Thank you! Yes, ground clearence was not satisfying to me, so the next generation does not use turntables (I have only one small, so I could not use them there), but the ball joints (used in Unimog, Crawler, etc.). But the problem with portals is not that I have used them in T148, but that they cause additional friction and makes the car slower. :D And that was not my goal. ;) But, thanks ;)

Yes, you are very close to that what really happened. :D Thanks.

I would like to had solved the back side like the rest of body, but I had not enough that LBG or LG angled pieces nor axles or connectors. So this was the only solution to fill the side ;) :D Thank you. Reading about "my studio" makes me little proud and laugh, because whole trick is that I used to use (they became filling of the ceiling in the cottage few days ago) two boards with the pattern you can see (I presume they come from trailer's floor), and put them somewhere in the garden where the sun shines (as seen in the photo below), and then let my Nokia do it's job. :P Later, right before uploading, I opened Photoshop and added that letters to the layer above the photo (with eraser and some effects). That's all, I'm glad you like it

Hi, Well, this is my first "simple crawler". The story behind this "project", if I could call it so... :D After designing many complicated and real-like axles and chassis setups, that weren't bad, but sluggish slow, I have decieded, in Sept.. no, in Shiptember to build something that is much faster, but still very strong. Having my main trial truck (Tatra 148, it is in my photostream too), I had no TLG's portal axles free, so the drivetrain had been made without them. And it turned out as very good solution, in combination with two XLs mounted directly to the axles in 1:1 (knobs were added later, after making the photos. Setup that is visible here made cracky sounds) ! The Crawler is fast, but it has not so much problems with rough terrain - However, unfortunatelly, I had no time (school study) to make the video of this blue CS-ish beauty. Video will come with it's second gen., that will come in white and with "advanced" mid-part of chassis, the axles stood the same. Features: one Servo, one Li-Po, two XLs in geared 1:1 to the wheels, "simple" chassis, blue panels, Classic space look (Unfortunatelly, I had no red dished to put them into the rims) Full album: https://www.flickr.c...57649229365692/ LDD for the chassis is availible, please send me notification, whether you want to see it (I'll send it you via e-mail).

Oh, yes, that's right. (when I think about it more than I have in the morning :D)

I think, maybe (and it is probable that) am I wrong, that these hubs do not allow ackermann geometry without modifications? Great concept (anyway), I look forward to see it grow ! And, UEV? Undefined Engineless Vehicle ? :D (But then, why is there that fake one in the back? :D )

Great machine for shows. (I have just one question, that useless, but great looking parts on the arm are some touches of desing, or technical part? :D )

You are welcome, but have you more photos (of the axles and chassis)? ;)

Mabe the best lego crawler I have ever seen. I really like the use of that "big piece" form Racers RCs as an bumper ;)

Oh, I really like the function of trigger-powered rotor

MANX! Grat MOC ;)

Wow, it looks great so far, but I see you have reached the limit of maximum of PF motor powered independent functions. So, are all motors you plan to use mounted on it, or not?

It is insane, but when I imagine the red version with black rims and decals (bumpers, side steps, grill, etc.), I think I won't sleep next night... :D

Egoisic presentation of my latest one. Tatra 148 LTTT Spec.: More images (when interesed) :

Thanl you! @Black-Build - Yes, I know, the chssis was not good choice ;)

Hi EBs, this is not my best or latest creation, but I would like to show it (special wish, do not you think? :D) More Photos: https://www.flickr.c...57648792560986/ Well, it features one XL (slightly geared down), one servo, two axles that are not slightly, but very much inspired by similar axle designs for this scale offroaders that are to be found on the net, and experimental chassis frame, based on bended liftarms - I will not do this setup again, although it seems realistic, it is bending very much when assembled with the body. So, enjoy, but just in case it is still possible. And sorry for video quality, next time I'll find another way to make vid-s (hopefully, I can not make promises now :D)

You are going behind the limits - ad that's good. I am looking forward to see this one finished ;)

Awesome moc... I just hope that you are planning to make instructions at least for the body ;D

Looking forward to see it, but I have to agree with BusterHaus .

T 815 :D

Oh, that's fast (it isn't trial-, it is racing-truck :D )... Made me think about climbing skills of this truck. Does it perform good when going over obstacles? And what abou climbing in sand? (there is speed needed)

Neraly the best performing race car in this scale I have ever seen ;)

10:10 6:6 2:4 7:3 4:2 5:1 The first two aren't joke. ;D

New photos just directly from the race! Race's album: (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=548290)

Thank you, You can be sure, it performs very well. It had passed pillows.on.couch-lil'brother's.fingerboard.ramp-armchair test (track in living room) in both directions :D.
