    Would've preferred red, but great design!

    Very interesting drivetrain approach, hyped for the 4x4 MOC

    Very beautiful model so far. The choice of old panels really gives it character making it stand out from boring plain models. PS: I know it's late , but older (3 pin-holes) version of the rims could've been used to avoid reversing rear wheels (44772 has axle holes from both sides).

    At least for me the problem is actually the non-presence of black parts in modern sets - which leads me to use LBG in chassis (which combines well with frames and old-colored gears (light gray) ) making the chassis uniformly-colored as in a real vehicle. I'd still prefer having a black chassis, since I don't understand the point of remarking with various colors the driveshafts and mechanisms, and LBG-colored chassis stands out too much. I really miss old TLG selling strategy Probably because people children of recommended age on box were getting them confused with 5x11 H-frames

    Thanks everyone for commentaries! Apologies for late answer and for bringing this back, but - LDD file ready (Open with LDD Developer Mode (click toggle physics test option) ; medium blue parts are a substitution for 2x 44135 ; 4x soft springs from 6'5l shock absorbers are used for suspension ; the leftover parts in the file shouldn't be a problem) Download: HERE! (G Drive) @HorcikDesigns No tests were performed , but I'd guess a construction brick has the same aerodynamics as this @Aventador2004 A live axle does not allow independent wheel movement , this , is however an independent suspension , since one wheel's movement does not affect other wheel(s) - as shown in the videoclip embedded in the first post

    Fantastic-looking replica. Full of functions and resembles the original , with the red color suiting it well.

    Magnificent, bravo.

    Good Day. This is a small desert-rally styled offroader that was made in roughly 8-9 hours during New Year's holidays. Weight of 637g. Powered by BuWizz v1. Features: -4x4 drive with slowest output of buggy motor -Return-to-center steering (m-motor) -Independent suspension on all wheels -Over 2 studs of clearance under the car -Openable doors, bonnet and trunk. -Detailed engine bay & interior -Stickers all over the car, including rear-view mirrors & rear lights -Minor detailing on the outside (lightbar, antenna...) The suspension mechanism relies on the vertical movement of the drive input of the axle , changing main pivot point from one CV to another, allowing for each wheel's independent movement from each other. Video: Photos: Thanks for reading!

    Apologies , completely forgot it - 6216 it is

    You can NOT simply speak about voltage, current has also an important role ,I know that even with my limited electric knowledge. It isn't the same having 12v 500mah and 12v 2000mah. High current may burn receivers (specially v1 , v2 seems to be better) even if voltage is in "official" 9v zone. And the 9V and PF motors* ( not RC r neither PF receivers to my knowledge) are actually 12v ones, there have been various tests reaching the limits of them, even here on Eurobricks. But I wouldn't recommend using any lego electric components above the usual voltage , you will shorten their lifetime with or without high current. It's like constantly maxing out the engine in your car , stressing all components and killing it . Also , all TLG motors have internal gearing , which may break under stress ( check video by Desert Eagle here) Anyway , judge by yourself *Note: Buggy motors are in 9V category

    Because it uses the (almost) standard accumulators for RC cars , which are in this case 7'2v . And even bricklink lists it as Electric, Battery Pack 7.2V

    My only buggy motor is 5016 - and I got it in 2006, so it may indeed be production year EDIT: I have also the Outdoor Challenger (8675) from 2006 , and all RC (7'2v system , not 9V!) components are marked as followed: 7'2v RC motor- 5216 7'2v RC unit- 4216 7'2v RC steering motor- 1226 So this may confirm the production year theory.

    One can use the turntables for a planetary gear reduction-rim. Here's some examples

    Part nº x928cx1. This post shows the steering mechanism Marxpek uses : here. I'm sure you weren't in a death situation when writing , so some more grammar and punctuation effort is welcome. Regarding the RC versus IR discussion: TLG's main target are children , so toys going around at 30-40km/h and breaking parts are quite a hazard , not to mention possible injuries with gears and crashes. Edit: It looks like TechnicSummse beaten it to me

    Actually , the 42070 b-model is somewhat similar to the b-model of 8859 (although the recent one is )
  16. syclone
    Maybe more small (<100€) PF sets (like Ice9, Yellow Fever...). And please , if there is a PF system upgrade , let it be RC (as 8366) , not Smartphone-based (although seeing Boost set I am losing my hope)
  17. syclone
    Reminds me of Speed Racer. Hopefully there will be enought weekends in fall
  18. syclone
    If it is what I think it is - OH YES!
  19. syclone
    Seen this previously on YouTube , amazing machine!
  20. syclone
    Looks fantastic , the colorscheme is just perfect. Do you happen to have any underside shots of this model?
  21. syclone
    I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened
  22. syclone
    In general , good MOC. But: the rear is disastrous, the fifth wheel must be much lower the wheel arches are too rectangular, flex axles could've been used to archieve the curved surface better detailing inacuracies - missing small grille on side of the (hood?), sidesteps too short... Sorry if it's too much, but since this is a representation of a real truck...

    Imo it is too boxy , I understand that it is much easier to build with modern 3x11 panels, however ,even the original has a curve on the non-driver side; try the curved 5x11 (#18) panel instead. I'm quite sure that with a few angled connectors and more time you can even make an openable door on the driver side
  25. syclone
    Fantastic, any possible hints as to the theme picked?
