fndcz Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Hi there guys! Here comes my first MOC - 4x4 Jeep. I spent 3 weeks on it and still have lots improvement to be done. 4x4 gear ratio 1:3.89 Front and rear solid axle Steering by PF Servo Drive by two PF L motors Weight 1300g 34cm x 20cm x 18cm chassis and body are build separately Edited December 31, 2015 by fndcz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Imaginator Posted November 6, 2015 Looks exactly like Jeep, nothing else) Forms and proportions not so real, but for first MOC it's not so important, far better than my 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SevenStuds Posted November 6, 2015 It's good you added the reference photo. The front and hood is nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legotechnicus Posted November 6, 2015 I like it, maybe the weelbase could be longer but other than that great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeroen Ottens Posted November 6, 2015 Good start for a first MOC! The body is a bit too boxy for my taste, but so is the original, so you captured that look well :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THERIZE Posted November 6, 2015 For a jeep: meh, for a rc car: yeah!! It looks more like a monster truck then a Jeep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Looks simple and sturdy! And I actualy like its short wheelbase, it gives it a more offroad-ish look. Only thing I'd change is to get rid of diffs and reinforce the steering axle. Edited November 6, 2015 by Zblj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Even though the likeness is not that Jeep-ish I really love this build, well done!!! Edited November 7, 2015 by 2LegoOrNot2Lego... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing I'd change is to get rid of diffs and reinforce the steering axle. Thanks. You're right, I need to reinforce the steering axle, sometimes the gear jumps. I like it, maybe the weelbase could be longer but other than that great job! I agree with you, working on that. :) Edited November 7, 2015 by fndcz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chade Posted November 8, 2015 I think you've done a really good job on this. Much better than my first MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyCW Posted November 8, 2015 Looks great. It seems that you have a 'leg up' on the rest of us in relationship to our first MOCs. Looking forward to more of your creations. v/r Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fndcz Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, some updates as below lengthen the chassis with two units as advised some changes at the front (add two more lights) change the gear ratio to 12:20=>1:1=>12:20=>12:20=>20:28 = 1:6.485 Edited November 16, 2015 by fndcz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jurss Posted November 16, 2015 It's getting better. Maybe some openable doors? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Gallifreyan Cat Posted November 19, 2015 I thing I saw once to prevent the end from cracking is to put a 2x2 round plate around it: http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-round-plate-2-x-2-with-axle-hole-older-style-with-axle-hole-4032 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxSupercars Posted November 19, 2015 Very good idea... but can be applied only if there is enough space for it... by front driven and steered wheels it can mostly not be used... :/ Max... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
