    In this special film, we put our 6x4 pullback car chassis to the test by racing it, taking it to the skate park, and jumping ramps! The vehicle itself is propelled by two pullback motors. LEGO pieces were unfortunately harmed in the making of this video. CAUTION: This video is action-packed. Comment below your thoughts on the video editing style! If you like it, I can try putting together more of these in the future :)

    Last month marked the second anniversary of my YouTube channel, so I decided to recreate the first video I posted: a high-speed Sport Utility Vehicle. In different ways, my production skills have improved, and in other ways, not as much. I think I still have a lot to work on... do you guys have any suggestions? I'd like to know how my videos are perceived. Thanks to all who have been watching my videos and have subscribed!

    Rally Racer is the successor of Rally Rac3r. The difference? This Rear Wheel Drive race car is a tremendous success. As complimented by Karl4123, this vehicle has "sleek and stylish looks." It is geared up 36:12 or 3:1, and it is decently quick with decent torque. Many styling cues have been added. Why is there no InfraRed Sensor, you may ask! Well, thank you for asking! With the help of Builderdude35's tutorials, Rally Racer drives via Bluetooth! Rally Racer's Intelligent Brick acts as a receiver, and a second Ev3 Intelligent Brick is the remote! In this way, I am able to control Rally Racer from 200 feet away. Rally Racer features twin dual exhaust. The taillights feature vents which mimic the outsource of airflow, similar to that of the Ferrari 488 GTB. The spoiler is a low, lean downforce-inducing wing. The headlights are a twin-cluster with a main headlight and an auxiliary tinted light, not including the rally style fog lights. The chassis is extremely compact in and of itself. I borrowed the drivetrain design from Builderdude35's Falcon FAV100, so thanks! Two Large Motors drive a 36z gear which drives a half-bevel 12z gear (these are encased about an H-frame). It then transfers drive both to the front and rear of the robot. There is a differential which transfers power to the rear wheels, while the front axle extends to the front of the car as a neat auxiliary cue. The rack and pinion steering setup is controlled by a Medium Motor, and stabilized with a LEGO rubber band. Check out the metallic exhaust tubes while you're at it! Please comment if you have any questions or... comments. I appreciate any feedback whatsoever. I am quite please with how this turned out, especially when comparing this with my original Rally Rac3r model.

    Here is the program in full detail in case anyone is interested...

    In this video, I show you what exactly comes in the 9797 Lego Mindstorms NXT Base Set with this stop-motion style unboxing. If you liked this video and would like to see more unboxing videos in this style, please let me know!

    In this video, we build the base model from the 9797 Lego Mindstorms NXT Base Set. Verdict: While it is a great starting kit, don't expect to be able to build anything more than very simple and basic robots. It's almost impossible given the extremely limited number of pieces.

    As you may notice, my brick-fat break is almost over... not quite yet, but expect big thing soon!

    PF Motors or RC Buggy motors?

    The blue has a more organic feel as it exposes the studs within, while the green has more of a glow about it and somewhat inorganic. Depends on what you're looking for, but personally, I'd go with the green.

    42029 Lego Technic Customized Pickup Truck in highly modified form. Features include ultra-firm dual independent suspension. Motorized with Power Functions.

    Thanks, Technic Jim!
  15. DamonMM2000
    Thank you! The headlights indeed use the Power Function LEDs. One reason they seem pretty bright is because the headlight design sort of diffuses the lighting, which makes for a nice effect. The winch was actually already included on the set, I just motorized it.

    Why are Eneloop Pro batteries good?

    DamonMM2000 replied to Technic Jim's topic in General LEGO Discussion

    I use 2400mAh Energizer 1.2V Power Plus Rechargeable batteries, and they last quite a while for me.
  17. DamonMM2000
    I love the use of the ball joints as headlights, that's ingenious! It looks great too.

    This is my second review of an official Lego Technic set (the first one on the 42026 Black Champion Racer: ).I am reviewing the 42029 Lego Technic Customized Pickup Truck. Includes unboxing, speed build, overview, impressions, and more. This is my first time experimenting with blue screen/green screen. Please share your thoughts. Is this review significantly better than the review I did on the Black Champion Racer? Also, what do you suggest about this review? Any improvements in method / structure / etc. to be made? Thank you!

    The original Aero Racer featured a dual motor setup. This is a completely overhauled pullback racer with three hard-coupled pullback motors. Combine that with large tires, and it makes for a superb setup for more than adequate torque and speed and exceptional distance run. Features flex axles and (non-functional) V8 piston engine.
  20. DamonMM2000
    This model is clearly bigger than I originally thought!
  21. DamonMM2000
    I see new panels! Hopefully this set won't cost more than $140... (That is, unless this model is motorized!)

    Awesome looking pullback model!

    The SharkBot robot is built with Lego Mindstorms Ev3. Modified version of Builderdude35's Timmyton 5.5 robotic shark. Features aerodynamic styling, mechanical upgrades, modified programming, and more. Autonomous and Remote Control. Styling change is dramatic. The model is overall much more streamlined. Both the sides and rear are now seamless, filling in gaps of the original model. This is accomplished by incorporating 0% grade panels. Along side of looks, the panels are used for additional structural purposes. Every single panel has been changed for another of different color, size, etc. Many Technic pieces have been swapped out for another of different color. The orientation of the tail is altered. The top of this model incorporates studded Technic, which enables use of slope pieces. Also noteworthy are the fins. Complex connections make up the larger side fins. Tires are of smaller size. These tires are of firmer nature than the original tires, and this model benefits from thus. This results in more torque but slightly reduced speed. Accuracy is also a benefit. Due to problems with the original Timmyton 5.5 touching walls and running into walls at an angle in Autonomous mode, the InfraRed Sensor is moved forward one stud, thereby increasing its proximity away from obstacles when detected. The program is also adjusted accordingly so that there is a reduced chance of this model running into and/or touching obstacles. Technical features: 1 Programmable Intelligent Brick 2 Large Motors 1 Medium Motor 1 Color Sensor 1 InfraRed Beacon / Remote 1 InfraRed Sensor Mechanical Features: Moving jaws Moving tail Tank drive Please again note that this model is not 100% MOC. This model's core is Builderdude35's Timmyton 5.5 robotic shark.

    Wow, I am extremely surprised at the speed of that truck! I must get my hands on those new tires.
