[MOD] 8275B Robotic Crawler
JGW3000 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Recently I was thinking about BrickLinking all of the parts to build my own 8275 set, but instead decide to just build the B model, and also take the opportunity to change the color to all black, grey tracks, and some red bushings, which I thought would be more interesting. Also made some modifications to improve functionality and also some small additions as well. The model The biggest modification was to the supports for the tread - the original specified shorter, axle 4 supports with gears, not free to rotate, and the treads kept getting hung up on the gears. I changed this to axle 8 with two pin connectors to allow free movement of the treads over the supports. Design flaw probably due to the limited part availability on B-models. You can see the wear on the pin connector due to chain links rubbing over the parts bottom view, one roller built according to instructions, the other my mod Added some lights and glow-in-the dark tiles to enhance playability image recorded with the lights dimmed Also had to add some parts to the undercarriage to strengthen the structure - the new parts are the grey beam and the two black beam 3L, for cross bracing. Of course, not everyone was happy with the new color scheme disclosure - some images PS'd to adjust contrast and saturation, color balance, and clean-up the background BTW, this is my first posting of an actual build on EB, so any feedback / comments welcome!
