As a fan of your MOCs ( tumbler, foxy, black wolf ) I have to say that large projects impress me much less, but anyway I am looking forward to see how it works.

Why?

[MajklSpajkl]

This is one mean truck. I hope you get to build it one day ;-) I really like the suspension.

Happy new year,

I think the bigger MOC is will have fewer performance, when I see so much space I would think about doing the same on a smaller scale but is just an opinion, I try to always build in small scales or I don´t have so many motors .

[LeocornoProductions]

Great design, it looks like a tamed version of the fox, but I'm sure it

will still be brilliant offroad.

[Tommy Styrvoky]

I hope he doesn't plan on entering this in [TC6]...It's very very impressive for the size.

[Zerobricks]

Thanks for the praise guys!

Nah I use too many motors for TC6. I will keep you guys updated when I manage to scrape the money.

Why do you want to use L motors?

Easier to attach?

[Zerobricks]

The motors act as a structual lement among all other things. They are attached dicretly to the 5x7 frames, one in the center and 2 on the sides. I decided to use them because of nice fast RPM (compared to XL), torque and the attachment points.

Anyone interested in the lxf?

That's a cool moc. I like the details you put in it, especially the window frames. Have you ever thought about using lego air tanks in combination with your autopump? It'll give you a small buffer of air.

I did think about air tanks, but in this specific model where each function has a stand alone compressor without a centralized automatic compressor, the air tanks would make the arm less responsive. Thats because the pump would have to fill the airtank first and than the arm would move.

I'd love the LXF even though I don't have the parts for it, I could still learn.

BTW, ZBLJ YOUR ONLY 2 SUBS AWAY FROM 5000.

I would be interested in checking out the lxf on this beauty.

One free of charge LXF for a massive model coming up:

This monster is amazing! Looking forward for progress.

Anyway, where is giveaway video ?

[Zerobricks]

Its uploading, still 200+ minutes to go...

Thanks!

[izorn]

OMG!

200+ minutes ?! What's in this video?

[Zerobricks]

Now that I managed to gather all the needed parts, I decided to build it live.

The livestream will be active in saturday 12th march from 10:00 - 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00 GMT+1.

More info can be found in the video below:

Hope to see you all in a week.

[grum64]

I'll be there. Will refreshments be served?

[dr_spock]

Cool. GMT+1. Is that 4AM EST?

It's BYOB. Or bring your own coffee depending where you are in the world.

I'll be watching whilst in my LEGO shed so the coffee pot will be on, a plate of homemade Biscoti at my side. That's the catering taken care of.

Looking forward to Zblj providing the entertainment.

See you then.
