Does anyone have a good design for suspension on a single, dual wheeled rear axle because all my attempts at this have resulted in failure. It is best if this design doesn't have more than four suspension rods due to parts restraints. PROJECT UPDATE: I have got two door designs nearly completed with pictures coming in the next day or so. There are also two chassis designs, one with the beginnings of suspension and another without, I will use the chassis without suspension unless I can get well working suspension that I can build with my parts available to me.

Another great design Sariel This creation gives me even more reason to get the new driving rings and a second servo motor. I see that the gear lever that engages the gear comes out of contact with the driving ring when engaged, does this cause it to slip out of gear under high torque? Keep up the good work!

Hey all, I am planning on making an MAN SL202 from Redbus NZ (Now out of service), and was hoping that one of my fellow builders would have a good working design for a proper bus door that is remote controllable. I have been fiddling around with a concept for this but it has some major issues that prevent it from working properly, so please if you have a good design you could share with me it would be very much appreciated. Below are some photos of the bus in question. Also if there is anyone out there who has an image or two of the rear of one of these Redbus's, it would be greatly appreciated. This project would be far easier if these buses were still in service! Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, I will be keeping you updated on the progress of the MOC as it happens. Happy bricking mates, Kiwi_Builder.

Good to see another kiwi on Eurobricks mate Looking pretty good, have you built it with bricks or haven't you ordered them yet? You should build some more kiwi trucks on LDD. Cheers, Kiwi_Builder.

I am currently most of the way through my latest project to build a large Technic house moving truck and trailer. I had also been wanting to build a Scania T143m, I have never actually seen one in real life but their 'lack of curves' without better terms has always attracted me to them. I have currently got the truck built with the trailer a few hours' work away. The truck is RC with 3 functions; XL motor for drive, servo motor for steering and 2 L motors for a sliding turntable. There is also a flashing light mechanism that automatically turns on when the battery box is started. The XL motor is geared down to increase torque and decrease speed, so far the only main problem I have encountered is the drivetrains gearing is prone to slipping from the resistance put up when pulling the trailer. I have braced the gearing from the top, bottom and one side, so if anyone could give me help on how to stop that happening would be much appreciated. The truck is 50cm X 18.5cm, has 58 light pieces and weighs 2 kilograms. While I have been MOCing for many years now this is my first post on EB. I have put some photos up on Bricksafe: http://bricksafe.com/pages/Kiwi_Builder/Technic/house%20moving%20truck I will hopefully have a video up in the next few days. All feedback is appreciated, Adam (Kiwi_Builder).

Hey all, I'm Adam and I'm from little old New Zealand. I make MOCs of trucks and other vehicles using Lego Technic. If you look through my creations you will see how our vehicles in NZ are different to those in your country. I hope to post on EB regularly and can't wait to show you my next creation! I have posted my current MOC now \/ http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=104708
