LegoJeeper Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Hello all, My boys created this Lego Jeep Wrangler, building it to scale and detailing it like our full-size off roader which we run without doors and roof as often as possible. Their Lego Jeep is 18 inches long, 9 inches tall and built entirely of Lego, with the only exception being the 4inch diameter wheels, as Lego wheels are smaller and less meaty. The full details are in the Lego Cuusoo write-up at http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/17748 Appreciate your support and Vote if you like it. Cheers ! Quote
Korni Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Great Design! I like it I've just supported the Jeep at CUUSOO -> #179 Edited June 7, 2012 by Korni Quote
timslegos Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Definitely a beautiful looking MOC. The r/c tires look pretty cool too. tim Quote
yotogi Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Love your mix of studded and studless parts! Great job! Quote
Sariel Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 It's beautiful, but I have strong doubts about what LEGO says on these wheels. Quote
LegoJeeper Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) It's beautiful, but I have strong doubts about what LEGO says on these wheels. I agree. My kids couldn’t find tires larger enough in Lego sets - the Lego wheels ones we have didn’t give the model a true offroad feel. Here’s my daddy-sized Jeep Wrangler used for inspiration. Thank you to those that voted, it's very appreciated. Kids are enjoying watching the votes tick higher, exciting..... Edited June 7, 2012 by LegoJeeper Quote
efferman Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 cool, in which way did you connected the rc wheels to the lego axles? Quote
LegoJeeper Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 cool, in which way did you connected the rc wheels to the lego axles? Thanks, after trial and error found that the RC wheels clip on to a single brick sized gray technic bushes at the end of the axle shaft. Quote
