42176 Porsche GT4 e-Performance
SaperPL replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looking at this abomination, I think it could make more sense if they would do something like make a hub with one servo motor and connectors for motors and batteries (plural) in a way that the battery has the form factor of a large motor. For an RC car it could be like putting two batteries for better power output - one per drive motor, or something like that, and better distributing the batteries in smaller form factor. But this... this needs to go, don't buy it - vote with your wallets ;D -
Compact flat subtractor - tank steering
SaperPL replied to SaperPL's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
While being stuck on the steering for my Sherman, I figured out a remix of this subtractor: -

Native Xbox controller support for LEGO hubs by Pybricks
SaperPL replied to kbalage's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Cool indeed. What about potential redistribution of the setup for instruction makers? It would make sense to allow some kind of commercial licensing that would require end user to buy the license himself just for a single model that requires the control setup, is best used with it. -
[TC25] 8109 Flatbed Truck

Seregiz built this model and made some photos with city tractor set: -
[TC26] Arctic Transport Base
SaperPL replied to Alex Ilea's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I was thinking about doing something like this (small RC model connected to the base) for this contest, but this is a near perfect execution - the drive train is a bit overcomplicated on the bigger mode/base, but thanks to that whole thing looks awesome. Great job! -
[MOC] JCB Fastrac with Rotary Rake and Tipper Trailer [Free Instructions]

LegoLounge built the trailer for his John Deere tractor. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-97357/SaperPL/agricultural-tipper-trailer/#photos -

Those night photos in contest entry look awesome. Great job! -
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 - 42115
SaperPL replied to Porsche96's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's beautiful, but do you have a photo with angled pose like in the first one, but without the box in the background so it's the car on clear background, to be the first in the thread? @Milan frontpage ? -

Another lego ideas submission not crediting original creator... -
[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic
SaperPL replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, when it comes to either companies having a process of acquiring model ideas/submissions, at least CADA doesn't hold the rights to the model and then not do it even when reaching 10K supports on the platform, to only release the model based on the idea one year later... Better for us AFOLs, but probably Lego knows what they are doing in context of accessibility for younger audiences. -
[TC26] Arctic Walker
SaperPL replied to Seasider's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The prototype looks a bit structurally messy, but the new design feels really solid in contrast to that. Can't wait to see it in action as well. Are you planning to increase the speed of movement though between the motors placed in the middle and those axles with worm gears? -
[MOC] Thirdwigg Farm Machines (New John Deere Gator)
SaperPL replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I think you're loosing a lot of traffic by not adding working links, especially when it comes to people watching your videos on the phone because it's cumbersome few clicks to manually go to a website and find your MOC there. My trick for my laziness when it comes to adding the link is that rebrickable is still accepting shortening links to just MOC number by removing everything after it like this: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-164338/thirdwigg/john-deere-gator/#details -> https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-164338 and this is short enough for youtube to not cut it away and optimise as it sometimes does. Anyway, good model, I have to get some of those tyres and try making something with them as well, because I keep seeing those in really cool small sized models. And also experiment with those rubber pieces you used for suspension, and btw I still need to try building the chassis from your TC20 model with those, gotta see this trick with flexible chassis IRL :) -
[MOC] Thirdwigg Farm Machines (New John Deere Gator)
SaperPL replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Cool little model. I'm curious though, as I didn't follow your progress on this one - did you perhaps try doing this as an alt model for the john deere tractor, or was being close to your tractor scale main focus right away? Also curious - what's up with your links to your rebricable MOCs under your videos? Is there a reason why you always have something wrong with them? I remember that youtube did sometimes cut some links off for me, but not for rebrickable. -
[WIP] Sherman M4A1 Tank (started from various tank steering prototypes)
SaperPL replied to SaperPL's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've written my concerns about it above. Note that apart from the servos here, there's still need to fit motors and figure out how to connect it to a 4-motor hub. I'm not sure if its worth it, since at this point it's an overcomplication of things that behave similarly to motors connected directly with proportional control and don't behave like differential steering with locked output proportion at all. And with two servos, I'd have to drop one of the turret functions and not having gun elevation in a model of this size would be really weird.- 52 replies

[TC26] Arctic Harvester
SaperPL replied to artemisovsky's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
This looks really neat. Especially the snow plow with those teeth and edges detailed out and great proportions between tracks and wheels at the back.
