Paul B Technic Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hi all, We are hosting a LEGO expo in a couple of months time and as part of this I would like to have a demo course for the 9398 which I can setup. I have tried to design something but nothing looks that good and I want as much variety in it as possible. One idea I had was to get some gravel and rocks and build a course using them, weight would be an issue. Any ideas would be very helpful. Paul Quote
Kronos Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Check the older threads in the forum. A couple guys made videos of their 9398 in action. Quote
Someonenamedjon Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 How about a series of tubes, you can also look in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjlo7G661Iw, good luck Quote
DLuders Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 @ Paul B: You could go to your local Carpet Store and get some of the used cardboard rolls that once held carpeting. You can usually find them outside next to the trash dumpster. If you use a saw to cut them up into "logs", then glue them together (either horizontally or vertically), they would form a relatively lightweight and inexpensive obstacle course. Quote

DLuders Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Here is a whimsical render of a Lego 9398 4x4 Crawler atop the Olé Kirk's House (set 4000007). How's that for an obstacle! The render was done by Martin Hronský (Hrontos on Eurobricks), the author of the LDD2PovRay program used here. Olé Kirk is the original founder of the Lego brand.

Nazgarot Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I would recommend you to try with Duplo. It works very well as the sharp edges are easy for the tires to grip on, and because of the big blocks you can build a course in no time... And it's Lego! Quote

And also good offroad - place different stuff under the carpet and you'll got a good relief;) Quote
