(MOC) (MOD) 8858 Rebel Wrecker. Studless with PF

Recommended Posts

Hi folks.

I had a week of being sick, So I put together a little tribute model for the 8858 Rebel Wrecker.

It has the original suspension and features with PF. Plus it's studless!

Some pictures and a video;

Sorry about the poor quality pictures. I don't have the time to make nice images. Also, I'm eager to take it apart!

Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

I bought this set when it came out. One of my favourites, you've done a good job to refresh it.

That's a great mod! I love the original an this one is even better - remotely controlled! Do you have any pictures from below? And where did you hide the driving motor?

I bought this set a while ago, second hand. Looks very good and you captured the original "lines" very wel.

Thanks chaps.

@zux The driving motor is between the seats, bellow the IR receiver. The only problem with this is that the seats are a little too far apart!

I do indeed have a shot from bellow,

And as an added bonus, here's the LDD file.

I loved this set when I first got it in 1994? Looks great as a studless model.

Thanks. I was surprised to see this come up again! 

The set was released in 1994, but I was in my dark ages then. I was lucky enough to find a good one on eBay for cheap. I think the wheels are my all time favourite that lego have produced.
