This old-timey truck sure is pretty to look at, but it's not just for show.
The UGears Pickup Lumberjack is a working truck with a job to do, and that's
hauling wood (or hay bales, or work tools—whatever you can imagine)! Based on
the popular 1959 Chevrolet 3100, the DIY wooden model features a 1m x 7mm spring
motor (same as the powerful UGears Drift Cobra) allowing the Pickup to travel up
to 6 meters and haul loads of 400 - 450 g in the truck bed. The winding knob is
stylized to resemble a custom open-top air filter emerging from the hood. Lift
the hood to reveal the beautiful V8 engine firing away!
The Pickup
Lumberjack has 3 modes: R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Forward). The spring's
energy is transferred to a gear set to increase the gear ratio, through the
gearbox, then to the driveshaft, differential, and rear axle. A Start/Stop
mechanism located in the truck bed allows you to start the truck on command.
Because this is UGears, and because we love to focus on the small, whimsical
details that make a model exceptional, a small pendulum under the seats
simulates the shaking of a truck's powerful engine. Bent plywood gives the model
beautiful lines and 1950s styling. The Pickup's doors open from inside and
outside, and the tailgate folds down. The front wheels can be turned using the
steering wheel and locked in place for graceful turns. The Pickup Lumberjack
also features front and rear spring suspension, so you don't get bounced around
too much on those country roads.
