Nalyd997 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Well I feel like I am at the stage where I will hopefully get this finished. I was inspired by the Peacemaker from Mad Max 4 but changed it up to suit the contest. Here is a photo I made as a point of reference (I am not going to put the ferrari body on). So without further a due here is my idea: It is driven by two L motors at 1:1 and the change mechanism by a XL motor. It is powered by the 8878 rechargeable battery. The bodywork for this is quite hard, as it needs to go up and down in order for the wheel arches to clear the wheels, I am thinking of using mini LAs Another problem is the name, I just put that one in the topic but I would prefer a different name, so if you have any suggestions please tell me!

BusterHaus Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Interesting concept. I'm also using a tracked platform for my enforcer but its transformation is quite different. I spent about two weeks on the tracks and they are still not to my satisfaction. Maybe it's just the difficulty this type of vehicle brings to the table. Whatever the case, don't give up yet.

Track buddies! Yeah the treads took a while to develope the suspension which doesn't have much travel, but it works Quote
Technic Jim Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Really cool idea but a bit jerky; however, I imagine that can't be helped. One question though - are the wheels driven or not? Quote

Nalyd997 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Here is an update: I have finally figured the rear wheels out, and also have sorted out the start of the body. Unfortunately I have a lot of assessments this weeks with school so it is unlikely I will finish in time for the contest however I will finish it. Anyway here are some photos I decided to go with my favourite car for this: the Land Rover Defender. I didn't post any photos of it in car mode with the body because it looks weird without wheel arches. Hope you all like it so far Edited August 1, 2015 by Nalyd997 Quote
Chade Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 I hope you do finish it, it looks great! I really like the look of the front end, it suits the build. Quote
MaxSupercars Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 This is one of the best looking TC7 vehicles... As you said it doesn't matter if you finish it in right time... I'm looking forward for the final version... and for additional hidden features like guns etc... Max... Quote

Jim Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I really hope you can finish it in time. Guess you can use the extra week Quote
Block_Smarts Lego Technic Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I love it! I have plenty of time on my hands because I'm in Virtual School! I wish you the best of luck! Quote
Nalyd997 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 I really hope you can finish it in time. Guess you can use the extra week Which was consumed by school and my bass guitar Very well made. Thank you! It really means a lot I love it! I have plenty of time on my hands because I'm in Virtual School! I wish you the best of luck! Will definitely have to finish it now! Anyway during testing I managed to snap two blue pins straight in half Will be doing some solid building this weekend to get it done! Quote
Nalyd997 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Unfortunately I did not get this finished in time for the contest but I will still press on! Here are the most recent photos I know just need to do the roof and figure out how to attach the body to the chassis. It sounds simply but the body must move up and down in order for the wheels to tuck in. To help this I have used the 3x5 arched liftarms to push it up. The wheel arches attach to these (it is a bit hard to see). Not long now! Quote

Technic Jim Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 It is a real shame that you didn't finish in time for TC7 because that definitely would have got my ten points. I'm looking forward to the finished model Quote
Nalyd997 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 That stinks... It is still amazing! Yeah I was a bit disappointed with myself that I didn't get it done. But I wasn''t going to rush it! Thanks though and it should nearly be finished It is a real shame that you didn't finish in time for TC7 because that definitely would have got my ten points. I'm looking forward to the finished model Thanks! That is really cool to hear Quote
Chade Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Looks awesome, can't wait to see it finished! :thumbup: Quote
