BeamNG Gavril D-series toy car - (TOW RIG SPECIAL)

Boost Methese BeamNG projects take a lot of time to ensure easy printing & building, if you want to see more BeamNG.drive vehicles made, please consider boosting

update 1.2: increased wheel diameter to look less like they have low profile tires, also improved the mesh of the hood (print profiles have been updated accordingly)

 

A functional gooseneck trailer to work with the gooseneck hitch in the truck bed can be found here

 

This is a printable version of the Gavril D-series from BeamNG.drive, more beamNG related projects can be found here.

 

This is a special release of the standard D-series, featuring:

• an extended bed
• wider rear fenders
• a different style of wheels and dually rear wheels
• an early style front fascia (grille piece)
• a smoothed body (cutouts for the trim pieces removed)
• a gooseneck hitch in the truckbed

 

This model can be used as a toy or display piece for fans of the game , if assembled correctly it should be quite robust and the wheels should spin smoothly

 

I have not made detailed assembly intructions (yet), but i do have a few tips to ensure a good result:

 

• pay close attention when installing the headlights, reverselights, blinkers and handles, they need to be installed in a specific orientation.
• use of glue is required, but be careful not to accidentally glue the wheels or axles to the body, otherwise they won't spin.
• the grille piece is interchangeable with the grille from the  standard Gavril D-series, if you prefer the look of that one you can use that instead.
• it is not recommended to glue the ball hitch, it needs to be removed in order to hitch up the compatible gooseneck trailer.
• the detailed  wheel and rim pieces can be very hard to put together (depending on how well they printed), you may even need to carefuly use a small hammer to snap them together, if you do not want to take the risk of wasting material, take the “with simplified wheels” print profile instead.
• the shortest axle is the rear axle, the difference is small so pay close attention.
• if you can't get the reverselights to fit, there are brakelights without cutouts included in the model files.

Once finished, please take a moment to rate the print profile (if you used it).

 

KNOWN ISSUES: 

• when printed, some of the edges and corners from the mesh are visible, i am limited by my software of choice so fixing this will be complicated and might take a long time.
