Ice18 ACC Style Car
Saberwing40k posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So, a long time ago, I decided, on a whim, to make a small, fast car. Inspired by Mahjqa's Ice9 racer, I built something similar, but with 5 years of parts advances, namely the L and servo motor. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr it is similarly compact, but I was not able to make a nice shell for it, and lost interest in the project. As a matter of fact, this just goes to show that I don't really like fast things. Controlling them indoors, in a tiny apartment, on carpet, is a pain in the rear. Not helping is the fact that using stock PF outside is impossible, and then you have control delay, which all in all makes the experience no fun, at least for me. Maybe if I had an Sbrick... Anyway, let's go into some technical details. My version uses an L motor for propulsion, and due to the new diff, has a slightly lower gear ratio,3.57:1 vs 5:1 on Ice9. However, the rpm at the wheels is actually faster, due to the speed of the L motor, 971 vs 730 on Ice9. You do need quite a run up to use that speed, however. Because of the servo and L motor having more mounts, I was able to use them, as well as the battery pack, as stressed members. The chassis is quite floppy without the battery box, in fact. But hey, it adds lightness. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr Versus the above view, there is not really a whole lot to see that's different on the bottom view, but most people want it. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr The gears are braced on all sides, there is no way for them to skip. There is no way for axles to walk out, for that matter. Ice18 by Saberwing007, on Flickr Steering lock is good, there are no restrictions, or chassis rubbing. And, of course, my inspiration. Ice Nine views by mahjqa, on Flickr I might be able to build small, but I sure can't do stylish designs, or photography, like Mahjqa can. I also have an .LXF file, it has a canopy, which is optional. It will also be posted to Rebrickable, and I will add that link when it is moderated. LXF:http://www.brickshel...Ideas/ice18.lxf Rebrickable:http://rebrickable.com/mocs/Saberwing/ice18 Thanks for viewing. P.S. There is not going to be a video, there isn't really anything to show, and I need the servo for a project that's a contest entry. -
[MOC] Curbjumper T4 Dakar Truck
ChocolateEinstein posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
My fastest vehicle yet, this model is designed to take trails at speed, just like the real trucks to on the deserts of the world. I was quite happy with this, it's fast, but still capable of moderate terrain. it is, just like the real trucks, very easy to flip at speed. Rebrickable LXF file Instructions -
Black Rat Rod with custom battery
JJ2 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, I have been building with Lego technic and power functions for about 2 years now and like many others have discovered that the 7.2v of 6 rechargeable batteries is sometimes not enough for some creations. One day I found a old TYCO RC for free, looked at the battery and saw,"9.6v" I thought "SCORE!" and started making a adapter for it. I made this "Rat Rod" to test out how the extra 2.4v effected fast models. So enough talking here are the pics IMG_6020 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr IMG_6021 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr It uses: . Servo for steering. . 2 L-motors geared 3:1 for drive. . and obviously 1 custom battery "Box" The car was literately built around the Sbrick and has almost no open space in the chassis and it is very rigid for how small it is. The steering is regular rack and pinion and the L-motors were coupled together because there was sadly no room for a differential. I have not measured the top speed but I think it is around 6-10mph on a full charge. When I built the bodywork I tried to make it look tough and powerful almost like an armored bank vehicle. The battery almost took up all the space on the top so I had no room even to make a rough interior. I am not at all happy about the hood because of the steep angle and gaps but this was built just to test out the battery not to win a beauty award IMG_6024 by JJ2Sam, on Flickr Almost forgot the most important picture. Here's the video All pictures and more are on my Flickr account LINK Thank you for reading -
Update: The Wringe I has been taken by the Sea Rats. It got replaced by the Wringe II, which has been painted differently. The new Captian is Valerio D'Obarno. I am Jerome Monezterell and here is my first ship - The Wringe I. It is a fast cutter that has a bit of storage space, so she'll be registered as a class 2F. It is commanded by Jones DeRoy (the guy with the dark green Epaulettes) who is one of my most trustworthy men. It is not armed; I'll trust the escorting ships. I guess I'll just go on with pictures: Swapping load while on sea Sailing off I'm just trying through different types of hull techniques, if anyone has other suggestions besides the hull techniques by Captain Green Hair, Sebeus I and CB4 I would really appreciate those, as I don't feel like I want to go further with this technique as it seems a bit to flat to me. Edit 5th March 616: She has been captured by the Sea Rats. The crew is drifting around the ocean on a raft.

[MOC] Lego Technic Tilting Trike
Technic Jim posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all, This MOC has been in the building works for quite a long time but I am pleased with the result. First things first, this model was inspired by vmln8r's The Carver, one of only three other Lego tilting trikes I could find on YouTube. However, my model is bigger than his and faster, it has a bigger wheel diameter but same motor and theoretical RPM. The model itself is propelled by a L motor geared 1:1 and tilting is done by one PF servo motor geared 11.669:1 turning a turntable connected to the rear axle. The steering is done with the same motor which pushes and pulls a set of rods which aren't quite as long as each other which means that the front wheel is straight even though the servo is slightly offset. Enough talking, here are some pictures taken on a Coolphix L18: The pictures taken on my GoPro Hero 1 And finally, the video: Thanks for reading and please leave any feedback in the comments below, Jim. -
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.

Hi there guys! It's been a while since i built something, mainly due to grand theft auto V ahah... Anyway, i got sponsored by an italian lego shop called Mangiobricks so i decided to build something with their logo like it was a racing team :D I got inspired by Egor and his sunset truck so i decided to build my own version of a trophy truck! It has 95% tubolar chassis to keep it light and simple and the body can be dismounted completely, without compromising the rigidity of the chassis itself. Suspensions are really soft to absorb every bump and avoid rolls what else...the RC motor does its job, the truck drifts on smooth surfaces :D Measures: 30,5cm x 14,5cm x 13,8cm Weight: 550g Features: - Front independent suspensions - Differential - Tubolar chassis video:

[WIP] Another High Speed Chassis (V7)
z3_2drive posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello, after a long pause I decided to begin a new project, another high speed chassis, but this time I wanted to build a chassis with proper driven independent suspension and lighter than my previous build. After many attempts in the past, I concluded that this wouldn't be possible without printed pieces, as lego u-joints just can't survive the shock load of 4 buggy motors. My previous MOCs either had solid driven axles or suspension using only one u-joint, which didn't have ideal handling. Now, after testing efferman's 3D printed CV joints (coupled with Lego spherical gears, similar to 8880) on a small MOC, I used them on this large scale project. Results - it works! They easily handle the power and CV joints are more smooth in general. There is still room for changes and even after these pictures were taken I reinforced the rear suspension. Features/details: RWD - 4 Buggy motors, with 2 powering each wheel, they aren't coupled through the center. Independent suspension on all wheels, front uses efferman's printed wishbones. Servo steering Anti-roll bars 3rd party electronics and custom battery pack link for the curious Total non-Lego/modified parts: Wheel hubs made by nicjasno link Modified 9L links Printed wishbone pieces link Printed lower suspension arm pieces link Printed spherical gear holder (CV joint) link Modified pneumatic cylinders Photos: ^Pneumatic tubes work well to tie down the battery. Excuse the sand, took it offroad for a bit Oh man, I should never sell my parts after using them like this Enjoy! -
[WIP] 1/10th Scale Dune Buggy And Stadium Truck
unimog123 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey everyone! After thinking about this idea for about a week, I have decided to do something no one as ever done before, as far as I know. That is to make a 2 L motor, 1 Servo motor, V2 Receiver, 1 Rechargeable Battery Box, Full Independent Suspension, interchangeable chassis. The idea is to use this chassis as a base for both a Dune Buggy and Stadium Truck, all you have to do is swap different tires and rims and bodywork. Now I figured since many people like instructions I might as well make them for this project. What I will do is make an LDD file for the chassis and then another LDD file for the bodywork. Also the chassis instructions will cost about $5. That way you can buy the chassis instructions and get the bodywork instructions for free. To switch the bodywork you will most likely have to take off a few pins and swap the tires and rims according to the bodywork that you have. I'm thinking of basing them on 1/10 scale RC vehicles, so in truth I guess they could be 1/1 scale if the proportions are correct. Here's what I would like to model or something close to it: These are the kinds of body styles I want on the vehicle. The Stadium Truck will have the 42000 tires while the Dune Buggy will either have tires from 9398 or 8110. Also I will not be able to start the actual building of these vehicles until I finish making videos for my Trophy Truck, Tracked Arctic Explorer, and Kamaz 4326 4x4. Stay tuned for the beginning of this project! -
Hello: This is my new MOC baja. It uses 2 L-motors for drive (not coupled) and a Servo motor for steering. It has full suspension with live axle rear (Like it should) and front positive caster independent suspension and working front lights. The batteries used are 9v made to work with custom adapers similer to 1nxtmonster 's called the MiniZip, but mine has 2 plugs instead of 1. (purists dont kill me) The front suspension is stablized by the 6L links elimiting almost all front-back free play in the suspension. Also the front suspension has no upper wishbon but it has a verticle axle holding it togeathe much like a MacPherson strut suspenion does, but the spring is not mounted to the hub. (see Image) It works quite well but does break if you drop it from over 3-4 feet or ~1.5 meters but it does the job for being as small as it is. Hope you like it All pictures HERE Bye

1:8 Knight rider FLAG semi
tibivi posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey guys I present you my FLAG semi: This is a 1:8 scale replica of the FLAG semi from the Knight Rider series. The tractor uses two motor units, two battery packs and one steering unit from the set 8675, and these are put into a technic chassis. Without the trailer it can go 25 km/h, with the trailer and the mustang (modded sheep one) in it, it’ll do around 20 km/h. With all that power the tractor alone is very fun to drive, and with the throttle control and gearbox of the RC system you actually can drift it in control. the trailer’s chassis is built with frames and lots of beams, the outer shell is just made from panels. On the inside it is heavily braced to withstand the force of all the weight at the speed. And for weight saving the trailer floor is made from beams and baseplates. It also has folding handles for easy transportation. It connects to the tractor with a manual locked fifth wheel coupling and it has an PF opening tailgate. NOTE: it is still a WIP as you will notice, but it’s for 85% done. I still need to detail the tractor (gas tanks, exhaust and lights) and take another good look at the opening mechanism of the tailgate and i still need stickers for the logos. The pictures: http://www.flickr.co...157660444542805 Hope you all like it because i already had a lot of fun driving it :p cheers -

Hello fellow builders :) In the meanwhile im working to get some money to get the nissan pickup finished, i needed something funny to play with in the spare time when the PC is rendering :P so I decided to build a quad with tubolar frame that i could make drift around my apartment it turned out to be pretty fast and with enough torque to face some dirt too! i still need to decide about how to make the body but id like to build something like this I hope you'll like it :)

I think this is the right forum to post it at.. I have build a 6 wheel sport/race car. 6 wide, front spoiler 8 wide. Description : this V8 voice command driven car is all you need for fun on the track! The 4 front wheels give you a great amount of downforce and amazing steering abilities! It has space for to minifigures who would love to race! For pictures this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/132315528@N04/sets/72157654451150402 Note: i DONT use bb codes just because they freakin don't work when copied on my ipad and the slow connection makes it even impossible to get to flickr on the computer. Is there a way to fix this on the ipad? I'm getting annoyed.

WIP AMG G500 4x4²
Zerobricks posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I started working on this beast: Front axle so far: Its a portal axle with extremely close steering point of the wheels, which lies on the inner edge. This means axle can be steered with RC unit's mechanical ouput. -
[MOC] TIRERIPPER
HorcikDesigns posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, VIDEO of this beast on YouTube: All Photos: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk8oBTBZ Driven by one, directly mounted buggy motor (5292), powered by Li-Po BB, weight under 700g. Very fast thing, is nearly able to drift on (slightly wet) rough asphalt. Two days later after the first photo-action, I returned to this project, improved the rear spoiler mounting, added the front part, and (for me) unfortunatelly also changed the rims. Hope you like both versions, and if you like it, check the Brickshelf folder with LDD instructions to build this fast thing. ;) http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=552935 -

[WIP] Lego RC Racing Car
jg711 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all, This is my first post of a MOC on Eurobricks. Now, it all started when i was searching on the internet, and i spotted a very nice car: (here is the URL) https://encrypted-tb...VhMuEUleUXyVfTQ But, this car wasnt very sophisticated, so i want to rebuild the car, but with some technology of a racing car. I saw piterx's Lancia Stratos, and i tought it would be a nice competitor for it. I am going to use the gear ratio 1nxtmonster uses in the fastest lego car ever. And i am going to use only one buggy motor. As soon as i worked out how to post pictures, i will post pictures. I already have the RTC system worked out, it was de- signed by Sariel. Its very small and, very important, light. If anyone has some good idea's for building the car, please post them. KInd regards, PS: I know Bricklink, so i have the ability to order parts. -

MAN TGA Racing Truck
unimog123 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey guys, its been a few weeks since my last MOC and now I'm back with a MAN TGA racing truck. To start let me just say that this MOC is most likely replacing my idea for a large Scania flatbed truck. So the idea is to make a large racing truck and make it go as fast as possible with Lego Power Function motors, in this case 4 L motors and a Servo motor. I do want to give this truck some advanced geometries for the best handling as well, possibly caster angle and kingpin inclination. I will also be giving it all around independent suspension. Here is what I am modeling: I am actually basing mine off of the truck in the back, the photo that I originally used was to big. Here is a summary of the intended specifications: Propulsion: Rear wheel drive 4 L motors which will also drive a piston engine (# of cylinders is undecided) Steering: 1 Servo (possibly connected to steering wheel) Suspension: Independent with caster and kingpin inclination (hopefully) Rear Spoiler: Might be operated by a small pneumatic cylinder to tilt it Power Source: 2 Rechargeable battery boxes Lights: 2 or 3 pairs of LED's Here is the rear axle so far: At the moment the hubs are not secured yet because the part of the chassis to which I will secure it has not been made yet. It also has limited suspension movement, just like in the real trucks. And in the background you can see the tires I will be using. Altogether I hope to finish this beast by the middle of March, since I will need to order some parts (particularly in blue). Edit: By accident I forgot to say this is a WORK IN PROGRESS topic, so if a moderator could change it to (WIP) MAN TGA Racing Truck that would be great, thanks. -
