Custom Track Links

[BrawnGP94]

Hi all,

I want to share a little project I have been doing the past couple of days. When building tank moc’s, where I planned to use custom track links, it always bothered me, that I don’t have a Ldraw or studio model of them. I always had to improvise with the ones available from Lego. So i though why not just reverse engineer them and get them into studio.

I started with Brickmania’s custom track links. They are based on Lego piece 3711, but designed in CAD and then transformed to Ldraw. It has fully functional connectivity for use in studio. You can find the studio and partdesigner files on my Bricksafe page. To import them into your studio custom part palette, open the .part file in PartDesigner and then export it to studio.

You also can find studio files for BlueBrixx Custom Track Links on my Bricksafe page. They have made Ldraw models of them available at their website. I added connectivity, so they can be used more easily in studio.

Hope this will help MOC builders too make their builds more realistic. I will add other custom parts like Brickarm’s muzzle brakes in the near future.

Note:
This is just a reverse engineered model with dimensional accuracy for digital MOC build only. It does not 100% represent the real physical part! Intellectual property remains at Brickmania.
