piterx Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Hi there guys! Some days ago i had the idea of building a 4x4 vehicle...but i wanted something in-between a crawler and a more common 4x4 with double wishbone... so i found a nice UTV made by polaris and tried to replicate it.... then i realized that i liked the body of it but the chassis wasn't that interesting, so i mixed it up with the updated model 900, mainly for its 3 link rear suspension this is what i came up with, i hope you'll like it features: - 4x4 - front independent suspensions - rear 3 link independent suspensions - power functions - custom stickers weight 931g measures: 32.5cm x 20cm x 19cm i'm gonna shoot the video in an hour or so... maybe you guys could suggest me wich version you'd like to see...if you prefer the woods camo or arctic camo once i'll shoot the video and publish everything, on my blog, you'll find the stickers sheet ready for download as i did for the fiesta the polaris is driven by 2 L motors with a 1:3 ratio this is the most interesting part in my opinion...and works really nice too Edited July 23, 2013 by piterx Quote
Doc_Brown Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Sweet, amazing job man! I really like that rear suspension, and the stickers, you are the master. :D I like how the back stickers make the 2 lift-arms look completely flat and more realistic. waiting for the video! :P I prefer the woods. :D Edited July 22, 2013 by Doc_Brown Quote
rm8 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Amazing ! Super! Show us this MOC in action! Some weeks ago I planned to buy similar Vehicle for my boy but bought Another one Edited July 22, 2013 by rm8 Quote
Tubby Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 That looks excellent. I love the suspension, driveshafts and cv joints, very clever stuff. Quote
The Ghost Racer Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Wow, cool moc. I really like the stickers and the front bumper. Quote
skppo Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Nice! Looks bloody amazing for a medium scale fully studless model. Usually I don't like stickers you have made them look so good and natural that I can't be nothing but impressed. The placement of the electronics is pleasing, nothing looks out of place. 4wd and full suspension is great as well, liking that rear axle :) Quote
piterx Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 hey guys thank you very much :) im happy you like it! i've started shooting but then i realized that: - i turned a panel by accident -.- - it has nice offroad capabilities so it deserves a better video than just a testdrive in the backyard ^^ so tomorrow i'll shoot everything better to make a nice video :) Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Really cool looking vehicle! Can't wait for the video!!! :D Quote
legomuppet9 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Awesome work once again Piterx, looks like it'll perform really well and the stickers really enhance the looks of this model, good work on them too I also like the suspension setup you've used Edited July 22, 2013 by legomuppet9 Quote
GDomino Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Wow! I'm impressed! That looks great and I can't wait to see it perform! Will you be putting out instructions? Quote
piterx Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 thanks guys....i don't know about instructions it's very boring! but i could take detailed pictures when i dismount it so you can reverse engineer it :) Quote
Zerobricks Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Good work, but what really make it stand out are the stickers! Quote
timslegos Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I love the way the proportions look! Excellent job with the stickers as well. tim Quote
BondemandClausen Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I really like the way you try out new tecniques, like the rear suspensions. Stickers are great :-) keep it up. Quote
Jeka Jackson Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Beautiful model!!! Looks great! It's interesting to see it in motion) Quote
piterx Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) hey guys thanks for all your nice comments :) after some hours (too many -.-) i've finally uploaded the video that i shot today :) as i really enjoyed its performances, i've decided to make a series of videos dedicated to this vehicle to test it in different situations ! while it was uploading i went shoting some trial stuff....nothing extreme but really satisfying ^^ tomorrow i'll test it on the sand at the seaside Edited July 23, 2013 by piterx Quote
Jeka Jackson Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Nice video) But where's extreme?) it's a quad-bike!!! (I have the real one 250 cc at my country house, & believe me - it has great abilities)))) I remember that it is Lego, but the model is so similar to its original & I'm sure - it can show you & all of us much more))) Quote
piterx Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) eheh yeah man im working on it! even if it has differentials it has nice crawling potential :) i've shot some videos this evening now it's time to edit them eheh anyway, for those who may be interested, at this link you can find the stickers i've done (that you can see in low res in the pictures below) http://p-lego.blogsp...<!--NoParse1--> Edited July 23, 2013 by piterx Quote
Splat Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Great work piterx The Polaris looks great at this scale. I like the rear suspension, and all the angles that you have incorporated into the body work. I also like that you played with different colour schemes. Quote
MrNumbskull13 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Great video and model! Looking forward to the next one! :D Quote
Saberwing40k Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Them stickers are really good, they really add a lot to the model. I also really like that rear suspension. I'm going to have to get my hands on some of those hubs... Quote
