Thanks. I don't really plan on using outside so the tyres aren't much of a problem. I do plan on getting some more off-road tyres at some point though.

Hello all. This is my second chassis experiment. I made this mainly to try and make live axles on both the front and the back which went fairly well. I also tried to do return-to-center steering which didn't go very well. Doesn't work overly well but for a first attempt i don't think it's to bad. Also this is the first time I made a pair of seats from scratch instead of just using the ones from my 8437 Future Car. A few of the problems with this model: the springs for the suspension are too soft and i don't have any harder springs so hence i used them, I don't think the drive train would be strong enough if there was a whole body on it and finally i ran out of pieces. hence I only made the front cabin. As usual it's powered by a XL motor for drive, a M motor for the steering and it has the IR receiver and battery box. It also has a V12 engine and a front fan to cool the engine down. (Doesn't really need it, Just thought it would be cool. ) I also had to nick the steering wheel from my 8110 Unimog as i don't have any spare ones. The tyres however i didn't take from my Unimog, i managed to get a spare set of 4 of them so now i have 8 Unimog tyres. On with the pictures: And now some pictures without the cabin on. more pictures here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=518238 (once it becomes public that is.) And finally a video of it: Hope you like it. Any comments/questions welcome.

Those are some very nice prizes. Thanks for doing this raffle CopMike. Good luck to all that entered.

My entry. The presents will actually fit inside the back of the sleigh.

Many congratulations Grohl. Well done.

This must be the best LEGO bike i've ever seen. It looks amazing and there's so many details. Truly well done. :thumbup: Also supported on CUUSOO. I would love to own one of these.

Very nice Dropship grohl. A great alternate model for 8081. Just downloaded the instructions. Will have to build this at some point.

Wow. This is just incredible. I remember seeing this racing truck on a old video i have. From a distance you could almost think it was the real thing. Well done. :thumbup: I wish i could build as good as this...

Very nice review. I got this set ages ago and it's currently half in pieces. Keep meaning to put it back together.

Good grief. Wow. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe this. Trully well done. :thumbup:

This was possibly one of the first Technic sets i owned. Nice review.

Congrats to all the lucky winners.

I would go for the 8880 Super Car. Such an amazing Technic set.

What a great looking VW Golf. looks like it works really well too. Nice job on the bonnet and doors. Well done.

Thanks DLuders.

Hello all. I post today a quick model that i built in about a week. It is inspired by the M1128 Mobile Gun System. It has six wheels four of which steer. It also has a moveable gun turret. On with the pictures: and a video of it's functions: And thats it. I hope you like it.

Thanks for all the great comments all. :) Thanks. It actually works fairly well driving it and moving the wheels at the same time. I just didn't think to do that in the video. The reason the steering is slow is because i used a couple of worm gears connected to a 24 tooth gear. you can just about see the worm gear in this picture: Yeah most of my pieces need a clean. I just haven't quite gotten round to it yet.

Thanks Dluders.

Hi all. This is my latest MOC, A Racing Truck. It uses 1 PF XL motor for drive, 1 PF M motor for the steering and 1 battery box and 1 IR receiver. It has a working hood, working doors and a fake 4 cylinder engine with super charger. The suspension it uses is similar to the 8110 Unimog but they won't move like pendular suspension. They just go up and down. I only have one U-Joint so i had to improvise with the front suspension/steering. On with the pictures: And a video of it: And that it. I hope you liked it. :)

Good grief thats a lot of parts. Makes my collection look microscopic.

I made a motorised dragster a while ago with just one M PF motor, a IR receiver and a battery box. It had a 24 tooth gear on the motor and a 8 tooth gear on the axle. It had slow acceleration from a standing start but could go fairly quickly if you lifted it up, started the motor and and then pushed it as you dropped it. What i'm trying to get at is i think the XL PF motor could have gone faster if you had the right gearing combination because it has much more torque. I plan on seeing if i can get a LEGO dragster to go quicker than my old one. I've also been trying to think of a way to measure how quick the LEGO vehicles go. Haven't come up with anything yet.

Such a fantastic ship. looks brilliant, Well done.

Fantastic DC-3 Ssorg. Thats a lot of chrome. Well done.

Absolutely amazing. This is just incredible. Well done Hans. :thumbup:
