  1. I wouldn't go below three motors overall - it's the sweet spot for a highly complex but efficient and reliable RC gearbox that can handle plenty of functions, including drive & steering.
  2. Jaw-droppingly mind-boggling. Easily up there with the very, very best Lego supercars & hypercars ever designed.
  3. I knew I was in for a treat even before opening the thread You've absolutely nailed the shape. Great choice of colours, too.
  4. Looks great so far! Is there any way you could mod the axle to use the new reinforced CV joints instead of torque tubes & U-joints?
  5. Superbly executed both in looks and functions Call me a sentimental old fart but I always beam when I see the old 24-tooth crown gear.
  6. Well, that was a bit extreme (all credit goes to Alexandre Rossier).
  7. The Mack Anthem and the Land Rover beg to disagree. As for the rest, I'd much rather pay double top dollar for Sheo's model than regular top dollar for TLG's because, unlike the former, the latter has bugger all in terms of interesting and/or innovative building techniques. But hey, to each his own
  8. All the evidence you need is in Sheo's thread. He packed way more detail and intricacy into a considerably smaller package and without the benefit of parts such as planetary hubs and flip-flop beams, neither of which was available back then.
  9. Sheo's model is light-years ahead of TLG's, both technically and aesthetically.
  10. This is the type of model I love Mid-scale, as few motors as possible while packing a ton of functions, and good looks to boot.
  11. That's pretty impressive as a B model - well, C model in your case since you already designed a B model And thanks for sharing the instructions
  12. Nice suspension mod on paper but in practice it's supported by a one-beam-thick structure, which is wisible.
  13. While not strictly related to 42070 but rather an extension of the set's underlying idea, you can easily build an efficient RC gearbox without Control+ or any other app. 8043 would be the most basic example, or this for something a li'l more complex.
  14. The (minor) problem with that approach is that you'd have Ackermann even in crab mode. This part here should do the trick:
  15. That's an amazing piece of engineering you've crafted. And thanks for sharing the ldr!
  16. Oh wow, this is just next-level awesome
  17. You can use Brick Controller 2.
  18. I guess it's worth remembering Sheo's masterpiece: smaller, more detailed and technically more advanced.
  19. Since 42070 just came up, I guess another irksome detail worth mentioning is false advertising. 42070 was advertised as a tow truck - but it's not a tow truck. Oh, and it was overpriced
