@Fuzzylegobricks Yes, light would give it the final touch, but its quite hard to fit them in without screwing the design... @freakwave Yes, your right with the point that the model will not perform well in snow, but I didn't build it for that purpose. I really like the Idea to squeeze many functions into small space and use some sort of mechanism to have more RC functions than motors. I originally planned to make the model bigger and with XL-motors without being related to an official lego model, but as I started building the gearbox, I realized that it would fit into the 8263 if I use M-motors @davidmull Thank you for your comment. I am currently planning some other attachments. I'm thinking about some sort of claw arm and a bridge launcher

Thanks for your answer. There is currently no snow here in Germany so I currently can't test it in real life situations :p Here are some more pictures :)

Thank you for the comments. I just realized that the Brickshelf Gallery is not public yet. Does it go on public after some time or do I have to do something to make it public? I just registered at this site today so I'm a complete noob at this. Here are some pictures showing the more details of the model

Hi, I made some cool modifications to the 8263 Snow Groomer. My version is powered by 4 M-motors, has a simple suspension and on top of that, I made it modular. The smoothing plate at the back side can be replaced with other attachments like an excavator that is shown in the video below. The front blade is also modular although I currently have no other attachment at the moment. In the original mode, the model has 4 independent functions powered by the 4 M-motors: Motor 1 and 2: Left and right track Motor 3: Front blade raising/lowering and tilting Motor 4: Smoothing plate lowering/raising When the smoothing plate is replaced with the excavator attachment, the fourth motor will be connected to the outriggers and a switch-box (similar to the one in the 8043 Excavator) that switches the power of the motors to the rotation and the two independent sections of the excavator arm.

Very genius sollution. I'm just wondering if the "get into the centre and lead them away" is required on both sides. I think it would be sufficient and probably more efficient to do it only on one side. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here are 2 more pictures (sorry for the bad quality, but the uploading space here is quite limited...) The first picture shows it form above detached from the exhibition stand and the yellow missiles The second shows it from below exposing the missile launcher mechanics that uses the suspension parts from the original model:)

Thank you very much for your comment and for posting that picture.

Hello everybody, I'm an AFOL and I'm browsing this forum for a while without posting anything. But now I think I build something really cool that I want to present here. Its a Starcraft II Banshee than is build entirely from parts of the 8051 Motorbike Set Building it took me about 4 hours Of course, it wouldn't be a technic model without some function: - dual missile luncher that can both be triggered by the wheel on the top - cabin can be opened I've put a picture into the attachment:
