Maybe if you removed one seat from the cabin.

Thanks, but that's my only one. I'll leave 42029 to folks with more time on their hands :)

With valuable help from Zblj. The goal was to get a decent performance while changing as little as possible. No doubt can be done better by changing more.

Is seems tough to fill.

And finally the dessert: B-model of the 42030:

36t gear won't fit in there.

http://www.crowkille...odel=murcielago Click the "building" tab. Finding this required typing "crowkillers murcielago" in Google - about 5 seconds of work.

So, I put two PF L motors in it, a single Servo, a proper V8 and swapped wheels for larger ones. It works fine, but it seriously lacks the torque. And because of how the drivetrain is made, I'm having a hard time finding space to increase gear reduction without a major redesign.

I hope to finish it over this weekend. The 42029 is absorbing though, once you start modding it.

I just motorized my 42029 with 2 PF L motors, a Servo and a proper V8 engine. The problem is, the L motors are working really hard to move it, even with RWD and the default small wheels. Recharging the batteries now, I wonder if it will help. I'd rather not start modding the whole drivetrain.

Um, don't you think that live axle in the rear would be difficult to fit under the cargo bed?

I surely will. I'm working on 42030 B-model review now, so no rest for the wicked, erm, furry ones ;)

This video is 13 minutes long, at least in my timezone :P And their agent was furry, for sure.

I prefer this set because it has enormous potential for modding.

50 cm.

I beg to differ, there are three cameos altogether, including a hamster in a hat :P One in the rear axle, yes.

I guess he means the 8297 Offroader wheels, same as Crawler's. My video doesn't show these on this truck.

I'm quite happy with WD MyBook external HDD and the backup software that comes with it. Comfy and reliable.

Well, I'm trying to cut down on the runtime while editing, but as a rule of the thumb I think a review should be thorough above all else :)

They say there are two kinds of people: those who make backups, and those who will make backups.

Yes, it's the regular 2L worm gear.

Personally, I place 42029 among the best sets of the last few years.

Finally, the 42029. Long story short, I love this set! I think it's among the best of the last few years - not overdone with fancy stuff, just really, really good with what it does.

Would this help? http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=61905

Mahj made a tank with Friends parts, beat that :P
