Your "2 minute ?bad?" photoshop lokes really realistic, at least on my mobile. The car looks awesome!

That's just craaaaaazy!!! I like it more than your previous MOC, which was also unbelievable. Ovet 1m meter long!!?!?!?! Spectacular design, your can water your garden with it Looking forward to the video.

Thank you guys for all the nice words, you really made my Sunday DrJB, maybe I could scrap some more photos, but there is not much further details of the build on them. I took those photos during disassembly. I admit, the lower part of the hull and the suspension might be usefull for some tank maybe. Regarding the driven sprockets - I can't say, really. Yes they are all driven and in my opinion it ads a lot to the power, but I'm guessing the rear driven sprockets do a bit more work, the front ones are lending an extra hand. Maybe someone else would know how to explain the physics behind this one. Well maybe I was overdoing it all with that fugliness - maybe it's the upper lights - they kinda remind me of my friend from childhood, who could flip his eyelids upwards, so he couldn't close his eyes I took that field trip to the hills above my hometown on the February 28th, where there were still few stripes of snow, but it was already melting and freezing during the night, so it was more like riding blended ice. And yeah, you can see I let those photos and videos ripe well Oh great, so they weren't a total kick in the dark after all

Red looks cool!!! Perhapse it still needs flex axles for the mudguards. I like it better with that rear wing. Good job!!!

Hi! It's been quite a while since I managed to put something together and even longer since I managed to put it "on paper". I'd like to present you my latest, and already an old MOC, may it rest in pieces, The Red Pitbull Terrier! At first, this one was supposed to be my noble steed for the unfortunately canceled winter trial truck (kinda) competition organised by our national LUG. Stressed out due cancelation, this horsey grew bigger and fatter than it was ment to be for the actual race. I admit, it is rather fugly, but it was a lot of fun to build and drive also. I am especially happy about how did the suspension come out - the tracks adapt(ed) to the surface very smoothly and there is no bending of the road wheels towards the outside. Thanks to our EB colleague Kelkschiz and his I learned, that what I've built is called a Christie tank suspension . As a keen eye will certainly notice, I used the small shock absorbers with normal springs. Only when I put the cab on, I learned that the front road wheels had to be suspended on hard springs, because the weight of the cabin was pulling the whole truck's front down. My intention was, to build the tracks like a module with spring inside this module, which would then be attached to the hull. After several trial and error iterations, I abandoned that idea, because I didn't manage to eleminate the bending of the road wheels towards the sides of the truck. I ended up attaching each road wheel one after another, kinda like stitching and prepared me quite some "fun" for disassembly As for the hull, I thought I managed to seal the bottom and the sides of it quite well, but that damn half melted snow reached every dark corner of that ogre anyway! As you can see on the photo below, I decided that this puppy should run on four PF XL motors, with all sprocket wheels driven. The motors were geared down just a bit (12/20 -> 1/1.67). I really recommend those "new" wheel hubs for mounting the sprocket wheels - they hold as Kragle and I don't recall the tracks ever slipping of them, as it seems it often happens when sprocket wheels are mounted on axles only, as they tend to bend. As you can see, I built some kind of a gutter for the tracks , so that no return wheels were needed. That two stud wide gutter in combination with the mudguards also kept the tracks tucked in nice, preventing them to slip off. Some transversal girders were also used to make both sides of the suspension sturdier. A nice, warm pit remained in the center of the hull for two AAA battery boxes. Two sets of 63 tracks were used. The motors were connected in pairs, each pair to its own V2 IR receiver. The receivers were placed under the hood of the cab, therefore a fake cooling fan. Although the tracks tend to slip, I decided not to mount any transversal ribs on them and went for a tight fit with the muguards. So here it is, with some accessories to make it look badass - at least that was my intention . Final dimensions are approximately W/L/H = 48/25/26 studs. Weight: 2.3 kilos. Two sets of PF LED lights were used, each powered by one of the BB's, so they were lit all the time. I tried to make the cab look a bit like the older tracked trucks that goooooogle provided me with. I had those transclear dome pieces for a while so I tried them out as a bulb for the lights. I still can't say whether I like the outcome or not. Can someone please explain why would somebody need turn signals in the middle of Syberia??? I sure can't say :laugh: ! The cab was somewhat fun to build because it starts with even width and ends with odd. Lately I really like Technic creations to be manned, so there are my three brave soldiers, kicking winter and bora in the face! I hope you like it, otherwise feel free to rip me apart P.S.: Yes, there is . I was, again, foolish enough to edit the video along with music that is under copyright, so the actual music you'll be hearing is just barely coherent with the cuts... I recommend listening to the "original" music which should be in the video, but it got shot down due forementioned world of legal stuff etc... I provided the link at the begining of the video. I must also add, that this baby was named after that song...I hope this little naivity of mine won't degrade your opinion on this build.Cheers, miha P.P.S.: I hope my "hero-doesn't-go-pro" didn't make any of you sick because of all the shaking... My fair lady provided me her LG G3, which I abused on this torture tool Thx baby.

Hi, I got a nice picture that ilustrates the week and the strong actuators well... As the link that Milan suggested says, you should check the serial number of the LA, which is next to the axle hole.

Wow, such a mad beast!!! How come you left the midle u-joint unbraced, were there no problems cause of that? You sure like to clean you bricks :-P

Far better looks and functions than the A or B model, makes me wish I owned this set!

Wow, good idea and execution. I like the placing of the buggy motors! So the differential is driven by two 20t gears? How fast is it, comparing to 8366? I short video would be nice...

Well done Jerry, I really like the use of those 9L links!

That is one deep review Jim, I must say you got me tempted Now, let me just take a look at my wallet...hmmm...yeah, it's empty No bright green for me yet I, again, must point out your faboulous photos, although I can see that even for masters like you are, taking a picture of the instructions booklets is also hard. That glare of the front cover (boxes as well) is a real pain... Don't get me wrong, mine are far far worse Regards, miha

I really like, but I think the tires should be those from 42029. Otherwise, good job!

I agree.

Are you sure you are human, because your work is out of this world!!! A total jaw-dropper!

Good job Miguev, I really like your color MOD.

I guess the rules are up to the race host...some LUG have very restrictive rules, some only a few pointers... In our country, where there is a relatively small base of truckers, it is only necessary to use nothing but PF components (nor buggy motors or RC) amd the gates are set at 30 studs width... If we would have such strict rules like Polish or Chechs LUGs, there wouldn't be anyone to compete.

Looks really good and the ground clearance is amazing. It should have no problems on any kind of snow!

Wow, those trucks look really cool. It's taking a lot of time for my pc to finish the renders from LDD too, especially for bigger resolutions of images.

About wider tracks, here is my try from a couple of winters back: It was way too chunky for two buggy motors so I switched to double XL - hence snailmobile instead snowmobile. Also the skis are quite wide, but I can't say that was good idea either. I guess trial and error approach will bring you best results ;-)

Wow, I googled the real thing and what you've acomplished is extraordinary!!! If you could make the rear mudguards not angular, then this one would be out of this world! Congratulations!

Yet again, so few points to give among so many who deserve credit! 28: 10 26: 6 21: 4 27: 3 38: 2 5: 1

Such HOG is not all that new. Pneumatic mobile crane 8460 used the same principle, perhapse some other sets too...

Wow, this is the best drum from Technic I've seen so far!!! It feels it should be a bit longer, but still great. Are the inside blades good enough to actually unload some bricks? The only thing that you are missing is a water tank behind the cab. Otherwise great job :-)

A kick in the nuts is much to soft for a punishment - I'm disgusted by such people, I hope they ban that sh**face from the internet!!!!!

The chassis looks fantastic, but I find the csb too small. How fast is it with those worm gears on RC motor?
