    I do it pretty often....usually I build a little part and then don't build something with it and then I come back to it and modify it to fit the new setup/idea.

    It is complete, I have already typed up the review of this buggy on my website if you would like to check out the end result.

    Some more progress, Here's what I've come up with the design yesterday: Suspension setup on the front axle: This is where the IR receiver is going to be placed, it might not even be connected to anything.

    Thanks, but I don't see how it could be possible. I wanted to keep the chassis as sturdy and streamlined as possible and putting a battery box doesn't exactly work. There is a positive to the battery box placement though, this thing has literally NO wheel spin. I thought that was very surprising since the L motor has fast direction changes and lots of torque, while the tires have a very small contact patch on flat surfaces.

    I don't think I would want to move the battery box up more because I also want this to look as realistic as possible, so moving the box up would make it stick out more. Plus I don't think it would have a big enough difference. I will try the softer grey shocks as soon as possible. I would like to have a tubular chassis, but I haven't had much experience with them, and what experience I have had wasn't very good. However I do hope to keep the weight below 1 and 1/2 pounds, which shouldn't be to bad.

    Hey everyone, As many of you probably already know, I made a WIP topic a while back for a similar kind of buggy, but..... I had not realized all the stuff that I had to do before beginning the buggy project, so finally the weather is getting nicer and I began the project once more. This time, since I've decided to go for a light and durable kind of buggy, I am using 1 L motor directly driving a differential and a Servo motor for steering. Along with a Rechargeable battery box and V2 receiver for the power source. It also has full independent suspension, which needs some modifications at the moment: So that's what I have so far..... The big problem I have is that the suspension is to hard for off road terrain (grass, dirt, small rocks). This needs to be fixed, especially because the chassis is pretty low. Another problem is the tendency to understeer on dirt. I hate understeer so much! Unfortunately I don't have any solution to this problem because I want to keep it as light as possible so adding some kind of weight in the front is out of the question. The only other thing in the front besides the servo, is the receiver which will actually be placed more in the middle of the chassis. ( Also the grey 15L liftarm that is placed over the front axle is just to keep the suspension from bottoming out since there are no shock absorbers at the moment for test driving)

    Well done! I always look forward to your manual Technic creations. Keep it up!
  8. unimog123
    Very well done! I hope this sets a bit of a trend for FWD vehicles, because I think that kind of setup could create many new innovations in building future MOCs. Can't wait for more innovative MOCs from you!

    What a neat little truck! Unfortunately I don't build stud-full, so I can't really help you with the trailer.
  10. unimog123
    Well done! I think someone has found an interest in small MOCs.
  11. unimog123
    Well done, I really like the low stance of the truck. I kind of stinks that the forklift is so slow.......is there anyway to make it faster, cause it doesn't seem like it would struggle lifting those cars either way. Great job!
  12. unimog123
    Wow, nice job all around! I really love trucks like these and I think it captures the look and functions with ease. Hope to see more great MOCs from you, and welcome to Eurobricks.
  13. unimog123
    That's really cool! Don't you think it could be easier to have a few pneumatic pumps hooked up to a RC buggy motor or something like that?
  14. unimog123
    Wow, only 5 days for something so small, but packed with functions!
  15. unimog123
    I hope you know that using just one Servo on 8 axles with Unimog tires is not going to work very well. There will be way too much friction, plus the weight of this giant....... Anyway aside from that this looks like a very interesting project. I hope the water pump and everything will work out well!
  16. unimog123
    Yeah, but they could make a brick built attachment like this: And it could be operated by a worm gear.
  17. unimog123
    Well, maybe a the B-model could be a manual tracked skid steer loader. They haven't done one since the 8043 B-model. I would also love a 4x4 jeep or buggy from 42029, and I want to buy it for the panels and suspension parts, but it is SO UGLY!!
  18. unimog123
    Unfortunately, not really. I will try to get a completed video of the Trophy Truck, which has the other 2 L motors, this weekend and then building can start. I have begun working on the instructions a little though. I am sorry for the little updates, but I assure you I am dying to get into this build.
  19. unimog123
    Looks good, but I think it could use one of those large orange 5x11 curved panels on either side. Will there be a video?
  20. unimog123
    That looks really nice! I'm guessing the blue parts are from the new hot rod?
  21. unimog123
    Sounds good, to me Jim!
  22. unimog123
    Are you going to make a WIP topic for said buggy?
  23. unimog123
    Yeah, nice job! And I love the roof and how it cuts off like that. Do you think you can make a topic on your MOD of 8070?
  24. unimog123
    I like all of the bikes! But what exposition are these going to be featured at? Also, you sure built most of that dirt bike fast.
  25. unimog123
    Well, for starters I always use a liftarm placed perpendicularly from the chassis and lock it in place with some pins to keep the structure from giving out on the sides. This usually prevents the gears from skipping if it is placed near a motor or lots of gears.
