42145 Airbus Rescue Helicopter MODs and Improvements
ace_klimax replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
will you please share digital model? i would love to have enough time for this ;) I'd try to build it from older parts with 4-rotor blades, as i'm mostly interested in the gearbox and avionics (and then compare it to my redefinition of 9396 helicopter model from 42082 https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-95253/klimax/helicopter-42082-rough-terrain-crane-c-model/#details) will buy it later, once the price drops a little \thanks -
42145 - Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter
ace_klimax replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I just noticed, it's model of Airbus and not Boeing, thus meaning TLG has licences with both major airplane companies, interesting... -
42144 - Material Handler
ace_klimax replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
TLG has plan to release pneumatic backhoe? are there some of this rumours? I would be tempted. but funny thing, 2 months ago i just finished backhoe loader from 42082 set (so no pneumiatic, but just lineart actuators), inpired by JCB Sitemaster 4CX/5CX or CAT 444F2 more here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/klimax/42082-backhoe-tractor -

42141 - McLaren Formula 1™ Race Car
ace_klimax replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
What i like: * panels (fan of orange pieces) * tires (finaly 4 tumbler tires in 1 model) What is missing 1) HOG (removable like in defender) 2) link joint to DRS 3) removable front wing 4) more detailed engine (but not with much system pieces!) 1-3 can be easily achieved and will be first mods, after set will be released On the other hand I understand not implementing 10-gear selector gearbox (1-8+N+R), because it's not mostly visible and speed changes in engine. I didn't want make some crypled version (2/4 gear) shifting in my MOCs from design point of view, it looks OK, some holes between panels might have been covered better 1-3 is easily doable https://bricksafe.com/files/klimax/42110-formula-1/03.jpg I might buy it second-hand or severely discounted at the end of production (for panels or tires), but i prefer mostly real technic models (gears and functions) -
[APP] BrickController2

I want to thank developer of this app to allow me to use physical controller for my RC creations. It allows me to make really enjoyable RC models for my children. I understand android limitation to keep phone display 'shining', but at least some diming should be fine, if possible.

[MOC] Trophy Buggy (42077 c-model, Baja Class One Unlimited Buggy or Dakar SSV)
ace_klimax replied to ace_klimax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
hello, I don't think so, LEGO is trying to avoid higher speeds, so it is not potentially harmfull to to little children. Buggy motor is the history and all new PU sets are slow as hell. So then comnes us as MOCers to come with fastest solution fomr existing motors ;) Thanks fo liking the model, have you built it? and if yes, how do you like it, how does it drive? -

Is there a way to create instructions automatically in Stud.io?
ace_klimax replied to Chiaroscuro's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Thank you very much for your software, i've just tested lxf2ldr.html and it works flawless I'm creating submodels in ldd mainly as steps adding new bricks, so when transforming via your code and loading to stud.io, my model still needs some polishing of releasing the steps and creating real submodels, but its much better, then creating it from zero. Big thanks -
42124 Off-Road Buggy
ace_klimax replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was thinnking about gear ratios on back axle and couldn't figure out the gear hidden behind wheel to comply with 36 visible connected to motor on lenght of 5 studs. Will there be whe newest differential? And if I'm not mistaken, differential might not be good idea for buggy, where there is a possibility that wheels will bounce off the terrain and it might loose traction on 1 wheel limiting traction on other wheel, that actualy stays on the ground. I experimented with this on my RC version of 8048 buggy (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-51165/klimax/8048-buggy-rc-mod/#details) and never thought putting there differential for the reason written above. Can you share digital model of this buggy? thanks -
[WIP] Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42082 c-model)
ace_klimax posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was excited when 1st picture of new 42113 set leaked, finally something different than 'car' Even the color design was ok, not to tell it's military plane. But I decided to build by own version as 42082 moc, started in first half of June and I'm about 75% done. All was based on that 1 picture and blueprints. My model should have around 2500 pieces and 6 motorized and 5 manual functions + rotation of wing to transport position not yet decided My model would be 10-15% bigger, more correct - based on dimensions of known measurements Unfortunatelly I will not have this nice rotor blades :( Right now I'm working on central gearbox I wanted to squeze behind cabin to left enough space in cargo area to be used for something different (on top of battery box) space is limited, so it's more comlicated than i actually expected Unfortunatelly i will not have enough time to finish it till end of summer due to some vacations and limited time for building. When i have seen presentation 42113 video: I can see some problems in official model: * not enough power for rotation of gondolas (clutch pins) * elevator moves in opposite direction as it should * dimensions are not 'correct' Unfortunatelly with showed function I'm not much impressed. I understand the limitation for number of parts and final price (I do not have to fulfill, i'm limited just by model 42082 pieces) All said i'll possibly buy it, mostly to compare with my variant Difficult parts of the build: * rotation of the motor gondolas without small turntables not present in 42082 set * 3D avionics handles without technic links (couldn't make it in one, so I used 2 'driving sticks' on top of the rear part of model) * gearbox (in progress) * transfer 3 functions from airplane body to wings still with option to rotate wings (rotor function will be available always. Flaps and gondola rotation will be 'connected' outside the turn-table via gears and will work only if wing is in standard flyable position) functions (function not available in official 42113 set writen in bold): motorized: * rotors + V4 engines (I know, that there should be radial engines, but at least something than nothing) * landing gear (linear actuators) * inclination of gondolas * cargo door bay * rotation of wing manual: * side doors on right side * avionics - rudder, elevator (correct way), flaps * colapsible rotor blades (only for liftarms, but compatible with new rotor blades) * rope with hook + Easy to replace battery box + Color design: body + rotor gondolas in BLACK; wings + bodytop + avionics in RED Any sugestions are welcome! thank you some pictures (more pictures on bricksafe): -
[WIP] Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42082 c-model)
ace_klimax replied to ace_klimax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Little update on building the 3d model. Gearbox is ready, but providing only 5 functions All functions are working fine, i just needed to slow gear movement a little bit, so it's not so quick, with exception of rotors rotation, which should be quick I spend at least 3 weeks tuning the gearbox and all connected gears and axles, to squeez it inside the plane body, which wasn't easy (and i was not able to fit there the 6th function unfortunately - so reel with hook would need to be operated manually) one win is is allready connected to plane body -
42054 - Claas Xerion 5000 - MODs, Improvements, Attachments, etc
ace_klimax replied to BrickWild's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I built it in red, but little different. I used 42082 Rough Terrain set as base, so this MOC will be 100% from this set without any other parts (sadly for tractor tires) But it came really well, details bellow: https://bricksafe.com/pages/klimax/claas-xerion-5000-trac-vc-with-8-attachments-from-42082 https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-47508/klimax/claas-xerion-5000-trac-vc-with-8-attachments-42082-c-model-42054-alternate/ Including 8 attachments (mostly new) , so for (at least my child) the playability is perfect :) -

[WIP] Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42082 c-model)
ace_klimax replied to ace_klimax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, best would be, if you'll follow me on rebrickable, so you will be notified by email about any new moc I come with ;) I had some vacations (and also some ahead of me) so the progress is slow. I have finished the 'gearbox', i'm starting thorough testing with connected wing I have to find if some speeds aren't too slow or too fast and maybe introduce clutch pins to rotor blades rotation Unfortunatelly i couldn't squeeze intended 6 motorized functions, so only 5 are there (rotor blades, landing gear, wing rotation, gondalas inclination, cargo bay door) Not sure if i'd implement rope with hook as manual function - space is there wing with gondolas and tail with active avionic surfaces isn't modeled in 3d yet, but are allready built and tested ;) (see previous post) I have allready seen instructions for canceled official model - I've taken totally different approach of leaving as much as i can cargo space free, possibly building some smaller model of car inside it my gearbox is positioned horizontally under the wing right behind the cabin the only thing I might borrow from official model is the function of upper part cargo bay door opening in oposite direction as the lower ones - this is really ingenious function I hope to finish the model in 2-3 weeks, and then will come some time for test builds and instruction making - it maybe take also a month to finish -

Using 3385 parts only from 42082 set (83.3%) Tractor is alternate of 42054 Claas Xerion 5000 TRAC VC Color design - red hood and roof, dark bluish gray cabin, black outside surfaces, different color for important details All functions from 42054 remains: Motorized functions: * cabin rotation and elevation * schaft driving Power Take Offs (front + rear) Manual functions: * Hand of God with 3 steering modes: * 4 wheel steering * front axle steering * crab steering * PTOs elevation New functions + details: * front exhaust * reinforced front and back axle * improoved front axle steering by adding second liftarm * front engine trunk is operated via linear actuator 8 attachments: (all can be built at the same time) Manual: * snow plough (front/rear) * dead weight * water tank for animals * herse Motorized: * dual lawn mower (front/rear) * reel and hook - both direction operations + neutral for freely unload cable * windmill (ECO) Building of a crane was not possible due to missing second large turntable, on the other hand remaining pieces gave me plenty of options Why windmill? I came with the question, if there is any tractor, that is strictly battery powered - everyone is thinking ECO these days. Right now it doesn't exist, but there are some studies of how it should work. My idea came like this: windmill has integrated battery storage and acumulates energy thorough the day. For every night tractor connects to it to recharge. There is also aditional diesel motor. Windmill is realeased as separate freemium model All attachments are compatible with original 42054! 392 pages of generated instructions for experienced builder (A4 landscape orientation) - sample on bricksafe Instructions created by KAMEIV Sorry for the long video, I wanted to show all functions, and there is plenty of playability with this moc! I always liked 42054, but it was released in my dark days, when I wasn't interested in lego. This model is so good, that's almost impossible to get it 3 years after it's release date, and noone is selling it in second-hand market. So I decided to build it from newer set. Funny think though, once finished this moc and prepared for shooting video I found it for good price on aftermarket, so now I have original and alternate ;) It took me about 2.5 months to finish this creation.

[MOC] Propeller Plane (42040 alternate, 42077 c-model)
ace_klimax replied to ace_klimax's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes, I was also surprised what all can be done with simple and limited set, that has only several gears to work with. It's just about some out-of-the-box thinking @Tomik build nice helicopter out of this set.- 4 replies

So wanted me to build real plane. I started small model in size of these 2 models, but soon decided to add more than rotating propeller so the model got bigger and bigger introducing functions. With size of almost as big as Prop Plane (old technic set from 1988) I could not fit every driving controller to pilots position and it was really hard to manipulate it by child, so I decided to move it outside the model. I strugled with making retracting landing gear operated from cabin and still moving engine pistons and propeller and at this point I remembered, that the lego technic allready has some really similar and newer set. I actually build almost the same model introducing 1 function on top of it. I just have to flip elevator moving direction. Floats was then easy, because pieces needed for them were stil available. I was not happy with color combination so rebuilded the model several times. Even finished model isn't much color pleasing :( but it's the best I could afford from available pieces.- 4 replies
