Engineering UGears Pickup Lumberjack

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.
