Jurss Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Would be correct B-model for licensed set. Quote
gyenesvi Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Nice one, I definitely like the improvements on the bonnet and the front! I like those tires as well, they look pretty good, I have been checking them out before, but could not tell from images how well they fit. Do they fit the rims perfectly or is there a small gap? From the underside image, I can see that you are using an old CV joint as well in the front of the drivetrain. Did that ever pop apart if you drive it hard? Did you test this on outside terrain?

Jundis Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Nice one! Grohl did a very similar B-model: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-92394/grohl/mercedes-benz-g-wagen-42129-b-model/#details Quote

Yes, in front I used one old CV joint combined with new one. Home tests are done. Climbing a lot up to 56 degrees, driving on pillows, and it's alive)) Quote
