Moc 8858 studless remake

[piterx]

Hi everyone! I've already posted a wip of this model but anyway now i got the video and some decent pictures ^^

Some months ago I made this remake of one model that I really loved almost 20 years ago: the 8858!

It's not an accurate replica, it's just made by eye :)

Anyway it was funny to drive, it was powered by an XL motor with a gear ratio of 1:1.

I used knob gears for the transmission to make it strong, so strong to make the XL motor stall sometimes!

Hope you will like it!

8858 Features:

- power functions

- suspensions

- return to center steering

Measures: 27cm * 16cm * 15cm

794g weight

Nice reproduction of the 1994 original 8858 Rebel Wrecker set (from Blakbird's Technicopedia):

This is pretty accurate, considering you did it by eye!

And here I was thinking just yesterday, that a studless version of this set would be pretty cool! Nice MOC, it looks great

Looks much worse, sorry

:P the oldschool look is hard to overcome!

True Actually, I think the original bodywork on your chassis might be the winner

Great modernization of this interesting looking set

I actually have the old one currently built, it's sitting on my ps3. I used to always try to motorise it, by sticking that old super high rpm torqueless crud motor they had back in the day in it. haha that thing couldn't move itself.

Anyway pretty awesome, and functional, be very hard for you to beat the look. It's a serious classic IMO the best.
