Hi Our local online technic community LEGO Technic Russia took part in LEGO Technic Trial challenge this november (08/11/15) For me it was a nice possibility to test my DIY obstacles I did with my father during summer and autumn. I was inspired to build such obstacles seeing this brilliant track by OzBen and Doc_Brown (http://www.eurobrick...78&hl=challenge). The goal was to made it modular and transportable. I used wood, building foam, natural stones and other stuff that is easy to find and work with. At first it was hard to imagine all different ideas. In the end I even build river pass module - based on plastic container that was decorated with foam, stones and painted. Some obsatcles was covered randomly by grippy sealant for better wheel grip. I have only one problem - how to fit all the stuff at two narrow tables...but result was very good! Here is Desert752 As for trial challenge: we had about 15 offroaders. Some of them was based on well known MOCs (like Madoca's pickup) and some was own creations. Contestants was divided by 2 groups 1) Trophy. Mostly civil SUVs with at least one open front differential. Rear can be locked or free. Wheels 62 or 68 mm. 2) Unlimted. Tuned SUVs with wheels up to 83 mm. No differentials and wheel gear reductors possible. The idea was that trophy car had better mobility and steering,and Unlimited was able to crawl everywhere. But locked rear diff at first group makes them crawl good as Unlimited trucks. So track times was equal. We measured track time and added extra time for hitting flags or using help of hand/wrecker. Desert752's blue Toyota 6x6 Wrecker worked there as TOW service) In the end we saw that both classes was able to compete each other. First role played driving skills and driving accuracy. Glad to saw there AFOLs from different cities of Russia and even from Belarus. As for me, I have to drive with all that stuff in my car 1300 km one way. We had a nice time there. Thanks for LEGO Group for given prizes. In the end, All phots here http://bricksafe.com/pages/rm8/trial-challenge-megabricks I have a short long video of that meeting. -
Lego Technic Trial Truck 4x4 (not Tatra)
filsawgood posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi everybody! Today I present to you my first experience of construction Trial Truck! During this year I was looking for your ideal 4x4 chassis. And in the end I came to this building. In the final, which turned this freak on 4 wheels medium size range (80-82 mm). The main idea of this project was the task of the displacement of the center of gravity down and forward is not at the expense of detail, as well as the compulsory use of the portal gears on both axes for high permeability and stability of large CG. The power installation in the form of two twin L motors located in the rear axle, where through the reduction gear torque is distributed to the axle gears back and forth, and then the rotation of spreads on all wheels through a gantry gearboxes. This arrangement limits the transverse rear axle moves up one degree of freedom. Yes, the rear wheels are posted on the obstacles, but discomfort on the track it does not deliver. Servo motor for steering is mounted on the front axle, which also lowers the CG and the sprung mass model. Power - LiPo, management - Sbrick. Number of pieces - 875 pieces Weight - 950 grams More photos you can find on my flickr and blog -
[WIP] Small 4x4 Vehicle
JJ2 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all: For this project I want make a car-truck that has good off road capability but is at a very small scale. Enough "talking" here are the pictures. I have the basic chassis done as of yet, and I plan to use a L-Motor for drive, a M-motor for steering, and a old 9v BB for power. Yes I know that PF parts dont work with 9v parts but I plan to use this method where you bridge the two metal parts with tiny pieces of aluminum foil. I am not happy with the front suspension because I needed to use some gears to center the drive chain The suspension is going to be live axle and probably only have one spring each. I do not know what bodywork I am going to put on it but ALL suggestions are appreciated. Expect more updates soon! -
RANCHER 4x4 or "how to modify the set LEGO 10248 Ferrari F40?"
filsawgood posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi guys! Today I am pleased to present new MOC - RANCHER 4x4. The basis of this model was a completely new chassis, the creation of which took me almost two months. The model is based on the support frame mounted with its two L motors, and a small battery pack. To fasten the frame of continuous two gantry axles - which significantly increases the reliability of the transmission. Servo motor is mounted directly on the front axle. As I chose the stake so beloved by all, but it is quite rare on the Tumbler wheel - 81,6x44 mm. I think this is one of the best wheels from LEGO, along with 94,3x38 from the Unimog. And I'll show you how to use it to modify the set LEGO 10248 Ferrari F40 :) Specifications and features: Four-wheel drive, portal axles uncut; Tires 81,6x44 (Tumbler) 2L motors - the drive motor; Servo motor - steering; 3xLED - lights; Small battery pack; Modular design - a body attached to the chassis by 4 points; Opened doors, hood and door body -
[MOC] Compact 4x4 Cherypicker
TomasHubik posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi Guys! I got ill and finally have some time to finish another compact truck. My target was to build functional 4x4 with diferential and suspensions in my favourite scale. Also, I wanted to move center of steering as close to wheel as possible, which I thing I did. Some info: Part count: 870 Dimesions: 50x15x22 studs Drive: 1Xl Motor Steering: Servo Beam: 2M motors Rear axle suspension Differential on both axles Openable doors I used baloon wheel but it also looks good with 4,95x20 tyres It's fun to drive and play, but it was more test, if I'll be able to build 8x8 in this scale, so i didn't put in it as much as i could. Here are some photos and short video: VIDEO: PS: 8x8 comming soon! -

Lego Technic Suzuki Jimny Trial & Trophy customs
filsawgood posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello! Today I am pleased to present to the general public of the two brothers - Lego Technic Suzuki Jimny Trial Custom and Lego Technic Suzuki Jimny Trophy Custom. They are united, above all, not just a long name, but also a common chassis, all-wheel drive and compact size. I was inspired to build a Suzuki Jimny sample 2001-2010 years. They are often prepared to take part in various off-road competitions, and that I thought - why not? And that's what came out of it. Enjoy ;) Models are made in the off-road style, and have all its attributes - extra lights, safety railings, stingers high clearance More photos and building instructions you can find on my lego technic blog here -

[MOC] Rock Crawler
Dalafik posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, I haven't posted anything here for a long time, because nowadays I build very rarely due to health issues. But finally I managed to complete this model - the Rock Crawler. The idea was to improve the perfomance of the 9398 set while retaining the same power scheme: a L-motor on each axle for driving and one servo to steer both axles. I also wanted to bring model's appearance closer to reality (9398 looked more like a monster truck to me). However I wasn't sure until the last brick placed if fixed gear ratio 5:1 would be enough to achieve rock crawling capabilities. And, as you can see in the video below, it seems that the model is slightly heavy for this setup. Well, at least it looks like a proper rock crawler (note: the overall simplicity of design and heavy use of panels was determined by the effort to keep model strong). Oh, and that black panel 5x11 at the back should be white (no more left in my stock). So, what do you think about it? LDR file can be obtained here (please read notes there before downloading). And some more pics: -
[MOC] 4x4 Mini Extreme Samurai
agrof posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi All, I would like to present my latest experiment, an extreme off-roader mini Samurai - yes, another one . The goal of this project was to see, what is the tiniest chassis I can build, with suspension, steering, and 4x4 drivetrain. I succeed to shrink down to 10 studs width, and for that I built the chassis and the body. The position of the IR receiver might be "illegal", I couldn't place it in LDD, but in reality it works without any problem. Well, the result is quite fine, but the front axle is not stable enough, too much slack left in it, and the gears can slip under hevier load. I tried to reinforce with rubber band, which brought some improvement, but not as much, as I was hoped for. Maybe one day I will build a completely new one, although as it is, pulling a 42043 is no problem for this tiny monster. The rest of it pretty stable, so all in all I am happy with it. Features: 1 XL motor, 1 Servo motor, MiniZip cable, 9V battery, weighs round 460 gramms. HERE You can download the LXF file. I hope You enjoy! -
Hello: This is my 5th gen crawler that I designed to be extremely robust and powerful. It features full suspension, 4x4 drive, a kingpin inclination, and 3rd party tires. IMG_5253 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr The suspension is full floating axle suspension that has a maximum flex of about 90 degrees and 2 inch of up-down travel. After many revisions of the suspension I found that the 1x16 link can serve as a suspension arm nicely and can bend without breaking making the suspension less likely to break of stress. The springs are triangulated making the suspension softer. IMG_5268 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr Many hours when into the "drive chain" because at first I wanted to have a actual drive shaft going to the axles but that did not work out so I went back to the old motors on the axles. The XL motors produce amazing torque but amazingly no parts were damaged in when driving over rocks, the only thing that can be considered damage in scratches. IMG_5257 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr When I first built this crawler I new that with the 3rd party tires + pivot outside of the wheels would = BAD! so I decided to build in a kingpin inclination to solve this issue. I used the 4L U-Joint's because I did not want to break any of my 3L's. IMG_5267 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr The wheels are 108mm and are slightly bigger than the 105mm power puller wheels. More photos are on my Flickr account Hope you enjoyed!

[WIP] Amphibious Sherp 4x4
Zerobricks posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
After skyping with a good friend of mine braker23 he gave me an idea to make A sherp 4x4. Here's the real deal: It took me an hour to make a first protoype in LDD, which you can see here: As you can see everything is built around the boat hull, so that the model can also float like the real thing. And here's the first rough build in the water: I used track elements wrapped around tumbler wheels to get the paddle shape. I will need 4 more track elements since 2 can fit with ease on each wheel: Underside you can see the reinforcments keeping the boat hull secured: So far there are soem problems with 36 tooth gears skipping under high torque which I belive I can fix by using 8L axles with stop instead of current 5,5 ones. If that doesnt help I can always use small turntables. I also need 4 more tracks, but currently I spent all my money on parts for silverfox and oshkosh 10x10, so these will ahve to wait a bit. I very surprised on how well this thing floats, but it cannot support much more weight, so the bodywork will have bo light and basic in order to keep it from sinking. Whats your opinion guys? -
Hello all! This time I'm making the recently showed here on EB russian off-roader, SHERP Right now I'm trying to keep the weight as low as possible to make it actually float.LDD file: http://bricksafe.com...sherp/SHERP.lxf Complete model LDD: http://bricksafe.com...herp/SHERP1.lxf Videos at the end of this post Pics of real one: Finished MOC: Enjoy!

[MOC] My first crawler
Jurss posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Made something with 4x4, no differentials, everything locked, tatra-like? suspension. Driven by one L-motor. Chassis Then some fast cabin -
For a while I have wanted to make a small 4x4 with independent suspension so as soon as this contest was released I went to work and have come up with this so far. IMG_5136 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr It has 4x4 drive with a center differential and a V2 piston engine. IMG_5138 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr The front suspension was inspired by Efferman's 11 stud wide independent suspension but I have to make improvements to the steering (working on that). IMG_5139 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr Here you can see the center diff, the 16t to 20t hooks the front diff to the center and the rear diff is connected through the power ball joint. IMG_5140 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr The rear suspension is nothing special if you were wondering. IMG_5137 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr Money shot! More updates coming soon! All feedback is appreciated! Hope you like it so far. Bye.

Need Help Building 4x4
ez3141 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, I am ez3141, and I am (evidently) new to Eurobricks. I am also quite new to the whole Technic system, which I only started to get into a few weeks ago. Recently I got the 42029 Customized Pickup Truck, which I added full Power Functions RC to, and also modified the front end a bit. Now, I am looking into converting it to a 4x4 model to be much better for off-roading. So, I am looking for help from any Technic builders who are experienced with building 4x4 off-road vehicles as well as familiar with the setup of the set itself. I would like to know a couple of things: What kind of specific pieces (sockets, connectors, joints, etc.) should I use to provide power to the front (steering) wheels? (I know how to for the back wheels, because they don't steer) Also, should I continue just using 1 XL motor for drive, or would 2 XL motors put too much torque/strain on the pieces? As well as just any other general tips when building/modifying these types of vehicles. I am willing to give up the fake engine and the winch/tipping bed if it is necessary to move the motors to the front hood area. Thanks in advance to anyone who gives me help; I look forward to becoming a more active member of the forum. Here's a picture of the truck (btw I'm planning to get bigger tires/rims for it soon!): -

Hy i'm back with another crawler saidly i'm not that good at making good astetics, lukkely functionallity is much better. here some pics DSC_0064 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0065 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr DSC_0067 by thenextlegodesinger, on Flickr at first i wanted to make a crawler with positive caster but it was the worst steering i had ever seen so i remade the axles so they are now negative. the front and rear axle are identical. What i wanted to make was a crawler with good power and steering which is achieved. now i have to make a body around it. ideas are welcome. TNLD -
[MOC] Super Drift Car (VAZ-2101 / FIAT 124)
KirTech LAB posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all! Today I’d like to present my new drift car. The main features are: independent front and rear steering, independent front and rear wheels drive. The model is stylized as a legendary Soviet car – VAZ-2101 (FIAT 124). Total length – 47 cm, total weight – 1120 g. Drift video: And a few photos: Instructions: Thanks for watching! -
As some of you may know LEGO is running a Technic Building Competition with Mercedes-Benz. I was looking forward to participate and it took me a while to understand what future truck would look like. Initial idea of building truck driven by both front and back axles was quite simple to implement. Two L-motors have been used for that. Steering is performed by Servo motor and truck is controlled remotely. Fun fact - chassis without aerodynamic cover is somewhat reversible and can be used up side down. Final model is very sturdy thanks to slick and strong body. Unfortunately, due to selected width rear axle is somewhat less reliable and has gear grinding upon start but drives normally afterwards. This is something wasn't possible to completely solve having double wheels per each side. [/url] Below you can check my vision of a truck in year 2045: Few more pictures can be found on my Flickr Stats: 2 L-motors for propulsion Servo motor for steering Small non-rechargeable battery box 44 studs long 17 studs wide 24 studs tall weights 1098g. no suspension -
[MOC] Audi allroad
Thirdwigg posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Some projects just take a long time to complete. The Audi allroad is finally complete, and since it took so long to come together, I took it apart yesterday. I guess I was a little more motivated by the disassembly, than by the assembly. More information is at thirdwigg.com. A video can be found , but keep your expectations low.Features: All wheel drive Steering by PF Servo Three speed transmission Drive by three PF L motors All wheel independent suspension Roof rack for all your toys Enjoy, and happy building.
