Most probably posting on insta or FB is easier and faster than in here, what is more giving a like (or not) is also much easier thing than posting on forum where you have to think a bit more about what you want to say and post it. Next thing I observe is lack of criticism (I mean this constructive one). If your MOC has many basic flaws, then you should receive some constructive criticism. What I obserwe is lack of it. And without it, MOC creators will never improve their designs, because there will noone who can point what is clearly wrong in their constructions.

@Lasse D totally nailed it. There is nothing to add to be honest. There is so much more feedback (positive, negative but at least there is one!) on other sites like FB, YT or rebricable than in here... I am here maybe for 2 years, but for me forum slowly becomes the place only for checking the leaks...

Stud.io seems to be more user friendly, but I has some problems when you try to use it to prepare instuctions.

If not from TLG, then Buwizz is your guy ;) I hope soon they show as all what we need :)

Hi, I would like to present you my last creation - ukrainian truck KrAZ-255. I was inspired by the model which is available in PC game: Spintires. The truck is built in scale 1:23. I tried to implement some key features of real truck, like suspension, drive train, details like engine and easy aplicable additions, which are present in the game. Enjoy :) Some details: - weight: 995g - dimensions LxWxH: 49x15x18 studs (without mirrors and additions) - live axle suspension - separate drive shaft for each axle - 6x6 drive, no diffs (L motor) - steering (M motor) - front and rear lights - working fake V8 engine - openable hood and doors - additions! Video: Instructions: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-55793/keymaker/kraz-255/#details There are some additions too! All of them are easy to connect or disconnect to swap to another. The first is simple crate: The second addition is prepared to wood transportation: The last one is the most advanced one - the crane. It is also partially remotely controlled. Functions: - rising/lowering two sections of the arm - crane rotation - gripper rotation - gripper closing/opening - extendable and lockable outriggers - openable maintenance section More photos: https://bricksafe.com/pages/keymaker/4.-kraz-255 I hope you like it :)

Because of the year of production, I would say a soviet truck, but I definitely will not advertise this system. Ukrainian origin is far proper one. Thank you for pointing this out, I edited the first post.

I am back to this project. As this is my favorite one so far and as this truck (among my other MOCs) received the warmest opinions from this rather demanding eurobricks society I decided to prepare instructions for this model:) This is my first MOC available on rebrickable.com, and my first, proper instruction. It is free for all who are willing to build it and have proper parts. I hope you enjoy the building process and final results and you share your opinions about it.

I'm not a fan of pneumatics in practise, but it looks great and with this scale, even better.

I voted. The question is, do you plan to stay "clean" like with Charger or modified parts will be allowed?

I added two manual functions: - ripper tilting (manual) - blade tilting (manual) and prepared video, enjoy :)

The only ones who sucks are chinese copycats. Period.

I am looking forward to instruction for Charger. @nicjasno where I can put my suggestions? I have two in mind.

@nicjasno I have a question about bionicle parts you use in front suspension. I mean for example connector with ball sacket (93571). I orderd couple of them and they fit veery tight. Does this connection anyhow slow/block the front suspension?

And frame 11x15 in black.

Blue lift arm is too short/located 1 stud closer to the front. Second thing, look at the engine, the right side, do you see something wrong? :D

Photo is a bit crappy and under angle so maybe... We'll see. But in case you are right, the tire has to be quite big to keep proportions with this type of rim.

Where do you see this rim? In front there is some sort of slim rim, definitely not the same as in dodge.

Am I seeing right, jeep has rims from 10265? Edit: No.. There are not :(

That's a shame, I thought it is some valid indication about Ferrari model.

Anyone, anything? I found something like this:

And this is also very important info (apart from concept of gearbox itself of course). Thanks to that everyone knows, that this concept can be used in RC models without fear to lose integrity or skipping gears. Thank you for that!

I would appreciate a good habit to presenting gearboxes working under some load. Because there are many, many brilliant ideas and concepts, but part of them are useless if you put some average load on them. They start to skip, lose integrity etc. So I wish to know at start, which one are only nice concepts, and which one actual can deal with some load and be used in RC middle scale models.

Thank you. I'm recreating this solution: And somehow 6539 is ok in this build (I assume, I do not have it). But 18947 touches diff case (not much, but still). I know that 6539 is shorter - 2 studs but I do not see how it fits there.

I have question for owners of part 6539 and 18947 (driving rings). Is 6539 slightly narrower in diameter than 18947? Because I am building live axle with diff lock and 18947 touches diff case ;/

Thank you, I have found what I needed on one of your streams, when you were improving front bar :)
