functions as an “On/Off” switch so put it in “P” (Park) mode before winding, place the ORV on a surface, hold it as you slide the shifter to “D” mode, or raise the shifter slightly and move further back into “S” mode, then release the model. A pendulum located at the back operates to make the vehicle move more slowly in Drive mode. If you didn't think those triangular-shaped tracks could give your rig a smooth ride you're in for a surprise! Challenge your four-wheel drive Ugears Tracked Off-Road Vehicle with some trail runs over rough terrain, snow or ice, or put some small obstacles in the way to test the ground clearance. We don't recommend bogging because of the clean-up, but we do think the Ugears Tracked Off-Road Vehicle is one tough mudder.
The Ugears Tracked Off-Road Vehicle is a “Advanced” level DIY model, with 423 parts. Spend an enjoyable 8 hours building it from laser pre-cut parts made of art-quality composite wood.
