    That's a cool truck, quite impressed by it's ground clearance and suspension travel, although it's a bit slow for my taste. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. What's cool that it also won the RoLUG Household Tools contest, so I am very pleased.

    Hey guys! I want to present to you my 2nd 1:1 scale replica of a household item, this time an electric jigsaw with a reciprocating blade. It's the cordless version and my inspiration are the awesome Black & Decker tools. As motorizing goes, it's quite fast, considering the blade is moved using an RC buggy motor. It holds the big battery box in the base and a switch is placed in the handle, in order to operate it. I also added a fake speed trigger, blade removal clamp and cutting guide bar. Although it's powerful, it's perfectly safe for children, as that Bionicle blade cannot even shred toilet paper or napkins, believe me, I tried :) And yes, it has a presentation video: If you want to see more, check out my Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/braker23/albums/72157679539808126/with/32552239465/

    Looks and works just like the real thing, great job mate :)

    That's awesome! I just love the looks and many functions, moves very close to a real dragon, thanks for sharing :) I usually build Technic dinosaurs for my older son, but not motorized, so this one will surely get his attention, I hope someone can make instructions.

    Awesome tractor, very good attachments, great job mate!

    Thanks Grum. But who is Jake? :)

    Thanks mate. These blades are the best you can use for generating wind, but unfortunately, they are found in a single set (9688 Renewable Energy), so they are pretty expensive: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=89509

    Agreed, but I did not build this for cooling up, but for one of my LUG contests called "Household objects". See all entries here: http://www.rolug.ro/category/concurs/concursuri-incheiate/concurs-household-objects I actually won this competition, so I' m very proud of my creation :)

    Hey everyone! It's been a while since I presented one of my models here, but I believe this one should get your attention, as it's not something that you build everyday. It's my first life-size model, a fully functional electric fan. It features an on-off switch, 2 buttons for choosing the speed (low and high) and a switch for the oscillating motion. It uses an L motor placed in the base that drives a 2-speed high-torque gearbox, and an old 9V motor (71427) placed in the fan head, for the lateral movement. It's powered by a large BB, found in the base (naturally). It's quite heavy (around 2 Kg), but sturdy and reliable, so it can be used as a real fan (into high speed), as long as you don't mind replacing batteries too often :) But enough talk, check out the photos and video below.

    I honestly love it, looks awesome and very detailed for its size, good luck!

    Wow, this is an awesome opportunity and I would love to participate, but sadly, Russia is so far away. Also, I need a Visa, and getting one is a lengthy process. But thanks for the open invite, I will definitely try to come, next year :)

    OMG! This looks so real it freaks me out. Outstanding details, many functions, this is an awesome work, pls share any of your past MOCs, I bet they are worth it. HoF material, if I ever saw one :)

    Thanks Sariel for making this cool How-To video. I have been using this setup since May, it works like a charm. The app developed by Istvan is very good, more reliable than the official one, at least on my Android phone. I am certain it will work just as good with a PS3 controller, or any Bluetooth gamepad, for that matter.

    Very cool replica of the original, awesome motorized functions, very good manual functions, one of the best Technic truck and trailer I have ever seen :)
  19. braker23
    Truly amazing work, this is the best Technic robot I have ever seen, the details and articulation capabilities are impressive, thanks for sharing!

    So photos are worthless? Funny, but I don't share your opinion. Getting back on topic, the car looks awesome, I love the gap-less design and the way you put the engines, great job :)
  21. braker23
    Amazing speed, great looks, very cool paneling, bravo!
  22. braker23
    Well, it's good to know I am not the only one that feels this competition took a wrong turn. I built the only hybrid car in this contest, the only using a solar panel, one of the few prototypes, fully motorized, with loads of functions, good proportions and accurate details, yet it was not chosen in the final 20. Can anyone tell me why? See my topic here, pls share your thoughts: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138334

    Thanks a lot my friend, I really appreciate your feedback. But that's not the central diff, it's the diff that connects the solar-powered M motor to the drive-train.
  24. braker23
    Thanks for you kind words, I really appreciate it :) Well, the solar panel cannot provide more than 7V of power, under direct sunlight, so that's really low for a car of this size and weight. But this was not my intention, anyway. The car has enough power from the 2 L motors, each connected to one BB and receiver. The solar panel is there merely to provide a boost in speed, if the sun is shining or if you place it under a desk lamp (see video). The panel powers an M motor that is connected to the transmission by the 3rd differential (see bottom view photo).

    Hey guys, let me introduce you to my latest MOC, I really want to know what you think of it. Now this is my first Supercar, cause I usually build trial trucks and tanks. The source of my inspiration was the amazing Porsche 918 Spyder, which I wanted to convert to a solar-electric hybrid car. First of all, I tried to keep the proportions and details of the real model. Then, I struggled to integrate the solar panel and make it work and look good, thus becoming the first Lego Technic solar supercar to date. I’ve built it in the 1:10 scale, fully RC, driven by 2 L motors, has a motorized 4-speed sequential gearbox, advanced suspension geometry on both axles. Doors and hood open, has an adjustable spoiler, matching trolley, wiper, mirrors, head lamps, tail lights, brake calipers, and also a detailed interior featuring a working steering wheel, central console with GPS, gauges and pedals, the works :) Full specs: Weight: 1950g Size: 50 x 22 x 13 cm Transmission: 2 L motors (AWD) Steering: M motor (working steering wheel) Gearbox: M motor Solar acceleration: M motor Control: 2 IR receivers Power: 2 AAA battery boxes + solar panel Front axle suspension: double wishbone Back axle suspension: multi-link suspension Manual functions: hood, doors, wiper, spoiler Features: brake calipers, mirrors, head lamps, tail lights Stickers: custom-made But enough talk, I will let the photos and video speak for themselves. Sorry for the poor quality video, this is my first time I actually did any editing :) If you want to see the rest of the photos (93 in total), please see my Flickr album: https://www.flickr.c...57668871336033/ Thanks for your time, have a great day :)
