    Here is a Eurobricks topic about custom rover wheels: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50279

    Nice wheel covers, Jurgen Krooshoop used the same idea in his Koenigsegg CCX, pictured here on the front of Sariel's book:

    Looks great, well done
  4. Technic Jim
    Cool looks!

    The first crawler town kind of reminds me of the Mortal Engines books by Philip Reeve

    Thank you! The little black gear on top is connected to 32054 which relies on friction to turn the front axle. The other axles are all solidly fixed so can't turn.

    My mini version of 42009. I wouldn't call it nano because it has 80 pieces but I'm quite pleased with it anyway:
  8. Technic Jim
    Looks cool! Looking forward to your video, will there be drones involved...

    I build on the floor surrounded by Lego. My back or knees aren't complaining yet (aah, the joys of youth!) but it is a pain to clean up. I also am a bit of a perfectionist so will make sure a build is perfect, even if that means taking it all apart to fix the bit that is right in the middle! I will also never tire of playing with a completed build; I will spend half a day outside driving my crawler over rocks and other rough terrain and it will still be as exciting as anything.

    Very... orange! You decide whether that is a good or bad thing.

    I hadn't actually come across them bur I see what you mean. They are still blue though!
  12. Technic Jim
    That seat looks so much nicer than the blue Lego ones!
  13. Technic Jim
    Really cool and cute

    The LDD file is now done but I cant upload it here for some reason. So, I've posted it on Brickshelf at my gallery, http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Technic-Jim . By for now, Jim

    @agrof I love the look of that chassis - its so small and cute!
  16. Technic Jim
    Thank you! I was quite pleased with it as well.
  17. Technic Jim
    Really good idea! I hadn't thought of that but I know that you can fill the rim with smaller tires such as 58090 to make the tire stick

    I dont know but they sure look expensive... I would also have to change the RC motor gearing output because I doubt it could drive them at its current ratios.

    ...well, sort of. It isn't strictly flying, just sort of spinning around in a circle but it is propelled by a propellor and with all the motors and battery boxes integrated is probably the closest Lego will ever get to flying. The original idea wasn't actually my idea but the work of ISOGAWAYoshito. He posted a video title HELIOPT3R - ROBOT REMIX#1 Yoshito (found here: ) and I thought that that looked pretty cool. It only took me 8 months to make one! Mine is a lot less complex than his and uses a RC motor for drive. The front facing propellor is for rotating it around and is geared at 1:1.6 from the RC motor's fast output. The top facing propellor is to keep the weight on the pivot point, a 3L axle with stop, to a minimum making the model more efficient. Here are some pictures of it: Here is one of the gearing/transmission between the two propellors and the RC motor. Two of the propellor. The holes you can see in the white background of the two images are from where I misjudged how close the propellor was to the backing. Whoops! And finally a video: Thanks for reading. I'm making a LDD file at the moment so that will be ready soon. Please leave any feedback or queries you have and I'll [try to!] answer them, Jim.

    You already posted a topic for this called exactly the same thing with exactly the same content 3 minutes earlier than this one. Do you really need two?
  21. Technic Jim
    Wow! That thing looks huge!

    Take out the s in the url so you are left with http:// at the start. Here you go:

    Nice model and video. The truck looks great with just a hint of Arocs but the suspension seems quite hard and limited in range. Would it be worth changing the yellow shocks for some weaker grey ones?
  24. Technic Jim
    Ok!

    Thank you. The base was loosely modelled on desert Eagle's drift car chassis. He posted a video on his YouTube channel.The instructions are here: And his car is here:
