There are many chassis of other authors that were used on previous events. You can build and ask, of course, but I can't guarantee that anybody will decide to use your chassis:) I will share it, of course.

Hello, everyone! I'm proud to invite Eurobricks members to Jeep-trial competition, that will be held in Moscow at November 12-13 by Lego Technic Russia community (https://vk.com/technic_club). If you are ready to visit Moscow those days, we are waiting for you! Build the offroader, run it through obstacles as fast and accurate as you can and win Lego Technic sets! Also it is wonderful possibility to meet Russian Eurobricks members (RM8, desert752, filsawgood - they are main organizers of the event) and many other talented builders from all over the Russia and another countries. Of course, we will help you to set accommodation in Moscow and we will do our best to make sure you are enjoying visiting Moscow and participating in competition. Please, contact me as soon as possible in PM or post in this topic if you are going to come to Moscow and participate. I've chosen this forum to post, because it seems to me that here it is more likely to catch as many Technic builders as it possible. Specially for Eurobricks forum I have translated rules of competition into English from Russian. My native language is Russian so mistakes are possible. Please, feel free to ask any question if something is not clear to you. Theme of competition is Jeep-trial. You need to build an offroader and drive it through number of obstacles as faster as you can with minimum penalty scores. Competition will be held in two categories: TROPHY and TRIAL. TPOPHY offroader should have open differentials. TRIAL offroader might not have differentials at all. General rules: Your model should be AWD offroader built in Lego Technic style. Trucks are not allowed. Only cars, buggies, pickups and vehicles that are based on these. Suspension is obligatory. Tanks and other vehicles that is not a car in an original form are not allowed. Appearance, type of body, colour, tuning is chosen at your discretion. You can use models that were built and published by you before or you can use suitable chassis and elements of chassis designer by other authors. In a case you use other author’s chassis completely, you should mention author of chassis in the entry. IMPORTANT: Bodywork of your model should be exclusively your design, copying the bodywork of other authors is prohibited. Electrics and remote control are obligatory. No more than 1 XL-motor or 2 L-motor or 3 M-motor can be used for propulsion. SBricks are allowed. Only original Lego battery blocks are allowed. RC-block and buggy-motors are prohibited. Mechanism and configuration of steering are not regulated. Tank steering is prohibited. Only steering knuckles like in real autos.

Width is calculated between the points of rims’ connection to the axle. Width of standard wheel hub is calculated as 2.5 stud, width of portal wheel hub – 4.5 stud. Offroader should have tow hitch. Tow hitch should be made using one of these part: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=1368 or http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=204.

Photos and description of entry should be posted in special topic (https://vk.com/topic-40661157_36038696) or in this topic with copying the entry in PM to me. Every entry should be consisted of: Name, surname of participant. Age. Name of offroader. Category of offroader. Description of offroader, including description of additional functions (if they exist). No more than 10 photos of offroader can be attached. Also in another day, before or after the main competition, we will have some fun races on small models. Rules of races are simple: only one L-motor for propulsion with M-motor or Servo for steering and wheel diameter should be between 30mm and 43mm. I will post detailed rules of race after they are approved by organizers.

I'm using cheap Android tablet (4good t704m) with Istvan Murvai's app with OTG cable and Logitech Dual Action gamepad. There are two button on gamepad that do not work, but in everything else it works very good and the app doesn't disconnect as official app do.

Do they really sell ability to use engine? I registered, browsed the site and haven't found any functions that requires to be paid.

It seems like it is Russian copy of Rebrickable that is aimed for children and parents. I know Russian as my native language and this site is really user-friendly for someone who doesn't know English at all. So, I don't consider it as a theft but I consider it as a good translation of Rebrickable into Russian.

This part 6571 can be used in some applications besides the steering. But it isn't cheap:(

Thank you for your response! Is there any type of data that I can provide to you to make the process of debugging faster? :) UPD: Problem solved! My friend (Silenwin) downgraded my SBrick's firmware down to 11 version (it was 12 before) via his Samsung Galaxy Note and SBrick Simple Control app. Now the app can detect my SBrick:) May be the problem was because I used and updated my SBrick with iPhone. If someone will have the same problem I recommend to do the same thing. I will receive my Defender Omega and OTG cable tomorrow, really happy now:)

Hello Imurvai! I have installed your application on cheap android tablet (4Good T704m 3G, Android 4.4.2) and it can't find my SBrick:( When I press "Scan" button it shows the progress bar that disappear after reaching the 100%. When I press the "Scan" button again it shows "Could not start scanning for SBricks". I tried reinstalling the app and restarting the tablet, but that doesn't work. My SBrick worked well with your app on friend's phone, don't know what the problem could be. I have tried with the official app and SBrick Simple Control and both of them work with my SBrick. Any help would be appreciated:)

It would be awesome if Mindstorms servomotor will be supported by SBrick+. Medium servomotor from EV3 set is perfect for steering, because you can adjust angle of motor rotation.

Nice work! I still don't have pneumatic parts on my hands and you have finished the chassis already. It is going to be very cute and lovely Unimog:)

I have the same question. My project's pneumatic will cost about 80USD:(

Can I use 5292 motor? It is not PF at all.

I love it! I really like small RC vehicles like this and Mahj's loader. Thank you for the LDD! I'll try to organize a race on those lovely things.

So, I don't see a problem connecting an axle to second turntable having the same gear ratio:)

Do you have second small turntable?

Nice truck! I like your solutions:) Do you mind making LDD?

Thank you! I have already built the most robust connection as it seems to be possible, but I was wondering whether there are other parts than can be useful. I'm making some small portal axles, but gears without reinforcement from the both sides are slipping under very heavy load. However, it is still can be useful. Yes, that is variant too, thanks. But, as I have said, I was wondering whether there are another parts with half-stud offset. I'm thinking of using studded brick to reinforce the portal.

I am trying to find some small parts with half-stud offset like this Technic cam. It will be perfect if there is the part with 2.5 studs between pinholes. Anybody knows?:)

Yaahoooo! Congratulations! Make it up to 75k ;)

No gamepad support for iOS?:( However, my heart is beating happily as the goal is being reached. Yeee!

Hand pump and small pump for PF.

Two pumps, yeeee!

Looking forward to build large Formula-1 with ludicrous speed! However, it's seems like there's bad tendency with backing on Kickstarter. There is comment that suggests good ideas to reach the goal. I hope you will consider it.

Nice! Looking forward for instructions. It seems like I will use twin-beam steering system in my MOC:)
