Hi Lego Technic enthusiasts

I'm new at this Forum and wanted to show you my Lego Technic Tumbler. Tell me if I did something wrong with the post/sections/whatever! :P

I've seen lots of Tumblers on Youtube, but I'm quite shure that no one built an AWD-version. So this is what came out after three months of studying how this could be possible. Due to school I couldn't spend much time with building, I think in total I had about 30 hours.

-Key idea: Using the old flex system for the steering

-Weight: 1400 grams (without battery box)

-Length: 42 cm

-Width: 24 cm

-Suspension

-AWD

-Shooting cannons at the sides

-rockets that you can swing out

-LEDs

-RC

-No slipping gears, perhaps I should have used two XL-motors

Just watch the film on youtube:

Thanks for reading! :)

Cool idea for the steering. I was thinking of using chain drive for each front wheel but this also works.

Nice job.

I didn't think about that, nice idea. But I'm not shure if it would work because of the torque. Thanks!

Great MOC, awesome functions!

Thank you guys for all the compliments! I really appreciate that! :)

Very well done, especially the rear end. The Sunday driving speed made me laugh.

lol thanks! :laugh:

Very specific Tumbler-interpretation, but I like it! Proportions are quite off, but it does not matter.

Thanks! Yes I realized it when the Lego 76023 Tumbler came out.. there you can see some huge differences..:/

The steering mechanism was quite interesting, well done!

Great work. Never thought of an AWD Tumbler, but it is interesting

Thank you all! :blush:

LEGO designers just got PWND.

Lol thank you! :) I would say they could have built in at least a working steering..:/

Welcome to Eurobricks swisstechnic

This is a brilliant and ingenious build. Well done :thumbup:

This is really cool, congrats! :D

Good work, lots of stuff squeezed there!

Very nice moc indeed! I really like the flex-cable steering! :)

Thank you so much! :blush:

Very cool! The functionality and details are very impressive. I agree with rollermonkey. The pwnage is strong with this one.

Wow, that's a really interesting solution - nicely done!

It's too bad the flex system didn't last - it was a real innovation.

Indeed, PWND is right!

Did you experiment with trying to get it a little bit faster? Not easy with such a sophisticated drive train, I realize...

Welcome to the club and great first post. If the tumbler really had to function the way its supposed to in real life... I am sure it would have to have an AWD mode.

That's what I thought too! :laugh:

Hey aeh504

Thank you for the comment :)

Yeah it's a shame that they don't have the flex system anymore.. for example the new cargo plane would be even more impressive with some flex cables..

I didn't really experiment with the drivetrain - I just didn't want any crackling gears. I could try to build in 2 XL-motors connencted with a another differential for more power and change the gear ratio. :classic: (The Tumbler is still in existence)

Currently I'm building a loom for a school project so I don't have too much time for that :sceptic:

Have a nice evening! :)

Thanks! :classic:

Very nice model ! :thumbup::classic:

could u post a few more detailed photos of your tumbler !

TANK YOU !

Hey abhilego

Of course I can! :)

As it's already evening here, the light was very bad in the house. I hope they are good enough for "what you need" - or I will make some tomorrow.
