Where did the MOC index go?
jantjeuh replied to jantjeuh's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
All I see there are two reviews of MOCs, and no links to MOCs themselves? -
MB Trac - German tractor
jantjeuh replied to Balrog's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I missed this one as well, looks pretty cool! Wouldn't mind some instructions (or loads of pictures) when you finish it ;-) -
How to AWD Steering?
jantjeuh replied to selfshot's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Check out Madoca's excellent SUV Mk2, it features AWD with 2 x XL for drive and 1 x Servo for steering. Edit: here you have pictorial instructions: https://plus.google....727481712223793 -
Yeah, I noticed the sluggish steering and bump steer in 8110 as well, but didn't have the technical know-how to put it down to the bad pivot geometry and caster angle. I guess 9398 and 41999 suffer from the same problems as well, since (if I recall correctly) they use a similar suspension/steering setup.

Parts Unique to THIS Set Only
jantjeuh replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It's a very ugly set but it has some very nice parts -

What's so bad about angled steering arms? Not everyone is a steering geometry expert -
42008 is really one of the ugliest Technic sets released in the past decade. What were they thinking at Lego ?!? But yeah, I second the vote for 42000. It looks good, and it's a nice parts pack to boost.

Rebrickable.com
jantjeuh replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Something that would also be useful is to be able to set up matching 'rules'. For instance, have old grey gears match the new light bluish gears, or have old-style pin connectors without slot match the new ones with slot. -
Rebrickable.com
jantjeuh replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Check out basebrick.com, I find that site perfect for managing my parts inventory. I keep my parts updated there, then export to Rebrickable to match MOCs etc. -
D3K's MOCs
jantjeuh replied to D3K's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
How about a proper garbage truck? With crusher, container pickup, etc. -
I've been looking through the instructions of Madoca's supercar, monster truck and SUV, and I must say I'm really impressed by his skill. Very clean building style, with good use of parts, and impressive styling to boot. TLG-worthy models IMO. Can't wait for his next MOC.

8070 Spider
jantjeuh replied to therealjustin's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I actually managed to build in a V12 instead of the original V8 when I made my 8070 fully RC a year ago (and redesigned the ugly backside), let's see if I still have some pictures somewhere.. And yes, the 8878 rechargeable battery box is a must!
