Nice Bobcat MOC!

[matias bendtsen]

Thanks for comments (and pics)

first i built it with weels and then rebuild it with tracs because before it ripped it self i half when it turned.

Nice MOC. I see you're using the thumbstick-controller designed by Jason Railton.

[matias bendtsen]

Thanks for comments.

i have updated it, so now it's possible to change tool with the remote controller, but it's possible to secure the tool with a pin to avoid it falling of.

i will post some pics tomorrow.

Nice idea! Quick changing attachments definitely increase the playability of the model. Any chance of making instructions?

I like your quick hitch design.

[barman]

This a realy great MOC. It is in the right proportions and the functions are all there.

The quick changing attachment function is a great add-on. Great job!

I would use LDD for this one athough it does not have mini la's.

i have tested ldraw but there is no m-motors and no recievers.

ldd have recievers and m-motors, but as you say no mini la's.

[Alasdair Ryan]

You can add new parts to ldraw,or if you want you can use Sr3d which has all the parts you need and more.

SR3D builder

Download Ldraw parts here

[matias bendtsen]

I already have both installed but ldd i easy to use, wich sr3d is'nt.

[Alasdair Ryan]

Oh i use them all.

If you want you can send me a clear pic of it and i can so the cad file for you.

Yes, you can get the M-motor and receiver in LDraw. I use them all the time. However they are not "official" parts yet, so you need to get them from the Parts Tracker.

M-Motor

Part 58120

Receiver

Part 58123

If you save the text below as test.ldr and open it in LDView, LDView will automatically download all the part files and subparts for you.
