It is complicated . I am afraid I can not describe it (even in my head - and then in English :D ) I can not say, which part of it would I change, every brick you put there has in my opinion is important and has a purpose. I think that it is caused by the giant propeller in the back - I like it a lot, the fighter without it would look unifinished, and it is the thing that makes it's personality, but when I look to the rest of the build, it is something that is too big and thin . But then I look back to it, and I know that without it, or with different style of it, the ship would not be The Cyclone mk5. To sum up, I really like your MOC, (showing my MOC next to it on shelf or display would be a honor for me (pathetic, I know)), but I can't help myself, the main propeller is something I am not sure whether I like it, or not - but please, do not remove or rebuild that.

Awesome MOC (although I am not totally sold on the shape). However I really like all details you managed to assemble there.

Thanks :) I do not know personal preferences of the pilot, but I pressume, that the tang-jar would not fit into the cockpit. However, maybe he found another way to store it. :D

I think that that mysterious thing is brick-build, or has something to do with We-Do. (http://www.robot-advance.com/FR/ori-lego-education-wedo-2-0-core-set-1595_1921.jpg , that BB) (very original speculation, huh? )

Oh, thank you very much! I am glad you like it.

Thank you! @Junior Shark - Yes, mixing two shades od dark gray (no, no, no - no pun here) makes the surface less unified and does not look like brand new.

Thank you all very much!

Admins or Moderators, please change the name of this topic to "O-Rangers" (and then delete this line) Version 2.0 is in post #16. -------------follows original post------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, this is my new space MOC! Hope you like it. O-ranger by Horcik Designs, on Flickr

Well, right after disassembling my Trophy truck's chassis ( http://www.eurobrick...opic=117089&hl= ) I still played with the body. After fealizing that I can't bild a plane or boat with that cabin, I decieded to build simple car chassis with two L motors (geared up) (placed in surprisingly small space), servo for steering and slightly "advanced" (that means only negative caster angle) steering geometry, and put modified body on it. The whole build is not perfect, but I like the chassis - that's the reason for posting it here. Video does not exist. test CAR by Horcik Designs, on Flickr

The only thing I don not like on this project, although I know that making it different would not be probably possible it it's cabin size to lenght of the chassis ratio. Everythig else is awesome! :D I especially like the method you used to make the body.

I am somehow fascinated by theese machines... :D Would it be possible to show us the internals of the garbox?

This one is (in my opinion) the best T813 I have seen so far. Not from the point of view of maximized-performance addicted truck trial driver, but seeing it with eye of model builder, it is very good job. Madoca's 813 is maybe a bit better in terrain, and there are nearly no unnecessary friction loss of power in the drivetrain, but on the oter hand, the proportions of cab compared to the chassis are slightly unreal.

Thank you. @GoldVillage: they hold up very well - the output to big tires is geared down, so there weren't any critical moments, due to the material strenght. However, the testing-terrain was quite flat, so I have not the chance to take it to it's limit :D

Thank you very much! I know, the IR reciever is not in it's best position, but here it has much better recieving capability :D I have been theoretically playing with the idea of pull-back boost idea, but still haven't built anything. :)

Hi, I have decieded to join the Lego Technic trophy truck madness with my own design (well, the front fenders are inspired by RM8's TT, to be honest ) But the rest is mine. Powered by one Li-Po BB, driven by one 5292 mounted on the rear axle, and servo for steering, this beast is not very strong. However, it can run satisfyingly fast - as you can see in the vid. I woul like to highlight the hood with pins that act like locks. (I do not know the right name for that securing device) (third picture) BAJA Truck by Horcik Designs, on Flickr

I know, that your observation (and I would like to say great Thank you for it - it opened my eyes a little bit more), can apply for many (not only builders). :) Thank you. I'll try to keep it up. :) One more notice - The photo of MOC makes really lot. Bad photo makes great creations look awful, good photo, or photo focused on the good parts, can cause imperfections to be hidden :D (e.g. - can you (all) see the middle section of the truck with all the gears, hoose-mess, not-used pin-ends, etc.? :D And did somebody noticed that the front axle of the tractor pivots around parallel (three pinholes are between them) steering axles? - that's the reason why I call them not worth to be in separate topic. )

Thank you all. @Nerdsforprez: i know, that I am not so active commenter here, and I usually only wait for other's people comments in my MOC topics. That's not good and friendly, I know. I also know very well, that the hunt for more reactions, so usual in today's internet pseudosociety (with twisted priorities, where anyone can feel like top-star with five "likes" - ugh, I really do not like this combination of letters - on their "profile photo"... with hysteric need for hearthbreaking stories...etc, that's OT.), can cause loss of some joys of building - and so I am not building only for anyone's reaction nor recognition. I am building for fun, in order to learn somethig new, and so I do not want to get stuck in one state of skills-progress. That's the reason why I joined this forum - to try to discuss (it is hard with my slightly egoistic activity, but I do not complain. That's my fault, and I would do the same.) my building experience with people with the same interest all around the world. Getting positive feedback make me feel a bit more confident, getting negative fb. makes me to improve something, none feedback - then I realize that "the object" (out of synomymes for MOC :D ) was not worth any attention, or I previously said something wrong. And the reason for starting this topic? I have many (much more that really finished) MOC-WIPs that are interesting only in some specific way (cab of the truck, the first-sight look of the tractor), but they're technically not good, or I know that they could have been done much, much better. Nonetheless, I would like to show it, because some part of it is important for me. And, good luck with your tree house! :)

Thank you very much. I konw, that these MOCs are not bad or really ugly, but I know that they could have been done much better. I am glad you like them, anyway.

Thank you! I am glad you like them. I like the truck cabin too, to be honest :D (especially the headlights, I'm planning to re-use them on another truck :D) - but I know, the the rest of the truck (chassis under the arm, and the central part) could have been packed with more functions, and could have been done more cleaner. And the main reason for posting the truck in this topic is that it is not finished - the sketchy arm is just horrible :D And the tractor - Originally I wanted to build some Buggy-ish vehicle :D (the front axle). And the problem with function is here again - not enough. I know that it could have been done much, much better, when I gave it more time. :) Thank you again. :)

Another MOC that is not worth separate topic is my Second Tractor (the first one: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk7oikno the zero-th: (just a joke)). More photos: https://flic.kr/s/aHskmnQKBS Simple Tractor by Horcik Designs, on Flickr Simple Tractor by Horcik Designs, on Flickr Simple Tractor by Horcik Designs, on Flickr Simple Tractor by Horcik Designs, on Flickr I know it could have beed done better, but it was not my target - I just wanted to test some ideas.

Hi all. I am starting this thread in order to have all never finished MOCs, or of lower quality creations that are not that what they were planned to be, cars without bodies, trucks without arms, weird things without more weird things, etc., and my other Technic-themed activity in one topic. In the initial post I'll add a link to my Flickr Photostream - there are all my creations and Lego themed photos - finished or unfinished MOCs, technic, space, and some drawings of non-lego cars (for more drawings from me plase visit this link (dA)) _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________. The first image section is my second attempt (my firs one: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk5RN6rp) in creating 3axle truck with red panels. Direct inspiration to build this one is the 42043 MB Arocs. This truck is the similar scale as the TLG's attempt, it uses nearly the same rear axle, very similar steering rod, and the same cabin-tilting geometry. What's more, it's engine is also I6. On the other hand, my 3RedAxles 2 is 6×6 (unfortunatelly, not enough reliable), and all functions are controlled manualy from separate knobwheels - wait, this is more con than pro... Next that could have been better is the crane arm - it is horrible here, but it works - and I wanted just to try to build something that could be folded like the real thing - to test the geometry. Well, the only thing I am satisfied with, are the headlights, and look of the cabin (that is very inspired by 8258 Cranetruck. More photos: https://flic.kr/s/aHskmtVNb2 Hope you like it ;)

I know. That's probably the simpliest way here. :) However, then the wheels would not be aligned in theoretically (while not calculating with loose parts) perfect parallel position. (I do not say, that my Tatras had them aligned :D )

Thank you for sharing theese great axles! However, I do not see the possibility of different steering angles in 8x8 setup.

I like this MOC more and more... However, would it be possible to show us the steering mechanism, please? ;)

Tahnk you for the photos of it's belly. Does not the connectors (2 pinholes, with perpendicular axlehole) crack under load? in my trial Tatra they used to, when I used this setup.
