    Yeah, pretty much every red part I own is in this model, including two red seats!

    I play around with the door/wing and came up with the following. I'm still not sure about them. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

    Here is my work in progress entry for [TC7]. Normal Mode: Bandit Mode: Story: The bandits were looking to develop a new vehicle utilizing a new engine prototype that allowed for huge amounts of torque and speed. This new vehicle, named Firehawk, would be lightweight and fast built for those missions that required the bandits to get in and out of a situation quickly. This new photon rotary engine pushes the limits on speed allowing the Firehawk to outrun pretty much everything of the known enforcers line of vehicles. Unfortunately, to keep the weight down, the Firehawk is not loaded down with big weapons, but just some basic weapons to get the job done. Naturally, a sports car body would be the normal mode powered by a conventional V12 piston engine, with the ability to transform into a supersonic plane powered by the photon rotary engine. Normal mode features: - Fully Independent Suspension. - Working Front Steering Using Steering Wheel. - Working V12 Powering Rear Wheels, with differential. - Special Gearbox/Transmission That Couples Two Separate Engines To Rear Wheels. - 3 Forward Gears + Reverse For The V12 - 2 High Speed Forward Gears For The Photon Rotary Engine (Car Mode When Transformed). - Working Headlights - Working Doors Bandit Mode (Still working on this) - Transform To Plane - Doors Turn Into Main Wings (Manual) - Rear Air Intake Into Rear Wings (Manual) - Photon Rotary Engine Extends, Lights Rotate With Wheels (Pneumatic Switch On Dash) - 2 Front Large Caliber Guns (Hidden Behind Headlights That Manually Fold Down) - 2 Rear Mini Missile Launchers (Launch Via Pneumatic Switch On Dash) Other: - Pneumatics powered by manual pump and air tank. - Front Headlights Powered By 9v Battery Box. - Photon Rotary Engine Light Powered By 9v Battery Box. I'm still tweaking a few things on this model yet, but wanted to share to gather any additional insights to potentially make it better prior to the contest deadline. Once I get the tweaks complete, I will shoot and post a video.

    I must not have read the rules close enough as I used black for the chassis in my model. I vote we allow it, as I’m pretty sure I do not have the parts I need in other colors or the time to reconstruct my entry, and I would like to still participate in the contest. I understand if black is not allowed however.

    If I had an sbrick, here are some pictures of what the MOC would look like. If my calculations are correct, I should be able to fit the sbrick and wires right behind the front bumper under the battery box. This would also allow the removal of the IR receivers in order to free up a lot more room in the cab. Technic Police Guy now has enough room for his head and can now drive his truck... if only I had an sbrick!

Dump Bed Pickup Truck Discussion Topic Functions: - 1 Servo Motor: Steering - 1 Large Motor: Rear Wheels - 1 Medium Motor: Dump Bed (small LA) - 1 Medium Motor: Switch Headlights On/Off - 2 IR receivers as I do not have an s-brick. Other Features - Limited slip rear differential - Live rear axle suspension - Perpendicular front axle with steering - Steering wheel turns with servo motor - Doors open and close manually

    Here is the final version of the truck, all ready for the contest. Special thanks to the Lego technic police guy for his help in filming the video.

    Redesigned the front to include a bumper and added some doors. Not so sure about the doors yet, but still a work in progress.

    Might be slightly off topic, but what if the cost of a set was reduced by 10% but no b-model. For those that like the b-model, would you rather a cheaper price tag, or keep the b-model? My opinion, I like the b-model, but would rather a cheaper price tag on the set, then setup a program with MOCrs to develop and deliver quality alternate builds with instructions. I think MOCrs would do the alternate builds for the recognition. Lego could approve and publish the alt builds on their site. Advertisement on the boxes could show that on average, for sets with part counts of x, we normally see y number of alternate models, or something like this. I think this would be a win-win for everybody, what does everybody else think?

    Thanks for the comments! Here is a pic with the bed tipped: These are the biggest tires and wheels I have. The wheels just stick out a half stud past the body, which I think looks good. I played around making it a little wider at first, but was not happy with the look.

    Here is my work in progress entry for tc6. I just want to start by saying that I have recently resurrected my old technic collection and looking to get back into the hobby. I saw this contest, so ordered up some pf parts, and the fun began. All my sets are the old studded sets, so I hope this does not hurt my chances! Back when I did MOCs (20 years ago) similar models to this were my favorite, but I was never able to motorized till now! Functions: - 1 Servo Motor: Steering - 1 Large Motor: Rear Wheels - 1 Medium Motor: Dump Bed (small LA) - 1 Medium Motor: Switch Headlights On/Off (a wimpy function, but my kids love it) - 2 IR receivers as I do not have an s-brick. Other Features - Limited slip rear differential - Live rear axle suspension - Perpendicular front axle with steering - Steering wheel turns with servo motor - Hopefully more to come! Looking to add some doors, but not sure how to best do this using my old parts, which I am almost out of. Any suggestions on this would be welcome. Also, please share any improvements and or features I should add, as comments are welcome, especially since I have not done a MOC in many years so my techniques are probably out of date.

    I was thinking of hooking the led lights to a switch, that would be connected directly to the battery box. I could then use a motor connected to the IR receiver to operate the switch, thus enabling the turning on or off the lights. Hopefully this makes more sense!

    Might be pushing the rules a bit, but would using the led lights on a switch powered by a motor count as a function?
