  1. At least instructions will take half the time though!

    MOC: Back to the Future DeLorean

    What motors does it use?
  3. Dang that is the set I am thinking of using! Looks great though
  4. Yeah but he said he is going for a datsun
  5. But twisting is an undersirable effect as it would cause the axle to turn
  6. Looks good! Will this be at the Brickvention? And why only unimog parts?
  7. It is in polish, since I saw he was from poland I changed the region on the lego site to that:)
  8. The technic community is much greater over there (I think) than it is here in Australia. From my experiences at the brickvention the only technic models there were official lego models. I have been going for about 7 years now and I think I have only ever seen about ten MOCS there over the years. But I don't know about London
  9. Alright, you were on the money with with the xl motor, however, what is your budget like? Personally I would not buy the 88000 as it takes batteries, I would get 8878 as it is rechargeable and this is great for any MOC. Get the V2 receiver as I am pretty sure it has better power consumption/output levels compared to V1. Get the 8885, not the speed remote as it well, sucks for cars. And finally I'd say get the servo as it gives you more precise controls than an m. The max price for all of that according to the Lego site is: Option 1: Rechargeable Battery Remote 49.99, servo: 109.99, 8878 battery: 299.99, receiver 79.99 ,xl motor: 54.99 and charger 109.99 Total: 704.94 Option 2: 88000 Battery Remote 49.99, servo: 109.99, 8800 battery: 59.99 receiver: 79.99 ,xl motor: 54.99 Total: 294.96 Hope that helped;)
  10. I think Mr Tekneex should also be banned as he is just too good at making c models!
  11. Alright I am about half way there with the instructions now
  12. A lot of these parts come from the unimog u400 set 8110, but that is like $300+ and I don't know the price of an adaptive controller but I can imagine you could get them for that price. If you want I could cook you up a lego digital designer file, that way I could submit it to rebrickable and then you fan see all the parts. I'll get onto it right now
  13. I do understand how this works, given that america's population is a lot larger than australia they have a much larger consumer market which makes things a lot cheaper. But still since i had to order it from america. Anyway to answer the original question asked my understanding of how lego operates is to try to keep the cost down eg why are no technic creations accepted on ideas? It wouldn't be visable to include the battery box and charger, as they could potentially lose sales on those items if they are in a set. Hopefully though with new technologies we will see a new battery box in the future!
  14. Lucky people over in america! Here is the story: I go to the lego shop, 8878 $50, i realise it is the american site, change it to australian, it goes up by $50, now $100, but wait there's more, charger extra $50. Anyway so I am at the checkout now, free shipping for orders over $170, buy a pumpkin get free shipping. And to end the story it ships from america
  15. Someone made a seaplane, it is in a topic somewhere here. Just search for '42029 Seaplane' and it should come up:) By the way it is pretty cool! You should head over to the mods and improvements for it as well.
  16. You should make a cam out of bricks that resembles pacman and position it under the firing arm with something fixed to the arm that goes around the cam. Anyway should this be a topic for the gbc at the brickvention where we can get help and maybe set up a floor plan before we even get there? Hope that helps
  17. I wonder if this would work with my Land Rover Defender body...
  18. I'd say get 42000 as it has a lot more panels, larger wheels (with the smaller tyres) and is a lot more gears/mini LAs than 42029. But I have both of those sets and they are equally awesome. It is really up to you. But in terms of c models 42000 would be the way to go. If you haven't already seen Nathaniel Kuiper's c model (of 42000) you should check it out!
  19. Alright, I am sitting at the computer staring aimlessly at MLCAD. I don't want to take photo stream instructions as they take a lot of time. So I wanted to get into MLCAD and all the other things. Now is there a way to convert ldd to MLCAD? I am not great with these programs so I turned to all of you. I know that there are tutorials out there but I have no idea what they are talking about. I really want to make some professional looking instructions for this model that I have just made and I have made an ldd of it. Sorry if this doesn't make sense I m quite tired and eurobricks or my computer are running quite slow there is a lot of lag between keyboard to eurobricks. This took about 20 mins to type. Anyway I hope someone an help!
  20. Thanks Owen those tutorials are great! I have already made a few photo stream instructions, one of which where over 500 photos long which will be released soon (in a few months). Anyway for these instructions I think a will just stick with photos. Thanks for your help! Oh and thank you too Alasdair!
  21. I made one of these a while back but have never shared it for some 'reasons'
  22. That is quite small indeed! It will be interesting as to how you fit all of the 'stuff' in there
  23. Any other projects worthy of a teaser?
