    Smallest Tank Climber

    TheNextLegoDesinger replied to oracid's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    when you wrote smallest tank climber i expected something in the range of 15x15x5. maybe you should have called it smallest stair climber still very nice build

    I knew this comment would come :) I can understand you feel it is a copy of the 42065, of course I tried to make it look like it (just like my other 4 look-a-likes) but in reality there are only 12 parts (not counting the tracks) in the same position, everything including the cabin, has been built from the ground up to make eveything work and fit. If a look-a-like is reason for disqualification or low votes, so be it, im not in this to win, i am in this for the fun and I enter to try and show something new or different. I personally do not care about how it looks, im all about the functions, i don't think this technic contest was about decorating a pullback motor, but to each his own way to have fun building, to me this was fun! I'm in the same cathegory as you, i'm also a guy of function, nether do i care of how it looks, but when it's finnished i try to make a nice body around it, which can take me more as 2x the time of building the inner part. but when i do, i get a feeling it's much more finnished. still, i get your point Greetz TNLD

    A great man once said “Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.” (G. Marx). When i saw a topic popping up of a tracked ripsaw, i was intrested. But when i saw the pictures, I was SOLD, i just loved the moc, it was so simple, yet it was so nice. i wanted something like that to. and so I ditched everything i had to do (studying) and i began. I started improving on the mistakes he made, and i made my chassis. added a subtractor put the motors in and started testing. for now i have only 1 XL but i'm gonna add another one when i freed that one from a moc (still have to make a topic about that one). this because it lack's a little bit of power (now 1:1 transmission, might change to 1.66:1 or 3:1) as suspention i wanted a soft but 'strong' suspension so i went with springs. i aslo wanted a lot of vertical clearance, so i used near vertical 'bogies'. For a feel of the size, tracks are 92cm long atm chassis is around 45 cm. PS: the side pannels are primarily for looks, secondarly for strength. PPS: the topic where i got the idea: Greetz TNLD

    simple but effective, nice maybe a little more bodywork would make it better. do you have those orange beams in LBG, it mightlook better then use the yellow as an accent or something (just thinkng to make it better, as i don't have a pullback car i like helping ;) ). greetz, TNLD
  8. TheNextLegoDesinger
    nice work, really one to follow. i would like to see a picture of the spring connection to the chassis, as i don't quite get it why it's done that way. still, nice job, keep going. greetz, TNLD
  9. TheNextLegoDesinger
    nice finished version, but i don't like the body. It's a copy of the 42065 and i know that's what the topic is called, but i think it doesn't fit in the 'mind' behind the contest it's made to make new moc's, not half moc's. i really think you can come up with something better. but still, nice chassis greetz TNLD

    TheNextLegoDesinger replied to Matty04's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    DUDE, I'm gonna try and build something like that to, i don't like it, nether do i love it, I ADORE it. it's just SO (because swearing isn't allowed ;) ) awsome. The problem with the track is probrally dude to the slack of lego technics. you might be able to avoid it by using 2 connection points, wide from each other.

    TheNextLegoDesinger replied to 3650tom's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    instead of using a moutain bike tube, you could use a race-cycling tube cut in half, they have a diameter of just more than 1cm non inflated so you get a 3.14 wide band and they are prety long so you have plenty of length. race cycling tubes are thinner and rounder so 2x better i think

    yes, unless, you make the lever different, you can acchieve different distances. i.e. if you make the lever for the first and last 1 stud, and for the second and third 2 studs, and make the first half move oposite to te second, you can actually make tank 'turn' forwards and backwards

    same opinion as @Leonardo da Bricki

    @Tommy Styrvoky I must say your model looks astonishing, although i didn't like the torsion bars, as it isn't so real life. that's what i like about the pnuematic aproach, but i get that the weight makes this near impossible.
  16. TheNextLegoDesinger
    i wouldn't call it a tank, i'd rather say it's an APC but the idea i awsome

    Hy today i started making my first lowboy trailer. like this one but with less studs i wanted to maake one to fit on the B model of the 42043 arocs. i started making the detach system. DSC_0011 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0012 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr when i wanted to make the axles, i got a little problem. i want to make one with these tyres because they are the only one so small. Because i have only 8, i was questionning about 3 single wheeled axles or 2 double wheeleed axles i am also going to make a dolly trailer so i can use it to pull both my trailer and my dumpbed. so if someone has a good dolly trailer please help me. thanks TNLD

    [WIP] lowboy trailer

    TheNextLegoDesinger replied to TheNextLegoDesinger's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    There is no place for it as there are crossbeams cossing it. They do only run till the middle axle.

    TheNextLegoDesinger replied to TheNextLegoDesinger's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling

    Oh yeah, i know that. I knew it was a problem but I was out of studded beams so i couldn't fortify it that way. I might think about another way to strength it butI dont now atm. In that pic it was 5mm of the ground at lowest.
