Beautiful The Countach is one of my favorite supercars of all time (I prefer it to the Gallardo, Diablo and Murcielago at least), and this is a great rendition of it Would like to see it in orange as well, LEGO are you listening?

Looks nice, but a big big Here are some ideas for smaller Torsen differentials. Anyone ever used one in a MOC btw?

Backend looks nice, but somehow the cab and front grille don't really appeal to me.

Cool, I'm definitely buying that backhoe

I actually like the black Enzo

Just found this thread, some great ideas in here

Aren't the current LA's a bit oversized for that?

Sounds good, now convince LEGO to create one Here are some ideas for return-to-center steering.

I guess you use those old red universal joints because they can handle higher torque? Shame the MOC failed, that suspension looks wicked indeed.

Thanks for the link, I'll check out the other thread. Back on topic now!

When I saw that video a month or so ago I was wondering how one could make that work with LEGO Technic.. will be very interesting to see a video of the finished thing!

Doh, sorry

You're well known around here, as this shows ;-) Working on any new trucks by any chance?

Bit offtopic but that is one sexy helicopter.. you made instructions/a parts lists for it by any chance?

That looks pretty sophisticated.. I guess you used that in your own trucks? How did it perform? Edit: with 'round to cross bush' you mean this little fella?

So it all boils down to manufacturing issues.. how boring

fmmjqtft made the interesting comment that this suspension as-is requires the rear axle to be located only 14 studs behind the front axle for true Ackermann steering, which is a bit short for heavy trucks. If you replace the two axle and pin connectors by something that's 5 studs long, there can be 28 studs between the axles (for true Ackermann steering).

Haha, that was more or less my reaction when I stumbled upon this MOC It's really well done indeed. Love the custom linear actuators.

It would also help if you could proofread your posts before submitting them.. some of them are a bit hard to read because of all the spelling mistakes/improper punctuation Just a friendly suggestion!

Very useful for those of us who build heavy vehicles! Full article, including photo instructions, can be found here.

Found this little gem on Ingmar's MOC page, thought it was pretty cool and deserved its own topic. He has posted building instructions as well, which can be found here. More information at Ingmar's MOC page.

C&C music? Isn't that Wagner's Ritt der Walküre? Made famous (again) by the helicopter scene in Apocalypse Now, I bet that's why Zblj chose it

Any idea why they decided to use the X orientation? Ah, that makes sense actually. Thanks.

I've been out of LEGO Technic for 10+ years, and have only recently returned. I've acquired a number of recent sets to get me started again (8043, 8053, 8265) and I noticed some new parts (well, new for me anyway ). I have some questions about them, I hope someone can enlighten me.. Technic, Pin Connector Round with Slot (Pin Joiner Round) I get that this connector can be used to link two pins together, but why is there a slot on one side? Technic, Axle Connector (Ridged with + hole + orientation) Technic, Axle Connector (Ridged with x hole x orientation) Technic, Axle Connector (Smooth with x hole + orientation) This connector is obviously used to link two axles together (and the ridged ones can also be used in combination with the driving ring). What's up with the different hole/orientation combinations though? You also have Technic bricks with x holes rather than + holes I noticed.
