Michael217 Posted Tuesday at 10:31 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:31 AM (edited) Welcome to my garage LEGO!!! Hello! My name is Michael. I'm a builder from Russia, and I love muscle cars, but I also build other types of vehicles sometimes! HUMMER H1 This time, I decided to redesign my 2021 model. I completely assembled a new body, solved the proportions, and added even more details. Description: -2L PF drive -Geekservo motor for steering -Control RCBrick -Permanent four-wheel drive with 8:16 portals -Independent suspension, clearance from the lowest point of 4.5 studs -The steering wheel turns with the wheels -Doors, hood, and tailgate open -Detailed interior and engine compartment -Weight: 1834g.

1gor Posted Tuesday at 10:50 AM Posted Tuesday at 10:50 AM Michael, you have custom portal axle hubs? Can we see them? Thanks BTW This Humvee version is my favorite (first series and pickup) Quote

Aleh Posted Tuesday at 11:27 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:27 AM Did not expect such a comment from myself, but I love the interior the most - very detailed! Quote
1gor Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM I see, it has some similarities with model on shapeways years ago (before pandemic), but it was extreemelly fragile, so I went back to Lego ones from 8110 set...and floating differential to have appropriate width. Thanks Quote
1980SomethingSpaceGuy Posted Tuesday at 12:48 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:48 PM Custom portal hubs, wheels, fabric roof... That's usually not how I want to build myself. But man, this Hummer is awesome! Great job capturing both interior and exterior, this MOC looks fantastic. Quote
gyenesvi Posted Tuesday at 04:37 PM Posted Tuesday at 04:37 PM Great looking model as always, really nice details, even though it uses custom parts for the difficult technical aspects! At the same time, it would be nice to specify all custom parts and give more detail about them in your writeup. I'd also be interested in those custom portal hubs, I have been thinking of a 8:16 hub myself for 80mm wheels, but haven't really gotten to a printable version yet. This looks nice and compact. Can you show more details of its usage? Something does not seem to add up wrt to the red version and the black one in the model itself, in terms of mounting. Where are the A-arms connected exactly? What kind of CV joint is used (seems like the input axle is longer than the standard 2 stud lego version)? How is the steering linkage attached? Why are the two red 2L axles needed when there are screws as well to hold the two sides together (or why do you need the extra screws)? How do you insert the output stop axle, if its hole seems to be blocked by the towball's pinhole behind it? Furthermore, are those standard lego tires (from Audi)? And the rims? Are those custom ones, or just have a rim cover? Quote

The locked axle is inserted from the inside along with the bearings, and then it is closed and the screws are tightened. The additional axles are needed for additional rigidity. The tires are standard Lego tires, and the rims are printed on a 3D printer. Edited Tuesday at 05:38 PM by Michael217 Quote

Thanks for the info, now I understand, interesting hub design. Are the bearings 8mm or 10mm? Do you use Cada CV joints in the driveshaft? 3 hours ago, Michael217 said: The tires are standard Lego tires, and the rims are printed on a 3D printer. Cool, I never tried to print a rim, but this is exactly the one application where it would be really useful. I wish Lego would make a deeper rim for the 80mm tires as well, along with such a portal hub, it would be awesome for mid sized RC off-roaders. Quote

HorcikDesigns Posted Wednesday at 11:04 AM Posted Wednesday at 11:04 AM Wow, I have seen many H1s, but this one really stands out. And the portals are also very well designed. Is it your own design or teamwork with someone else? Are they available for download or purchase somewhere? Quote

Jundis Posted Wednesday at 06:01 PM Posted Wednesday at 06:01 PM My oh my... I am also not a fan of system bricks on technic, but you really nailed the look of the outer shell AND inner technic core! Quote
