  1. It's a solid axle setup, the most basic suspension there is. See here for info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_axle Commonly used in old cars, muscle cars and trucks.
  2. This looks awesome! And btw, congratz on making it on the frontpage of the lego car blog http://thelegocarblo.../30/the-tudors/
  3. Thanks! That looks like a simple enough tutorial to start with But will any LEDs do? And how do you make them compatible with PF battery boxes?
  4. I love the idea of adding this sort of lights to lego models. I don't know ANYTHING about electronics or soldering, so does anyone know if there's a "guide" for dummies on the net? This looks so much better than the normal PF lights, which doesn't light things up that much..
  5. The performance looks awesome. Few trucks/cars would manage what you accomplished with yours, especially when climbing that board. I thought it was going to tip backwards for sure, but the weight distribution in this car is obviously perfect
  6. Cool! Am I correct when I assume that you could actually (to a certain deegree) "meet and climb" a vertical object with the front? And are those the rims used on the unimog? If so, I would love to know where I can order some of those tyres! They look awesome
  7. Very nice! This is the sort of customisation in lego I really like! Keep up the nice work!
  8. The 24-16 diff is also very good. If you're into modifying, you can cut and reduce the axlehole depth on one of the old 24T crown gears, to make it compatible with the 24t gear on the 24-16 diff, eliminating the needs for gears in between. The result is a very compact diff solution
  9. That's just a matter of how you build it The 8T gear is just hopeless when it comes to heavy duty drivetrain. I guarantee you that this is the first part to break in drivetrain applications. With the old style diff 28T, the 12T gear is the way to go. You just have to know how to build it properly so the gears won't slip.
  10. Why do you need to only use the 14 teeth gear? I ALWAYS use the old style 28 teeth diff with either a 12 or 20 tooth double bevel... It's the strongest diff lego has ever made.
  11. Most extreme monstertrucks are actually fueled by a mixture of turpentine, whiskey, and gasoline/diesel, so I suppose vodka could work too "Everything is allright with enough vodka." But the model looks very nice!
  12. This looks very nice! May I ask what you have put in there? Brass wire/rod? And I totally agree with you. Sometimes, standard lego parts will not allow for a complete and functional model, simply because they just don't work. This is a brilliant example of just that.
