daniele Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Well here they are: [...] Very cool but in my opinion, too much grey Quote
tibivi Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Very cool but in my opinion, too much grey Yes I know, but this was the only color that I had enough Thanx Quote

With those tires it seems a mini bigfoot :) Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 I see you used bigger wheels. Does it still work okay with them? Quote
T_Tank Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I see you used bigger wheels. Does it still work okay with them? Ya with the larger wheels has no problem rolling around on my bed (with 2 down comforters ontop >.>) an can on a flat surface push itself over my fist (about a 3 1/2 inch obstruction). may be slightly harder on the motors but sofar seams everything is working alright I really could use the different clutch gear since mine seams to allow a lot more slipping.

grohl Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Nice shrinked version of the crawler. I really like the climbing abilities of it. Quote

Zerobricks Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 T-Tank, thats awesome! Thank you for praise guys Quote
T_Tank Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) put together the instructions for the nico trail crawler body for the minicrawler. I couldn't put all the parts together in LDD but once you assemble with real parts the body is under a little bit of tension but it holds together tightly hell i've dropped the crawler from a 3foot drop with the body an it didn't dislocate in a single spot! http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/T-Tank/ZBJminicrawler/ZBJminicrawlerN71/Instructions/minicralwernicotbody.jpg Building instructions Edited September 22, 2012 by Rick Quote
BachAddict Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Here is a photo of both models. I only now realised that the suspension was not meant to be as stiff as I found it!... <accidentally deleted the attachment. Will have to find original file again> Edited February 2, 2015 by BachAddict Quote
Zerobricks Posted September 22, 2012 Author Posted September 22, 2012 You used hard springs? They look nice together Quote
07jkearney Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 Wow! This is a fantastic model, not only ridiculously compact, but with good performance too. I really wish the rechargeable battery packs weren't so expensive. Quote
