fndcz Posted November 6, 2015 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 Quote
Victor Imaginator Posted November 6, 2015 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. Quote
SevenStuds Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 It's good you added the reference photo. The front and hood is nicely done. Quote
legotechnicus Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 I like it, maybe the weelbase could be longer but other than that great job! Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted November 6, 2015 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 :) Quote
THERIZE Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 For a jeep: meh, for a rc car: yeah!! It looks more like a monster truck then a Jeep. Quote
Zerobricks Posted November 6, 2015 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 Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 7, 2015 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... Quote

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 Quote
Chade Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I think you've done a really good job on this. Much better than my first MOC. Quote
AndyCW Posted November 8, 2015 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 Quote
fndcz Posted November 15, 2015 Author 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 Quote
Jurss Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 It's getting better. Maybe some openable doors? Quote
fndcz Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 It's getting better. Maybe some openable doors? Yes, it is on my TODO list. Thanks Quote
JJ2 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Really good! Much better than my first 4x4 MOC. is my second and much better than the first. Quote
fndcz Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Bad news, I just got this part damaged. :( Any one who knows what is the max tolerance for this part? Quote
2LegoOrNot2Lego... Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Get used to it... :laugh: This happens a lot... Quote
A Gallifreyan Cat Posted November 19, 2015 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 Quote
MaxSupercars Posted November 19, 2015 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... Quote
