BigCatBoy Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I love jeeps! You built a really great truck! Nice to see some Easter Jeep Safari concepts in lego/technic form. You captured the body design of the Lower Forty really well. Congrats on the award! Quote
Splat Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Hi Victor, it was great to meet you at BrickCon, and congratulations again for winning the Most Complicated Technic award. - Stephan Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 What an awesome low, yet offroad model! Nice idea of using the swinging axles, a bit uncoventional though. Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Awesome moc... I just hope that you are planning to make instructions at least for the body ;D Quote
zux Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Great MOC, crawls really great! - Mechanically linked front and rear pendular axles (NO springs necessary!) Could you please explain what this actually means and how it works? Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Great looking Jeep and stunning performanche Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Great MOC, crawls really great! Could you please explain what this actually means and how it works? Its really easy actually. Bot axles are mechanically linked via gears or pully system so when one axle tilts a degree the other tilts also the same degree but in opposite direction. So if the tearrain "tilts" 30 degrees each axle tilts exactly 15 degrees. Its like a longitudal differential with each of the axles being an input. Quote
darksheep Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Very nice work !!!!! Really looks fantastic , I think instructions would be very cool Quote
Rishab N Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Great work. I like how it doesnt use proper springs Quote
timslegos Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Good to see someone else using this style of suspension. Ever since I discovered it I have used it in every one of my crawlers, it just works so well! Great looking jeep too! tim Quote
