__________________________ Posted May 18, 2014 Looking good! I love the bodywork. Could you put the whole body in black with red highlights and interior? Also, you could expand the bull bar to protect the lights with simple axles. No need to raise the bodywork- but an 8297 setup on the suspension would be cool. http://www.bricktrucktrial.com/spip.php?article107 portal axles here. You should make both a motorized and non, but capable of, motorization model. (Since some people already have the motors, IR Receivers, etc. Also, could you use portal axles?

Lakop Posted May 18, 2014 A tidy little model making good use of your suspension set up. Can I ask, in the first model the wheels used are from the skip loader? H Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat-Ard Posted May 18, 2014 Hi piterx, yes, indeed you created a very nice little MOC!!! What's the scale of the model? My guess is around 1/10 - 1/15... Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted May 18, 2014 yeah i think i could make really lot of attachments to it! unfortunately portal axles can't be added easily,..it would involve some major changings at the moment im trying to convert it into a red and white rock crawler with motorized winch :P let's see if i can do it! A tidy little model making good use of your suspension set up. Can I ask, in the first model the wheels used are from the skip loader? H yeah those are the new wheels! i actually don't know what scale it is...but compared to the blueprint is proportioned ahah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
__________________________ Posted May 18, 2014 Winch would be great! Also, does it have a gearbox? One high-speed gear would set you apart from other Technic builders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted May 18, 2014 no man, no gearbox...i could actually add a gearbox if i remove seats but then it would look ugly :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nico van Duin Posted May 18, 2014 Looks realy nice! I think it's a good choice to sell it ready to motorize and I would realy like to buy it when it's available. do you have any estimations of how much it would cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted May 18, 2014 i don't think it would cost more than 30-40 euros without motors, considering the shop is buying pieces and have to gain something on sells while lego can produce pieces lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trawler Man Posted May 18, 2014 I would love to build this....like, right now. What a great little model. I need something tiny to screw around with on my desk. This would be perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skriblez Posted May 19, 2014 Great work as always! Ill buy instructions and/or full moc :) Would buy it with PF but that will get really expensive because of the silly import tax we have. Like all the different mods you make for it. Could be an extra kit for people to buy? One with PF and one/more with different customizations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted May 19, 2014 Im not sure yet...i'd like to give instructions for atachments as well, but i'd really love to see what you guys come up with! nothing could make me more proud than seeing you guys having fun with a model i've built :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nazgarot Posted May 19, 2014 I would love to see this set in a variation ready for motorization, and a variation with full RC. It might also be cool for kids if you make a couple of add on packs, like styling addon, RC addon, offroad addon etc. And it might help sell the model as well as bring a little extra income to your sponsor. Thanks for the great inspiration, and thanks to blackbird for reminding me of how important it's to give feedback in a comunity like ours. Hope to see the model in a store soon! -ED- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smatdude13 Posted May 26, 2014 Hey piterx, I love this so much. It looks like a more professional version of your panda. I have one question: Could you show a few pictures of how to steering works? Or does it use the same as the panda? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jurrian Posted August 7, 2014 Do you have any instructions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyCW Posted August 7, 2014 I think there are some renders and more detailed pics of his Panda and it has a very similar chassis. As far as bodywork there is nothing as far a I know, but the pics should be enough to get into the ballpark. Welcome to Eurobricks by the way. v/r Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jurrian Posted August 8, 2014 Thank you, i find it also a great moc, I would build himself. Can you make PDF OR ZIP instructions? I am from holland, sorry for the little bit english Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legomuppet9 Posted August 8, 2014 Thank you, i find it also a great moc, I would build himself. Can you make PDF OR ZIP instructions? I am from holland, sorry for the little bit english That would be quite hard, also instructions often do take longer to make than the model itself.. and as it's such a small model I am Sure you can build it from the photos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted August 8, 2014 hey guys :) the instructions are ready but you'll have to buy them from the shop that i made that model for.... i think anyway instructions will be cheap! once they put everything on their site i'll tell you :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacm93 Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Hey Piterx, I saw how long ago this post was last commented on but figured it was worth the (long) shot asking if there had been developments with instruction availability. Is there any way of getting hold of some? This is one hell of a moc, both aesthetically and by the look of the above photos, functionally too. You've done a brilliant job and should be proud. I look forward to your response. Edit: P.S. I checked the store you mentioned (both mangiobricks.it AND the BL store under that name and they have nothing that I could find). Help would be GREATLY appreciated! Edited July 29, 2015 by sacm93 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted July 29, 2015 Hey :) Well, instructions are ready, I sent em to the shop, they paid me (in legos) but somehow it seems they never released em :\ I haven't heard em in ages...I really don't know what to do ... but you know....if you check on this thread here, it doesnt change THAT much from the vitara, actually it is even a better chassis http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101005 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacm93 Posted July 29, 2015 This is perplexing to say the least! There's seriously NO reason either model or instructions wouldnt sell. Perhaps sending them a message may start the ball rolling again. Thanks for the link and quick response! As far as I can tell I have a reasonably suitable chassis design for a similar moc (compact 4x4 of the same scale), but am really intrigued by how you managed to stuff such compact axles under it. I am new to building live axles but have a really pollished idea that I want to do justice. This 4x4 of yours looked like the best thing to learn and adapt from.

MaxSupercars Posted July 29, 2015 Piterx that's funny sweet off roader... I like fun to play quick build MOCs... :) Max... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piterx Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) this is the front axle....you'll need to gear the steering system down to 1:2 if you connect it to a servo ;) i think the problem is that Italy mostly consumes minifigs... technic don't sell that much, so they didnt even put it on their site.... who cares btw, italians deserve minifigures xD Edited July 30, 2015 by piterx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Car Posted July 30, 2015 Nice 4x4!It looks great and as you said,tidy and clean.I think that it has all the functions a small scale car must have as the wonderful suspension,opening doors and hood.I stronly believe that many of us will buy one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
