D3K's MOCs
jantjeuh replied to D3K's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looking forward to both, keep up the good work! -
Ofcourse. Some models can be very mechanically complex without using PF motors, whereas some sets that incorporate the PF system are mechanically very simple (8275 is indeed a good example of the latter). We don't get mechanically complex sets (i.e., with complex geartrains) with PF motors because they typically don't perform very well due to friction and what not, and TLG obviously only releases models that perform well. 8043 was a bit an exception I guess, and we all know what happened: TLG had to do a costly recall action because the LA's weren't up to task. I think that might have put TLG off from releasing complex PF-enabled sets.

Best B-Models of Technic Sets?
jantjeuh replied to Kumbbl's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Just finished 8049's B model, I actually prefer it to the A model by a large margin. Clever use of parts, and good use of pneumatics. -
Big Happy Technic Family
jantjeuh replied to Moyalmas's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Welcome to the forum! That's not a bad starter-collection you have there. Might I suggest 8043 and 9396 next, if you can find them for a decent price? -

That grader kicks ass, desperately needs some bigger wheels though! Here you can find plenty. -
[C-MODEL] 8110 Jeep
jantjeuh replied to MrTekneex's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Can't be much worse than the A model of 42008 Just kidding, I'm curious to see what you come up with! -
[C-MODEL] 8110 Jeep

Those power pullers look badass, but I guess it affects the performance negatively? Or didn't you RC it? -

Perhaps models should not even be nominated, but should rather attract attention by themselves in their respective topics. Great MOCs will automatically get a lot of hype/praise. -

Good point. Maybe we need a separate 'ye olde classic Technic MOCs' thread -

8053's B model is pretty damn cool. -

Well, that's your opinion. I know a lot of people who have been inspired by it -

jantjeuh replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well, it's a definite Technic classic that inspired a lot of people. I'd say the rule only applies to new MOCs -

An exception can be made for that Demag crane by Jennifer IMO, it's a Technic classic, even though it uses some custom parts. -

Damn those boats are gorgeous. A blend of Technic and Model Team at its finest.
