Atr Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) I built this model some time ago but now when I have completed the building instruction for it I decided to publish it here. Jeep is quite simple in build but very effective. It has pendular suspension, 4 wheel drive, 2 wheel steering and uses one XL motor for propulsion. It is controlled by a Lego PF remote. It was created in 2009 but I have rebuilt it in 2010 and applied some improvements in steering system, suspension and body.

Jurgen Krooshoop Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Good model and clear instructions, excellent work !! I know that it takes a lot of time to make good instructions, and even more time to make them looks so professional as you did ? Will you also providing the instructions as PDF-file, or only as youtube movie ?

DLuders Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 No, I don't plan to provide instruction as PDF. @ Atr: Your Jeep Willys MOC is great! For those who would like to build it themselves, could you possibly post the individual JPG images on your Bricklink gallery, or on Lugpol? The YouTube video's screensize is a bit small for folks to see some assembly details. If there is a series of JPG images, one could then use Adobe Acrobat Professional to compile them into one, PDF instruction booklet....
JunkstyleGio Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Nice model! Would love to see a pdf or all the pictures on brickshelf. Then making a PDF is a piece of cake!
dolittle Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 The first MOC I believe to have every parts expect the Remote transmitter and receiver!! yeppi! BTW: You can increase the size of the Youtube movie, but the quality doesn't improve as original isn't HD
DLuders Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Atr has more details about his 2009 MOC on BrickTruckTrial.com . Of note is the additional YouTube video that explains his suspension. He wrote, "The front suspension needed shock absorbers that would have higher stiffness than gray ones but lower than yellow ones. So I came up with idea of increasing stiffness of Lego shock absorbers, you can see the details on the video below:" Scale (wheels used) 81.6 x 38 R Width 24 studs Transmission 4x4x2 Motorization 1 motor(s) - PFS-XL (none) working fake motor Steering PFS-M motor without steering wheel Onboard Battery Box PFS unit Total Weight 1200 grams I'm keeping an eye on his Willys Jeep Brickshelf folder for possible JPG images of his step-by-step instructions.
ms09 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Very impressive offroad vehicle! I really appreciate the superior mobility and robustness. And most of all, it is a successful offroad vehicle with differentials.
Zerobricks Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Very impressive offroad vehicle! I really appreciate the superior mobility and robustness. And most of all, it is a successful offroad vehicle with differentials. No diffs there! Putting diffs in an offroad vehicle is pointless.
ms09 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 No diffs there! Putting diffs in an offroad vehicle is pointless. Maybe I am wrong, but there might be a version with differential gears.
Atr Posted September 21, 2010 Author Posted September 21, 2010 The old experimental version had differential gears, but the newest model from the instruction has no diffs and is much better in offroad.
gyenesvi Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Great to see such a suspension solution in an older model when specialized parts have not existed yet. I like the built-up wheel hub with the gear reduction and the way the steering is transferred to the front axle.
