    Progress! So the main body has been pretty much finished here, except the rear and top (and wheels and such). The piston engine works perfectly! It is connected to a 8z gear which drives a 24z clutch gear. The drive transmits through a few universal joints and ends in a 12z gear meshing with the 20z gear used to drive the differential. Massively geared up throughout so that the piston engine runs plenty quick. More pretty soon…

    I like the look of the truck, and those BF-Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires looks spectacular!

    Beautiful looking truck! I look forward to seeing more of your creations.

    Heh, I think Sariel also built a replica of the same vehicle you based your MOC off of… Both are quite nice, to be honest!

    These trucks are huge and epic! The suspension systems on both are quite nice!
  6. DamonMM2000
    That looks neat! The suspension seems interesting.

    This is a large short-course style stadium truck built with Lego Mindstorms Ev3. It features independent rear suspension and a front live axle with steering. One Medium Motor controls the steering, and one Large Motor drives the rear wheels. It also uses the InfraRed Sensor for Remote Control. The reasons I used only one motor in this model are: 1. I was attempting to reduce weight, 2. The chassis of the truck is even studs wide, not odd; not allowing a very easy placement of two motors, 3. This vehicle was built as a test vehicle for the new 4-stud wide differential I got a while back but never used until now. The drawbacks of this truck are: 1. One motor does not exert nearly enough power, 2. The old-type differential makes it impossible to not use more gears in order to transfer the power, 3. All the gears used decreases efficiency massively, 4. The rear independent suspension worsens performance, 5. A 3:5 gear ratio was used (a 1:3 would have been better), 6. The truck is very large, bulky, and heavier than most other robots that I have built. I extremely apologize for the audio/video sync issues, I have no idea why the video turned out that way.

    Hey guys, I recently created a new channel trailer upon reaching 100 subscribers and decided to share it here

    Epic! I love the off road look!

    What do you mean by too much? I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!

    This is Daniele Benedettelli’s SENTIN3L…in an extensively upgraded form! I programmed an entirely new program for Blast3rDroid (mySENTIN3L) that enables Remote-Control of the robot! This robot is about 22% quicker than the original! The RC program has two channel modes: Channel 1 for regular usage, and Channel 2 for upgraded usage modified for quicker speed and more accurate turning! The color scheme has been revamped, featuring a lot of bold coloring (most of the black has been replaced with red and white). I added more panels and wider panels for improved aesthetic appearance. The COLOR CUB3 has been revised and now has four colors: black, red, white, and yellow.

    That looks sweet and performs spectacularly!

    Thank you everyone for your feedback! I felt that I should tell you guys what my LEGO collection is composed of (to get a better idea). Here's what I've bought over the last two years: (1x) 31313 Lego® Mindstorms® Ev3 set (1x) 42000 Lego® Technic Grand Prix Racer (2x) 42026 Lego® Technic Black Champion Racer (1x) 42020 Lego® Technic Single-Rotor Helicopter (1x) 8065 Lego® Technic Mini Container Truck + a fair amount of spare parts

    Hey guys, I have an update on the data loss I experienced recently. I have lost all my youtube video file archives, several important frames for my upcoming stop-motion animation, all documents of my book I’ve been working on, all videos for a Technic set review, a lot of pictures, and countless more. The bad news being said, I do have some good news (though not outweighing the bad). I am at a fork in the road considering my LEGO collection, and I really need your advice! The 45560 Lego® Mindstorms® Ev3 Expansion Set comes with 853 pieces (i.e. beams, pins, wheels and tires, gears and steering racks, panels, speciality parts). As for the other option, for $96 I can get two IR Receivers (V1), two XL Motors, one PF IR Remote-Control, and onePF Servo Motor. The spare parts included are as follows: four 3 Snap Gearbloks (Element ID: 4610378 / Design ID: 92909), two Cardan Cups with Cross Axle 2M (Element ID: 4610374 / Design ID: 92906), two 16z Gears (Element ID: 4640536 / Design ID: 94925), and six Slide Shoe Round 2×2 (Element ID: 4278412 / Design ID: 54196). Share your experiences, has anything similar ever happened to you guys? Also, which do you suggest I get? Thank you!

    Those are beautiful trucks!

    To my knowledge, EV3 Motors are fully compatible with the NXT Brick, and the NXT Motors and sensors are compatible with the EV3 Brick.
  18. DamonMM2000
    Thanks NXT45 for the feedback! I just checked out BrickLink and they do have lower prices on the spare parts I'm getting, but then I wouldn't qualify for free shipping on S@H.
  19. DamonMM2000
    As always, nice progress going there
  20. DamonMM2000
    That's a really neat idea!
  21. DamonMM2000
    The body looks similar to the Mini Cooper Good job though, it looks good!

    This is an unofficial review of Daniele Benedettelli's SENTIN3L from his book THE LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 LABORATORY. It serves as a guard/patrol type robot and features 2 Large Motors, 1 Medium Motor, 1 Color Sensor, 1 InfraRed Sensor, and 1 Touch Sensor. These function for synchronized front legs, synchronized laser arms for blasting/shooting, autonomous behavior, color-programming, and more. Also featuring the COLOR CUB3! Since the stickers aren't specific in the book, I added them in the most aesthetic design I could. Please let me know your thoughts on my review style; I gladly accept any advice and suggestions for improvement!
  23. DamonMM2000
    I would've loved to see a video on that test vehicle, but you're starting good on that Nissan!
  24. DamonMM2000
    That looks absolutely stunning, I need to print this out xD

DragRac3r is a really fast dragster with a 3:1 gear ratio powered by two Ev3 Large Motors. The rear tires are compounded for wide, thick rubber. An Infrared Sensor acts as the driver and allows remote-control of the model. Details such as the steering wheel and hands are included. It has massive exhaust pipes and uses unique building techniques (check out the engine bay's angled panels). It has realistic looks and has an aerodynamic exterior. Other details include cooling fins and more. It can also drift via skid steering! Oh, and did I mention custom stickers?
