Thanks for your comments, I am glad that you like it. Thanks for your nice tip, worth trying when I get some softer springs. Thanks for your comments! Actually, most 6x6 trucks have the drive shaft in this way, and the driving power of the 3rd axle isn"t from the 2nd axle. Thanks for your kind comments!

Hello everyone, After a long silent time I would like to present my latest MOC: a 6X6 soviet union millitary truck KrAZ-255. As the 6x6 truck is already a pretty old topic, I am trying to add some innovations in this MOC: Asymmetric axle layout like the real thing, Linear actuator driven steering, Steering link parts are used to implement drive shaft. The linear actuator driven steering is quite successful and it proves to be more reliable than gear rack driven steering. The other conventional features include: Two-speed manual gear box, Pendular suspension for each axle, V4 fake engine, Functioning steering wheel, LED head and tail lights, Hood, doors can be opened. The driving power is provided by two XL motor and steering power is provided by one M motor, one IR receiver is applied. Size of the MOC is 52(L) X 24(W) X 26(H) and weight is around 2200g. In low gear ratio mode it can climb up the slope of around 20 degree, which you will see in the video. Layout of real KrAZ-255 drive shaft: Here come the photos of the MOC itself: Video link: Lego cuusoo link

As a chinese lego technic fan, it is never too late to see this post.

Thanks for all your comments! And I also hope that I had some wheels of smaller size.

Here is the second transforming bionicle figure and it is not inspired by existing transformer. Like the previous MOC, the mecha is made of bionicle parts as well as technic parts. And the transformation between quadbike and robot requires neither removal nor addition of part.

So many thanks for all your comments! Though I found it's an interesting way to combine bionicle parts and technic parts for 'Robot in Disguise', my very limited bionicle resource doesn't allow me to freely choose colors and make more complicated MOCs. But I will still try small-scaled 'Robot in Disguise' when I have some ideas.

This MOC is mostly inspired by transformer scrapper: The mecha is made of bionicle parts as well as technic parts. And the transformation between front loader and mecha requires neither removal nor addition of part. BTW, all wheels can rotate and rear wheels have also steering function. This MOC is submitted on Lego Cuusoo, please just free to vote for it.

Very nice and innovative MOC, the steering mechanism looks special. BTW, the video is a master piece.

A very green MOC, nice concept

An excellent MOC with splendid maneuverablity, appearance and independant suspension.

Nice to meet you here and thanks for the comment! As you might have noticed, the MOC doesn't fully resemble Jeep Hurricane (pendular instead of independent suspension and no second V8 fake engine in rear part). So I'd rather call it Jeep Hurricane Compact. BTW, there is another nice MOC which bears high resemblance to Jeep Hurricane. Thanks for your comments and nice to meet you here! I'm glad you like it. Another old friend here Hello GuiliuG: I like independant suspension and appearance of your MOC a lot! It seems that we start with very similar concept (PF + Pneumatics) and end with very different implementation. Thanks for your comment!

A nice MOC of sound functionality and professional photography. Here is the Video Link: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDc3OTAwMjY0.html

I knew Robin since 2009 and we have always been keeping in touch with each other on chinese lego forums and his blogs. I suggust that you further comment on the post, asking for details or his Email for private communication. He didn't reply this post himself because he was afraid that his English expression might be problem. What I can 100% assure you is that Robin will never make instruction of your MOC for money, and if he wants to help, he means it.

If you need help in making PDF file, Robin is very willing to give you a hand. BTW,he has almost finished the PDF building instruction of your Bugatti Veyron.

Nice to have your comment! This project took me around two-week spare time and it went through four major changes. I think module design (front/rear axle, propulsion, transmission) is a good idea since you can focus on specific problem and in case of modification you don't need to take everything apart. Currently I have no plan making LDD file.

Thanks and fancy meeting you here!

Very cute MOC from ISOGAWAYoshihito, like always.

Many thanks for your comment! Actually I didn't realize the advantage of pneumatics (compared with LA) until I started this project.

Do you have any plan when and how the instruction of Land-Rover will be publicated?

I am very glad you like it! This MOC will remain intact until I have some new ideas and need parts from it.

This is really a very nice handbook for every technic builder, and it is more than what I have expected.

Thanks for your comment! As I can remember, the cylinder brackets appear in 8421 and 8275. If Lego would again release some big pneumatic mobile crane, the reintroduction of this component is very possible. By the way, the cylinder brackets prove to be very useful in this MOC.

Hello David: Thanks a lot for your comment! I have also submitted this MOC on Lego Cuusoo and it shall be surely kept for a while.

The MOC has realized all steer modes of Jeep Hurricane: conventional AWS steer, crab steer and skid steer. Front and rear axle steer are independent and powered by two M motors. Differential is applied to balance left/right wheels rotation in case of conventional steer. Switch to skid steer mode is done by pneumatics mechanism, which is also powered by one M motor. Chassis with pendular suspension and two XL motors for propulsion. LED head and tail lights which are connected to propulsion system and pneumatics respectively. Two RC receivers and two LED sets are used. Video is available on Youtube via the link: Skid Steer Mode. Conventional AWS Mode. Pendular Suspension. Top View. Chassis Layout. Core of Powertrain. Steer Mechanism. PS: I notice some comments on Youtube and want to give a short reply. Please note that the layout of chassis includes powertrain and steer mechanism are ALL Original and NOT ANY kind of Simplified version of other MOCs. Please feel free to support this MOC on Lego Cuusoo: LINK

At first sight of the title, I thought you built something like this... I like your practical and robust design very much, it seems that nothing could stop this little guy.
