[C-Model] 42039 Alt. Buggy 2.0
muffinbrick replied to offroadcreations's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It looks like renaissance of 42039 set. Some interesting alt builds was added on rebrickable in last couple of weeks I like your simple trailing arms. It would be interesting to add there driving somehow. -

After couple of months of hiatus i have built something new - alternative model of set 42039 - hotrod - with free instructions -
I've tried to build something new for my digital microcity project. Inspiration was East Slovak Museum in Kosice. Scale is finaly slightly bigger, then my other buildings, but not too much. I've made it in LDD/studio.

I've made instructions for that last one hotrod. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-22886/muffinbrick/hotrod-alt-42077/ Now it's time to build "twin brother" from 42039 :) I wonder, how it'll look with different colour scheme, bigger v8 engine and overall different set of parts(more gears, some missing links and specific panels etc.) -

After last year's mini dark ages with some small trips in different LEGO themes I've built something new from technic. Now it's alternative model from 42077 really car - hotrod. I've used both front and rear axles from A-model, as well as fake engine and seats with some small adjustments. It has obvious functions - independent suspension, rear wheels drive, fake engine, HOG steering and openable doors. -

I've seen it on rebricable. It looks realy great, maybe i try to build one. Thanks for sharing instructions -
I decided to use this old post to add some new dogital builds in the same scale. First one is inspired by St.Michal Chapel in Kosice.

[MOC] Backhoe Loader- 42054 C model
muffinbrick replied to BrickbyBrickTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Your C-models going better and better. I'd wondered, how you have done backhoe with limited count of actuators, and you've done it great. You deserve special C-model tag for those rows of C-models ;) -

What do you mean "smaller size"? It has 2500+ parts, 42054 was under 2000.- 351 replies

This one is two studs narrower, then standard configuration. -

Plus 1 to this. Other then that, it looks nice, most of all I like rear axle and overall shape. I would put HOG on the rear frame of the roof, but it just matter of taste and it's good as it is, too. -

This is how it looks from the side, without and with BB. Maybe I'll try to put rear shocks one stud higher on the body later, but now I'm ok with how it is. Thanks As I've said before, your Class 1 buggy was one of my inspiration to build something with two L-motors. I'm really happy, that my theories, how to improve it's capebilities work well. There was some points of struggle to build it, as I wanted, but most of them I solved somehow, so I'm optimistic now to finnish it in short time. -

There is some progress on my RC buggy, it's not finnished yet, but I've made improvements on biggest performance issues. First of all I've shortened wheelbase(one stud in hinge of rear arms plus steeper angle of them). I've completely rebuilt rear arms. They are now stiffer and hinged by small turntables from inner side plus pin from outside, independently from driving axles. Now there is lot less friction in drive. When motors are unconnected, buggy rolls rather freely, when you push it forward. Before those changes it stopped almost immidiately. I also made some changes in front axle. I canceled front wheels drive, mainly because of poor steering angle. Now it's way better. I also adjusted position of suspension springs and their connection to body and arms. They had tendencies to bend, actual solution is better, although it's still not perfect. There are still lot of work to do, most of all I need to find proper position of battery box(and necessity of rebuilding frame little bit). Other than that is just to put somewhere M-motor for steering, finalize roof and make some final additions(steering wheel, seat, maybe driver :)) And finally I'll have to find som ways to lower weight.
