I decided to start making a replica and add my mods. So far this has: two C+ L motors for drive/steering but I mistakenly mounted the tracks too low, so there will be space for two C+ XL motors once I fix that. it has two mini turntables per wheel for strength though I might change these to planetary hubs it uses 3 of the technic base-plates in black. since I need many mounting holes for the gearbox version of the MOD, I will do the RC version first however. But I did plan the gearbox, it has 8 clutch rings for the following functions: PTO (for the drill attachment) (one SP small angular motor) attachment pivoting (one M LA, one PU M motor) boom section A (two L LAs. two C+ L motors) Boom section B (one L LA, two C+ L motors) Turntable rotation Cabin elevation (one SP small angular motor) Drive (this may not need the gearbox) Steering (this may not need the gearbox) I also used the long tank treads and heavy duty differentials, and lots of girder frames. The model is modular so far.

I would like a 1L diameter shock, but instead of being 6.5L, it can be built mostly from other lego pieces and has a lot of customization. I tried making a mock-up drawing by having basically an oval pinhole , like on this piece, and using a stud pin to hold the plunger inside of the body, but since I want the body to be 1x1 in diameter, the other parts would be too big. Also since the plunger is just an axle, but has a pinhole on the end, it would be too big where the pinhole is in order to be inserted into the body. which just has a friction-less axle-hole... We have the 5L axle joiner which has no friction on one end, we have just the metal springs on their own, as well as the 6.5L shock absorber body We have axles with stops in different lengths, connector pins, other connectors but what we don't have, is a way to lock the axles so that they doesn't fall out, but also lock the pinhole on the end of the plunger axle so that also doesn't fall off. So, we need a way to do that, while also allowing for a customizable shock absorber (because that's the LEGO way) IDK if anyone can come up with some designs. a mini pin and bar hole could work, in order to keep the plunger and body locked together, but its not as flexible as a pinhole, whicha ccepts studs, pins, axles, also mini pins are weaker.

I am praying to the lego gods that this subpart can be removed from the wheel that it comes in It has a "hard snap" but is friction-less, so it can kinda act like a 2L axle with stop- 5,263 replies

Its what I (at least) call this piece: Because the 'Y' connector is already taken by 2 other parts, there's also the 'k' connector- 5,263 replies
