Introduction: K'nex ATV
This is something I have been wanting to port over to ibles for a while now, and figured "Why not?" when I saw the contest was running.
From what I recall, this model is pretty difficult to put together, so you should have plenty of experience with K'nex before deciding to build it.
Step 1: Gather Parts
I'm not sure how accurate this parts list is, but it's probably pretty close:
RODS
- green 65
- black (green) 40
- white (black and silver were used) 41 (21b/20s)
- blue 33
- granite (yellow) 8
- metallic green (red) 2
CONNECTORS
- metallic blue clips 10
- tan clips 1
- dark grey 32
- light grey 9
- granite (red) 19
- bright red (red) 1
- green 82
- light grey (yellow) 17
- purple (or variants thereof) 15
- black (white) 4
- brown (orange) 4
OTHERS
- hinge (black end) 4
- hinge (blue end) 6
- blue spacer 29
- silver spacer 8
- ball joints 12
- ball sockets 12
- y connectors 26
- trekker wheels 4
- 4 rubber bands (I used #64)
- 1 1-inch black wheel
- a bendy yellow (neon red or orange work)
- 4 small wheels
Step 2: Chassis
Step 3: Steering and Details
Step 4: Suspension
Step 5: Front Fenders and Finishing

How do u get those wheels???

Still your best model and probably one of the most sophisticated Knex builds. Achieving a nonboxy design with connectors limited to 45 degrees is not easy. Plus the suspension and compact steering mechanism.

Nice model! I may try building this sometime with different wheels, since I do not own any of these type of wheels.

How do you attach the thing from the fourth picture in picture four to the first picture in picture one?? Thanks, I can't figure out how to put it on.

That is so cool ! :)
Is there any way to make it Remote Controlled ?

Thanks man. I bet with some ingenuity (and a healthy helping of non-knex electronics), radio control would be a breeze. As it stands, I don't think any official K'nex stuff has the ability to squeeze any motors in the already cramped space, unfortunately.
