vmln8r Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 The steering system allows for tight wheel wells, and meant I could use those shiny (but wide) red wheels. This is a non-motorised version: Quote
timslegos Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Runs great. What was powering the drive? It looked like it could drift. tim Quote
legolegolegolego Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 That is fast and fun. I really like the profile of the van. - Michael Quote
Diamondback Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Anyone else find themselves humming the theme? :) BA Pities Da Foo who doesn't like this van. LOL Edited January 15, 2013 by Diamondback Quote
kieran Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 nice one, brings back some memories, you really got the van captured very well in a small package, and the steering is excellent, would build this to show the kids if I thought they would have any idea what the A-Team was Quote
Strikeman Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 This thing is super cool :wub: Ooooh the memories The steering is very very clever. You are not having any troubles using the 3L blue pins (friction-wise) on the steering ? And the speed is also excellent ! I think I saw it drift in the Youtube movie ? ps, kieran, take them to the A-Team movie maybe ? It's more action-paced than the series was but it captures the spirit of the original A-team very well in my opinion Quote
Jim Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I petty the fool who doesn't like this MOC! Very nice creation. Authentic color scheme and very clever compact design. Quote
chorlton Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 That is awesome! Small, fun and instantly recognisable. Quote
shadowhearth Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Very cool and with very clever ideas. what motor are you using for it? it looks damn crazy fast. Quote
davidmull Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Looks very cool, any instructions coming? Quote
olaf9198 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Realy nice good shape and nice technical use of parts What motor are u useing for driveing Can u make instructions for the steering system? Quote
Gene Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Mr-T was the only actor who stands-out among the rest. This creation is really coool~ especially the drifting part. Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Very cool + very clever. One of the most ingenious steering mechanisms I've ever seen. Quote
vmln8r Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone. It uses an XL to drive (40:8>20:28); the drifts are with plastic wheels. Strikeman, there aren't any friction pins in the motorised version. I'll try to post breakdown pictures/instructions later. Edited January 16, 2013 by VMLN8R Quote
jorgeopesi Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Very cool MOC, as someone recently wrote me, I wish I was able to do little things like yours, and I add further I would save me many parts . Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Really nice little moc! The steering is clever, and the way you replicated the color scheme is fantastic. Well done! Quote
DarkShadow73 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Nice re-creation...as a child of the 70's and 80's, sure brings back memories, makes me want to haul out the DVD box set of Season 1 of A-Team I have...great show Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 FYI, Autoblog has this up on their website: http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/17/r-c-lego-a-team-van-is-triple-geek-cool/ Quote
