Hrafn Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Wow! You should open a new business: Zblj's Lego Towing Service. Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Hehe, thanks! I will post video here again, because nobody will see it on a previous page: Quote
Krize Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Haha, superb! And I thought of a tug war with the 9398... . Great video. Quote
Kronos Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 First, thanks for the LDD, second, this thing should be called the Bear not the fox! Great job, and great video. If I only had eight of those tires..... Quote
Darth Dino Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Hi wow this thing is just awsome! I know you are a sucker for those tires but this THING proves why! There is only one disadvantage: It is long. I does not mean it longer than other 8x8, but it is still long. Since your excellent design does not need a straight drivetrain through the cassis - did you ever thought about a hinge in the center of your THING? I dont mean left right, i mean top bottom flexibility to follow the terrain better. I think this would increse the performance if you start climbing hills from zero to 100 degree.

KirTech LAB Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks for very original video! One of the Best 8x8 trucks!!! Quote
Gee Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Unreal! It can pull a car!!!!!!! LEGO should use this to promote how good their motors are! Quote

About the chassis, I intentionally didnt bother to make it very stiff in order to allow better flexibility. Middle hing...Might be a good or a bad idea, because there is less rear weight transfer when going up the hill and the entire thing could pop up like a worm... Quote
skriblez Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Awesome video as usual :) You pulled a car again!!! Madness and so epic! Quote
Boxerlego Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Amazing Work! You Make it look so easy. Quote
JGW3000 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Very impressive, glad to see you are not afraid to get your wheels dirty! With climbing power like this, who needs cogs? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 WOW the new video is TOTALLY COOL! Quote
z3_2drive Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Over Power..... No U-joint broken? Well each wheel only takes the power of one XL motor geared 1:3. I never broke a u-joint this way even with 10 volts. Quote
sunnykoomos Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Well each wheel only takes the power of one XL motor geared 1:3. I never broke a u-joint this way even with 10 volts. Happen to me twice when testing Zblj's Rock crawler Panther......2 rc motors with 7.4v Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Well so far no damaged U joints :) Only dirty wheels hehe. I belive if I had more wheels and motors, the truck could be expanded even further to 10x10 or even 12x12. Edited January 12, 2014 by Zblj Quote
Gee Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 ...... the truck could be expanded even further to 10x10 or even 12x12. *huh* *huh* *huh* You'd be able to pull a truck with it then! And it'd cost an arm and a leg in XL motors! Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 *huh* *huh* *huh* You'd be able to pull a truck with it then! And it'd cost an arm and a leg in XL motors! 4 More motors wouldnt be such a problem..The steering mechanism would have to have another odd gear ratio, like 20:28 for front axle... And i would need 2 more receivers and battery boxes....could be possible IMO Quote
vliet Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I know what to built when I can find 3 more of those wheels. Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Or just build a 4x4 version..Should be simple, just remove the frontmost and rearmost axle :D Quote
unimog123 Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 This is totally insane!! One of the most extreme off roaders I've ever seen. Great job! Quote
neonic Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Looking good, cool video too Just towing a car, wow Lego powerrrrr I saw it climbing to a 'slope' about 45 degrees? looks really impressive. Are you now ready with the build or ... maybe an idea to build something on it, at the rear, put some figures in/on it (those model-team ones) Quote
shadowhearth Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Wait what? Did that thing actually towed a whole car?! You need to do a video of that alone m8. It is just mind blowing! Quote
Johnny P Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 i am a little sceptic about this "car towing". I don't believe that some toy ,that only weights 3 / 4 kg can pull 900 or so kg. if the car is on a small slope maybe. so i would like the see a video without editing where you pull the car forward an then backwards , without replacing the real car. for offroading this thing really rocks and has lots of power and it looks great to. Congrats on this beast. Quote
