Let's build a Jeep Wrangler together

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Awesome work piterx!

(sei un grande!) :thumbup:

[EvilEnderman]

It's looking great so far, going to have a go myself - Considering my lack of L motors, I'll try and cram an XL in there :p

Looking forward to the next update!

[piterx]

hello guys! thanks for the good feedback!

im happy that u like this project

im going a bit slow as i've broken my right hand so im sorry for it :P

WELL!

time to complete the chassis so u can use it for whatever u want:

rear panhard rod

steering system

note: (the two gears are gonna be strenghten up once the front part of the body is attached)

gearbox stick

servo mounting

Looking good! I hope your hand heals up soon.

[Hrafn]

Oh no! I hope you heal quickly. When I broke my wrist, the doctors told me protein helps speed the healing of bones, and that did seem to be borne out by my experience.

[EvilEnderman]

Finished the chassis, was excellent fun to make - however couldn't fit my XL and M motors in properly, so I'll just make this a manual model

Looking forward to see the next update

Piterx, since I currently don't own any changeover catch or driving ring i don't know why have you attached the gearbox stick with a flick missile, wouldn't it be better to have a 3L axle? Is the changeover catch axle hole frictionless so you can't do that?

[EvilEnderman]

They're frictionless, so to allow switching between different rings on gearboxes with higher gears. You could just use a 4l axle with some bushings on the ends, both will work fine

[PROlego]

Ok, thank you. In fact I own like 30 flick missiles but I was only being curious...

I'm going to try and build this but without it being remote control, and try to add the Suzuki body to it. Finger's crossed hope it goes well for me.
