[TC12] Arachne
HorcikDesigns replied to Erik Leppen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The steering is amazing (and also inspiring). Really good work. When I saw the movement of it, while the central frame stays in initial position without any deflections, compass came to my mind... however, I really like the name Arachne, because it really looks like spider. PS: The colour scheme reminds me the Competition Technic line; there were similar structures to your entry. And that is good, IMO. -
Oh, that seems so maneuverable... :D It would take hours to overtake another racer. :D (but I really like this idea! ) Would it be possible to show, how you got this result? I think, but I am not sure, that the power of multiple engines and acceleration are not related this way. This amount of power would a least result in extremely heavy-duty drivetrain (not thinking about rotation limits e.g., in bearings), that would be too heavy. Even in Wacky universe.

They come from Bionicle or other buildable figures/creatures series.
-
Do the springs compress due to centrifugal force when your turret rotates? I like this detail :) (the rest of the vehicle is great too, off course)
-
Interesting tactics. Kids are very inventive and unpredictible. :D I really like how many functions (and also new, fresh, uncommon) have you packed inside. Good work!

8. Avalunch 2002 (also known as Speedysnow, Avalaunch, and Missing-ski) AVALUNCH AVALUNCH 2002 Functions: Casual: -steering -fake V8 engine -easily accesible snack box Wacky: -"Avalanche" ... dropping snow behind to make road slippery (in best conditions also making snowdrifts -"Snowcannon" throwing snowballs to opponents - it's effectiveness is not very high, but they're annoying and causes concentration loss when they're, for example, under your racing suit. Simple functions for easier operation (by our dumb driver) and less technical issues during the race. Legends say, that this vehicle use liquid nitrogen as fuel. They're false, unleaded Octan(TM) petrol is used. (in case of any doubts, please ask our team's Mechanic)

[TC12] Arachne

Do you plan to show the power of the catapult in short video? (please) :D It looks great! -
Thanks :) I wanted to make slightly updated design of the missile. VIDEO is online.

I would like to introduce you the crew standing behind this ludicrously underengineered bunch of liftarms. (the simple and totally made up background story of this MOC) Driver - Always hungry Yeti, the one who added the snowball cannon to the front of his racing machine. And also removed the passenger seat and replaced it with giant lunchbox with integrated refrigerator to keep his snack cool. Mechanic - She secured with pins and bushes everything other. The missile - nobody knows where did it come from, or what it does, but nobody dare to throw it away. CREW by Horcik Designs, on Flickr AVALUNCH by Horcik Designs, on Flickr

I like the UTs (unimog tires) too, but I have none. And I really want to build something with RC offroad tires. :D
-
The level of wackiness of this vehicle is really, really HIGH. :D Can't wait to see the video. How does the steering work? like tank (or any tracked vehicle, or like conventional car?)
-
Sorry for bumping old topic, but I had mad idea for further evolution of this project... (with 3rd party tires, off course) What do you think? Is it good idea, or would it ruin the whole thing? Should I do it? by Horcik Designs, on Flickr direct inspiration:
-
Yes, might be right, but when compared with functions of other member's vehicles, it is slightly primitive. on the other hand, backstory of my driver does not contain inventive and creative mind... Well, I've also been thinking about 20pcs as ideal number for the effect... :D Some things seems to be the same all around the world
-
Nothing to be forgiven, it is just question about the rules. I am not very proud of it, but it is the best replication of functions used in original series - it drops snow (white bricks) behind it (they're stored in the LBG container in the back - I'll add detailed photos to the final presentation). I also planned to use bananas instead of snow, as the more classical surface lubricant, but I do not know what to do with them when the contest is over. :| There is also "snowball-5Lliftarm cannon in the front, but I do not count this as wacky. Thanks :)
-
Thank you! I think that the headlights would fit it perfectly, maybe with more parabolic body (). Thanks for suggestion. :)
-
I'm here with next progress. Next week I'll make final photos and maybe also little video. What do you think about it's "headlights"? Should they stay there? I'm not sure. :\ TC12 - Avalunch by Horcik Designs, on Flickr TC12 - Avalunch by Horcik Designs, on Flickr

I can not deny that 42069 is my favourite set from 2017 line. :D (I hope to buy one soon) Here is another WIP of this project - finished roof and windscreen frame. I plan to make more details in the interior too, but later. TC12WIP roof finished by Horcik Designs, on Flickr

Today, I have tried to build more from the body of this little beast. I try to get the look of hot-rod at the cabin, the front will miss classic grille. TC12 WIP2

[TC12] The Toaster
HorcikDesigns replied to Thirdwigg's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Attacking side skirt? Can't wait to see it! :D -
More teeth, more respect. :D I really look forward to see it finished, the wheelbase looks great!
-
@Thirdwigg Hmmm... I can not confirm that yet. @Seasider The name is not final, but this one sounds wacky enough, in my opinion. :D @Leonardo da Bricki Front suspension is individual, behind the seats is one live axle. Originally the tracks were able to rotate freely in very huge angle, but because of their asymmetry it was annoying, so they were limited for approx. 10 deg of movement around sprocket wheel axis. Rear tracks with help of soft spring, in front with simple pegs. Eating / hiding other vehicles inside sounds really wacky, but slightly unfair, and with current setup of the vehicle, unachievable. My wacky function tries to mimic original "weapons and advantages" from the game.
-
I'll at least try to build one :D Thank you.

Hi, here is my TC12 topic. Origin, plans, backstory, whatever. When I've seen this contest announcement, I was not really excited, mostly because the original game and TV show missed me. But I liked the idea, and the fact it is a contest ( :D ) , so I decieded to give it a try. Later, I was browsing my old drawings, and stumbled upon really old "monsters in hot-rods" (https://horcikdesigns.deviantart.com/gallery/40040640/Monsters-in-HotRods) series, and recognised, that they're wacky enough (especially the Yeti) to be inspiration for this contest. So, the base stone (or snowball) was laid. The build went really fast from that moment. I plan to make simple 2 axle "wackhicle" capable of travelling through every terrain (mainly snow, of course), something like snow-hot-rod. Steered will be only front axle, and the wacky function will unfortunatelly be very simple, but the name of this hungry Yeti's cart is derived from this. It will also be equipped with front snowball cannon to freeze opponents. Right now I have nearly finished the chassis. I will not show you the colour-scheme, but be sure it has something to do with another LEGO line. TC12 - Avalunch TC12 - Avalunch TC12 - Avalunch Stay tuned for more Snow'n'roll.

@Aleh & @I_Igor Thank you very much, I am glad that you like it :)
