    Better late than never, so I just finished my 41999 mod First goal was to add wheels with planetary gears and use buggy motors instead of common L motors. Result was not so impressive as I imagine. High speed, but poor climbing abilities (especially due to buggy motor placement). Driving on snow was terrible experience for me So I decided to make a version with tracks. Buggy motors was replaced by 4x L motors, so this time there was enough torque . Practical tests have shown that such chassis has the right to life, although it needs some improvements. Hope you like it!

    I just turn video by 180 degrees and freeze frame in some moments. Instruction booklet is clearly visible in 1080p quality. Rubber pads slightly improve traction on soft surfaces - but I want to motorize this set with buggy motors and test it on the snow. The only thing that is already December and still no snow

    Great work, Sariel! Your reviews are very informative and detailed. Special thanks for "speed build" part

    Another update, now with almost original brother of my pickup modification. Also I just made a little video. In this video I compared the speeds of 2 models. Hope you like it! P.S. Sorry for dark video =(

    Little update with some minor exterior changes and video. Enjoy! More photos

    I used no-name 1.9 RC tires. They are pretty soft and have good grip on any surfaces, even on glass or polished stone. There are plenty lots on Ebay, and here one of them http://m.ebay.com/itm/360548940987 All I can do for you right now - to do a few close-up photo of chassis internals and rear axle. Maybe later, when I will disassemble the model, I will make detailed photos of all modifications. They are not so global, so you can easily add a few parts to original build while following Madoca's instructions. I spent about 3 hours to modify chassis because I had to disassemble already finished model. It will be much easier to assemble the modified chassis from the very beginning

    Madoca, your 4x4 pickup is really amazing! Thank you for sharing instructions with us! Looking at this SUV, I realized that I wanted to add some more crawling abilities to it. The one thing that can prevent serious off-road riding - differentials. So I decide to add "limited slip" feature to rear and center differentials. There were no troubles with rear axle - a lot of free space and simple mechanics. But the center differential - it's hell. Different angular velocities of the two semiaxes (rear 1:3 and front 1:1) require a complex system of gears. But the result worth it! Now, this pretty pickup can overcome quite serious off-road. Soon I'll make a video. Now I have only one scheme and some photos. Some more photos here As you can see, I added a reinforced front and rear bumpers, ropes on the hood (I don't know how are they called. They can protect windshield tree's branches), replaced the suspension arms for longer ones (6.5 studs against 6), slightly lifted rear suspension, replaced XL motors on buggy motors. The rest I kept the original design, except the seats. I had to sacrifice them for the sake of storage space for li-po battery boxes. Hope you like this modifications!

    Madoca, thank you so much for sharing instuctions! Your Tatra is one of the best TT I ever seen. Complex and rigid chassis combined with nice exterior - and alltogether it looks excellent. First I build this model "as is" and have much driving fun =) Then I decided to replace all the PF electrics by Mindstorms. So here it is: Model is controlled by smartphone app via bluetooth. Here is app - EV3 NumericPad Propulsion and steering control are proportional, and stering has "return-to-center" feature. There is two large EV3 motors on drive and two medium EV3 motors on steering. Phone app has window with two axis: X is steering and Y is propulsion. So you can drive car with only one finger. Gearbox are not motorised yet, I have some problem with HiTechnic IRLink sensor. Hope this problem can be solved =) Video shows how does EV3 Tatra performs (high gear is on) and how app control looks like.

    Wow! 95% accuracy - I did not expect such a high result. Great to hear that you enjoy it =) Little update - a just made small outdoor video (if were no dogs in my park - video would be much longer >_< ) P.S. Can't wait for my SBrick, IR has too short control range =( When car just begin to accelerate - it loses control =)

    Hello, Piterx! Your Lancia are totally awesome! Yesterday I tried to build it, and I found that this car is a real beast! Two buggy motors makes it OP, driving this Lancia is very fun =) Thank you so much for great build! And here is short video (I tried to show how nimble it is) Sorry for bad quality and vertical video =( Tomorrow I will try to make an outdoor video.

    Thank you, hospitable people =) About concept car - the more I working on the chassis, the more I understand that bodywork will be the most hard thing to do. This car has so many curves =/

    About colors - Rebrickable shows that I had only 65% parts needed to build it with similar colors and 82% if we ignore color matching. So I used to replace some parts that I don't have and use some different solutions. Most difficult to replace was 15100 , 10197 and 44809 connectors. Also I had a only a few thin liftarms and LBG parts at all. So that was a tricky build for me =) Now I try to make black-yellow version, hope it will be more impressive =/

    Hi, Zblj! Your models made a strong impression on me. They are like a source of inspiration for me =) Here is that concept car author's page - http://600v.deviantart.com/gallery/ He is simply genius, and his futuristic cars are awesome.

    Better late than never, yeah =) Hi everyone, my name is Alex, I'm 22 years old. Sorry for my bad English, btw. I'm a student and my specialization is car engines. So I love automobiles, construction machinery, and self-propelled machines at all. My first experience of playing with Lego was about 10 years ago, and my favorite theme was City. At the time of 2005 I had a few sets and I was completely happy with them until I saw 8436 Technic Truck. It was the love at first sight =) Discovering Technic series totally drove me crazy. So much ideas and technical features! But in 2006 my dark ages started. I went back to Lego only in the end of 2013, when my school friend called me and said that selling his collection. So I bought 42000, 42007, 42008, 42009 and 9398 sets approximately for $300. So, I had a tremendous amount of parts, and a whole bunch of ideas what to build with them. I started to search some technical tips in the MOCs of Eurobricks community, tried to change and improve some of them. My MOCs was not so complicated and great, so I build more and more to learn some principles of some MOC'ers work. Nowadays I have WIP car like this: And here is some EB member's MOCs I ever build: http://s48.photobuck...ow/Some history

    First of all, Sheo, I think that your MOC is most impressive thing that I ever seen =) It was extremely interesting and somewhat difficult to build this model, and I should mention that I have never seen such a tight assembly. Great work! Here is my version with some different colors: P.S. How do you think it will be looking with this color scheme?
  19. SilenWin
    Sounds good :) And do you make some changes in the boom or superstructure constructions? Is it necessary to rebuild it?
  20. SilenWin
    It was not so difficult to build it, but sometimes I used to disassemble some completed sub-modules and reassemble them again. It was necessary to connect several modules (eg axles). Can't wait to start building new version, I'm sure it will be a another fantastic build!

    After a week I finished building gerger's crane, and I think it's really awesome! Massive construction, fully RC, all wheels drive and independent suspension - all this is so cool! Here is other photos: http://s48.photobuck...slideshow/Crane Many thanks to the author of this brilliant MOC, as well as to all those who participated in the creation LXF model!

    I think we are talking about these rim covers

    Got it! Congratulations!

    Look, truck itself is 21 studs wide and the 5th wheel's height is 10 studs. So if the trailer dimensions is approximately the same - truck and trailer will look great together.
