    Didn't want to be to negative directly Unfortunately, it is what it is... Some of you guys have been asking me over PM for the link, but it seems the video already vaporised from FB, seems it was a non wanted leak after all. Perhaps Conchas has more info where to find it...

    A video (the official kind but muted) of top gear RC car popped out on FB... Leaning from rejection to total apathy. Edit: But my kids will love it Edit 2: Same scale as the Corvette, white small mudguard panels also used on the hood, mostly white and black livery with big red wing at the back, might be slightly similar to a Lancia Delta, but not really. Main sticker theme is STIG. Interior seems filled totaly by C+ components.

    Does ' Konobar, dajte još jedan kozarac, molim' sounds better? @Jeroen Ottens So the mechanism for the roof is actually a replica of the real thing??? Or does the real car have more motors and help of some electronics to perform the movement?

    That convertible roof is a total witchcraft! Fantastic achievement and unimaginable mechanism for me.

    I love the classic look of the body! Many clever solutions under the hood as well - especially using the differencial to run two separate functions. I am surprised that swivelling gear rack for steering works! Was it really necessary to use so many shock absorbers? I guess the body was to shaky if not... Under fine work of engineering! Congratulations. Best regards, miha

    Supported. I see great potencial with different themes, although yours looks very pleasant, maybe another version a bit more "masculine" might bring additional supporters. Good luck.

    @Thirdwigg Cool iteration concept Looks like it works really well
  8. MajklSpajkl
    Excellent little car! I never thought so many functions can be fit in such a small car. Looking forward to final report! Areyou always working on two models? I mean on two replicas of the same model...

    I love the looks and the video editing! Great work. I like the smaller turret better. The one thing I can't get my head around is why are the tracks so "jumpy"? Since they roll on round road wheels I would expect then to run smoother...

    When we decided to go with the Mack scale, we kinda decided for the same wheels as well. I admit the first one you suggest might have worked but have never actually tried it out, although I think I have enough of them. I used "normal" technic ball joint on an axle with additional bush for king pin. I believe Pipasseyoyo used this Technic Ball Joint 2 x 7 with 2 Ball Joints, if I am not mistaken. His is better, because as you can see in his video he could hang the whole truck from it. In my case the ball joint would simply slip off the axle, but then again, my truck wasn't intended for such a wild ride + i don't have this part. Hahaha, so bending chassis is a feature then . There will be a story told about the straddle carrier as well... unfortunately it doesn't have such a happy ending. I rather not promise how soon though, but hopefully - soon Maybe you could try a different approach for the same truck in the same scale, although I know it might be a bit hard now, when your mind is "polluted" with my model. Would be interesting to see your version. _______ Thanks again to all others for very nice words as well. Much appreciated! Somehow, this truck caught an eye of someone from THE LEGO CAR BLOG.

    Thank you @Attika. Yes, you are correct about the L motor. Fifth wheel lock really needs only a small force to operate, so "fuelttank look" of the L motor was it. I like your truck as well, except the tarpaulin maybe - thicker material would look less like a plastic bag ;-) There are never enough trucks, so I am looking forward to see your new one. Best regards.

    Thank you for the review @Jim. You never disappoint! I like the model much better now, than I was ranting about it in the beginning. I saw it IRL and it really does look cool. Still dwelling on it, but leaning a bit more to just buying the new rims... I have plenty of other parts and although olive green looks very nice there just isn't enough of Technic parts in that colour to justify it for me. But who knows... never say never.

    I didn't know elastic material could be printed as well. Would be interesting to see hot it turns out. Thank you very much Thanks! I just realised that there is no version with PF on the photos. There is only buwizz hidden inside the sleeper. But you can see PF version in the video from about 1:58 further, when the truck is shot from behind. Small AAA battery box is on the bottom of the sleeper, where Buwizz was as well, and both IR receivers are at the top of the sleeper, pointing to the back of the truck. It is a bit harder to see because I camouflaged them a bit with black tiles. Feels got to inspire I hope you finish your MOC.

    Thank you guys, I appreciate it. Yes I totaly agree. The double wheels do look like a couple of rollers, even the single ones at that scale to be honest. But we have to work with what we've got. We can't stick everything to scale modelling forum Best regards, Miha

    My dear fellow Eurobricks people, finally, again after a too long while, I managed to prepare something edible (I hope ) out of the finest ABS we all love so much. Let me introduce you my take on Kenworth W900... I’m a bit ashamed to admit, that this MOC was finished already in early 2018 and it took me until now, to prepare the photos and a video of it. This was built for our LUG’s 20th exhibition KockeFest, that took place in March 2018. It was the time when LEGO Technic Mack Anthem came out, so the theme of Technic section of the exhibition was, naturally, "container trucks and container handling machinery" in same scale as the Mack. We agreed on slightly longer containers, because, let’s be honest, the one on the Mack is a bit too short… so here it is… This whole eighteen-wheeler is some 108 studs long (87 cm) and 16 studs wide (13 cm), well the wheels might be getting close to 17 studs. The truck alone is about 50 studs (40 cm) long. The size of the containers, we agreed upon, was 15 x 15 x 37 studs (+1 for the door handles so 38 actually) and they represented 20 ft containers. As you can see from the photos, my semi-trailer could carry 2 of them. I used 1 PF L motor for propulsion and PF servo for steering. Another PF L motor was used for remote fifth wheel lock. It could be powered both with standard PF receivers and LEGO AAA battery boxes or with Buwizz. It was all hidden in the cabin’s sleeper. There was another AAA battery box on the trailer to power PF M motor for the trailer supports. Front axle is not suspended, but uses virtual pivot steering instead. It was the only way to make so tight mudguards above them and although steering angle is not the best, I think it did the job fine enough. Due to the bulky setup of servo and virtual pivot steering, I was a bit lazy under the hood, so there is nothing else there. I guess I could mock up some engine, but the way the hood was attached (it can’t be opened), it felt a bit pointless. There is some unrealistic pendular suspension on both rear axles, but I couldn’t do more on such a thin chassis. I used rubber connectors as dampers. Because the chassis is so slim, it slightly twists when throttle is applied. Here’s how this lady looks topless and below the skirt… There are some minor details in and on the the cabin, the sleeper was, as already mentioned, filled with electronics. Since this is a semi, it needs a fifth wheel, of course. It is remotely locked and I totally took the cream off of the brilliant 6x6 Truck with Tipper Semi Trailer by Pipasseyoyo, with great ratchet design for the lock. Ratchet for the fifth wheel lock below the sleeper… Fifth wheel + hitch/tow ball (I hope that’s what it’s called)... The trailer was built with Technic bricks - studs down and was sturdy enough for the two containers. It had its own receiver and battery box to operate the supports. The two tandem axles were damped with rubber connectors and adapted to the ground really well. Please forgive me for not filming the movement of the two . I hope the photos will suffice. Sexy back… Some posing to conclude... ...and a short video of course… Building instructions are available on HERE for a small fee. Thank you for reading and watching, I hope you like it, Best regards, Miha

    Fantastic chassis! I love it
  17. MajklSpajkl
    Thank you for sharing the file - it will be a great learning experience! Great renders as well!
  18. MajklSpajkl
    Coolness level 9000! Looks very disturbing... for that poor technic guy Fantastic creation. Does it run automatic, in a sense that each contraption starts the next one, or do you need to operate it "manually"? Best regards.
  19. MajklSpajkl
    With this lift of the chassis it definitely lacks some distance between the axles/length/needs to be 5 door variant ;-) It looked to short as it was as the original, but now being even higher this seems even more pronounced. Nonetheless - looking forward to the video.
  20. MajklSpajkl
    Very impressive indeed I feel for you and admire your courage Only 1,3 kg??! I love it! Especially those very innovative axles!
  21. MajklSpajkl
    I don't see nothing wrong here. It's a hobby, not school or work or contest with rules. Do what pleases you. Cutting 3L axles which come in abundance everywhere is no sin to me at all. And I totaly get your temptation about RC - been drooling on RC YT channels for months now, but haven't yet taken a step to the dark side of cash drainage ? I love your truck though. Unusualy panel-less but still looks very cool and performs great as well.

    That climbing ability is really amazing! How heavy is it so far?
  23. MajklSpajkl
    This. Is. Crazy! In a very good (and expensive) way . Seems like a lot of fun! Is it just me, or does the chassis inside the treads seem a bit bent upwards in the middle?
  24. MajklSpajkl
    Fantastic Poor Vader, maybe he overdid it on my treadmill Are the arms run simultaneously or is each arm linked to a separate wheel? So when turning one arm swings back and one forward? When I used the imperial march music for my video of Vader on a treadmill, YT muted the video or it would be removed. I hope it doesn't happen to you as well. Best regards!
  25. MajklSpajkl
    Fantastic! I like the portal axles, but I wonder whether 20t bewel gears holds up without skipping since it is only supported on one side. I guess it is really capable as it should be quite light. Can we expect a video? Best regards, Miha
