8297 alternate instructions...

[Kronos]

Does any one have the alternate instructions for the 8297? I just got this set and want the B model instructions.

Also, has anyone made this model 4WD? If so, I'd be interested to see how they did it. I have a few ideas, but would like to see how other's have done it. I don't plan to motorize it, I just want to take out the adjustable suspension and made it true 4WD. Thanks - Mike

Seems like your missing book 3 and 4?

Here you can find the full set of instructions on Lego's site.

MacGyvarek has this Lego Technic 8297 Off Roader II set with Power Functions elements for 2WD; I don't know of any Building Instructions to make it 4WD. His Brickshelf Gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=358965 has a set of photos & LDD renders, plus a Parts List:

Here is the Parts List for MacGyvarek's version of the motorized 8297 set. The part numbers are from Bricklink ("The Unofficial Lego Marketplace"). The "Pimped 8297" version has a Parts List for each assembly at the end of the 102-page PDF Building Instructions that you can download.

MacGyvarek's version needs these parts (listed in the order that they appear on the Brickshelf parts image pictured below):

There is also the "Pimped" 8297 (scroll 1/2 way down the list on http://www.bouwvoorbeelden.nl/home_eng.htm to find it). Dutchman "bouwvoorbeelden" wrote,

"Yes, you will recognise this model as the Lego Technic 8297 Off Road car. But this is not a normal 8297. It is thoroughly PIMPED! This car has:

- a complete new roof with Spoiler, Air Inlets, Antennas and Six Rally Lights

- Widened windscreen

- Protective Side Bars and extra Bull Bar at the front

- Exhaust pipes

- A turning steering wheel in a restyled dashboard

- Metallic look with Black details instead of grey

- Transparent motor block

- Two Infrared Sensors in the roof

- Two extra motors for remote driving & steering"

It has an MLCAD file, a movie, PDF Building Guide, and a Parts List.

WOW!

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I appreciate it greatly. I was watching the Super Bowl so I didn't get back to this until late. Now it's time for bed! (work-3am) I think the "pimped" version is in my futer. I'll keep you posted.
