Awesome model, unique idea and very cool features, I just love it!

Hey guys! I wanted to show you my latest MOC, a life size hoverboard, built for the ongoing "The power of BuWizz competition", where you should build a model that demonstrates the amazing feats of strength that BuWizz can achieve. I've been working on this MOC for 2 weeks now, and I am very glad I got it done, just in time. It was a cumbersome task, as the forces at work are huge and I wanted to stay 100% Lego (not counting BuWizz ofc). As you will see in the video, I built it for my youngest son, age 5. He's 110 cm tall and weights 19 kg with clothes on, but the hoverboard can easily hold his weight. He can control it by himself, using the BuWizz beta app on my phone, which fits nicely on the handle bar, which also helps for balancing. Technical stats: 1 BuWizz 4 XL motors 16 Model Team wheels Height: 80cm Lenght: 45cm Width: 28cm Weight: 2kg First, let me show you some photos: Let's move on to the video: If you want to see more photos, see my Flickr album here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/braker23/albums/72157677275777147 Well, that's all for now, let me know what you think

I see [TC6] has heated the atmosphere quite a bit, so I propose a run in the snow, for relaxation purposes :) One of the best choices for this activity is my Dirt Crusher MOD, a snow-ready half-track beast that I named Tracker, for kicks. It's based on the amazing Prowler (RC), built by the one of the best Lego tank creators in the world, Tommy Styrvoky! Thank you, master ;) Photos of the beast after some test runs: YouTube video of it's first run on snow: The 2nd video, filmed closer, and after reinforcing the treads: I still have no clue how to embed a video on these forums, who can help me out? :) You will notice Technic bricks flying off in a spectacular fashion, it seems the half-stud pins are not the best choice for this powerhouse. But I do need some way to increase traction on soft or thick snow, so if anyone has any idea what to replace them with, please let me know, thank you.

From the first time I saw the theme for this Lego Technic contest, I was intrigued by it and wanted to give it a try, but it had to be a biplane. I have a soft spot for these aircrafts, after seeing them in many documentaries and old Hollywood movies. And after some time on the world wide web, I was hooked on the striking blue/yellow color combination on the Boeing Stearman Model 75. It's basically a military trainer aircraft built starting from 1934, in the United States. More than 10k were built until 1940, and after the WWII, they were sold to civilians. This was a great move, cause they were used as crop dusters, then as sport and acrobatic planes used in air shows. Around 1500 are still in use today, and many are at display in museums around the world. But enough of this, you can read more about it and see real photos on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing-Stearman_Model_75 I tried my best to replicate the sleek lines of this marvelous biplane, while including relevant functions, such as: Functions: - motorized rotor - working ailerons (front) - working elevators (back) - functional tail rudder Technical Specs: Scale: 1:19 Weight: 956g Lenght: 46cm Wing span: 52cm Height: 18cm As the model is finished, see some representative photos here: So guys, I managed to get the stickers on, so here is the final model: See more detailed photos on my Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/braker23/albums/72157705259798851/with/46179286365/ Video is done and online, let me know what you think about functions: Thank you all for your time!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that you can find this MOC on Rebrickable, if you are interested in replicating it. Here is the link: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-113359/braker23/boeing-stearman-kaydet-pt-17/

You never cease to amaze me, great work. The possibilities with LEGO are endless, and you proved it once more :)

Lovely job, mate. I tried to implement this suspension years ago, but I failed. Your rover performs very well, thanks for sharing!

Very complex suspension and RC motor placement is great, hope the large u-joints will handle that stress. Good luck and hope to see that video :)

Spot on design, lovely functions, nice detail, my kind of MOC :)

Now that's a major project, how many hours did you put into it? I love the way it works, its a an awesome GBC, great job!

I believe it's a really unique MOC, I just love the idea that you used 2 Ducati bikes. Gearbox is nicely integrated and it looks futuristic enough. Great job!

God, I love the new Fox so much! The steering solution is amazing, and the suspension system is out of this world! Great work, Jerry

Thank you very much, it means a lot as its coming from you, Han Solo

Howdy folks! Now this one has been a very fun build for me, as I never attempted to build a vehicle inspired by the Mad Max movie series, although I always wanted to. This was also a hell of an opportunity to use many of the odd parts that you simply cannot put on a normal vehicle, so I am thrilled to present to you, the frightening Gator Mayhem! As you can see, it's and odd blend between and alligator and a trial truck, thus it has 2 animal-specific functions (biting and hitting with the tail), 2 car-specific functions (driving and steering) and of course, 2 tank-specific functions (rotating and firing the turret). What I can tell you is that my two boys just love to play with it, shoot minifigures and eat them all, so I suppose my goal was reached. Functions-wise, I think it's pretty packed, as I managed to squeeze 6 motorized functions, a working V24 fake engine (two connected V12, placed diagonally), working steering wheel and fully openable doors, so you can exit the truck in a flash. This MOC took around 3 weeks to build, almost every day for 2-3 hours, so I can assure you that my dedication has grown a lot, but my wife's patience also reached a new level Technical specs & functions: - 4x4 Drive (XL motor) - Steering (L motor) - Open/close gator mouth (M motor) - Swipe gator tail left/right (M motor) - Rotating turret (M motor) - Firing the turret (M motor) - Turret capacity: 5 missiles - controlled by: 2 BuWizz bricks - a functional V24 fake engine - working steering wheel - openable doors - Length: 72 cm - Width: 30 cm - Height: 30 cm - Weight: 2.8 kg Official YouTube video, made for the [TC17] competition: First batch of photos I took in my kitchen/studio, enjoy the show! Second batch of photos were taken outside, in the most post-apocalyptic environment I could find nearby: As usual, for more detailed photos and many others, please check my Flickr album, below: https://www.flickr.com/photos/braker23/albums/72157713228122532/ Cheers and best of luck to all competitors!

Hello again! I just wanted to let you guys know I added the presentation video above and also entered my MOC in the [TC17] topic. Cheers!

23. Gator Mayhem So, this is my hybrid creation, a fatal combination between an alligator and a trial truck. This one has been a very fun build for me, as I never attempted to build a vehicle inspired by the Mad Max movie series, although I always wanted to. Functions-wise, I think it's pretty packed, as I managed to squeeze in 6 motorized functions, a working V24 fake engine, working steering wheel and fully openable doors, so you can exit the truck in a flash. Technical specs & functions: - 4x4 Drive (XL motor) - Steering (L motor) - Open/close gator jaw (M motor) - Swipe gator tail left/right (M motor) - Rotating turret (M motor) - Firing the turret (M motor) - Turret capacity: 5 missiles - controlled by: 2 BuWizz bricks - a functional V24 fake engine - working steering wheel - openable doors - Length: 72 cm - Width: 30 cm - Height: 30 cm - Weight: 2.8 kg Good luck y'all!

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it. The video will be done tonight, I will post it as soon as I can. Good luck to you all!

Now this is a contest to my liking I will definitely try to participate, hope my free time allows it. Thanks a lot Jim Good luck to you all!

This is huge! Brilliant work, hats off. I cannot even imagine the amount of work, research and time you put into this. But the end result is amazing, thanks for sharing your creation

I really like it, lots of details and plenty of functions, congrats!

Welcome to EB! I really see some potential here, and I am very pleased that you're a fellow Romanian. Your truck looks better and better, please make some overview photos when you have the time. And if you have any question, feel free to ask

Wow, it's so awesome! I love how it looks, how it moves and especially how it's built :)

MOCs of this level are very rare. I mean, balancing the raw power of 4 RC motors is a very hard task. I had troubles with only 2 Also, using differentials to divide their power is very innovative and useful, this baby should climb anything I am very pleased that you put the new hubs to good use, I was curious how they would hold out, in high torque situations. So we only need the video now, hopefully soon
