GP-1 Superbike
Leonardo da Bricki replied to therealjustin's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Beautiful bike! That last photo is just amazing! -
Great performance, I live the simplicity of the design. I think a bit more flex in the suspension would be nice, but it is an awesome truck.
-
@eric87 If you search it on ebay, you can buy it from Europe, but I believe it will be officially released in July.
-
Looks like a good start, I think the new clear panels are a great fit for those lights. I will watch your project with great interest.
-
Crazy performance! I love the blue, it looks great. Is there any suspension, bogies, torsion bar?
-
Very cool build, I love the mix of styles and colors used in it. Are the figs custom-printed?
-
Excellent curves! It looks both organic and machine at the same time. Is the figure from Belville? Without the head?

[MOC] Sand Jeep
Leonardo da Bricki replied to Lejeansur's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It is not bad, but it would definitely benefit from increased ground clearance. Also, Jeeps tend to have live axles, as opposed to independent suspension, but yours appears to work well. One other thing, maybe try using some slightly bigger wheels, as the ones you have used are a bit small for the size of the Jeep. -
Wonderful rendition of this car! How sturdy is the rear spoiler?
-
Another excellent model, a very impressive build for just two days. What other tires (if any) will fit on the truck?
-
Wow! Incredible racer. It looks just like Madoca's Type-R. Can't wait to see the finished video.

Nice buggy. You should gear up the XL-motors at least 3:5 to get better performance. A couple tips for you for building live-axle suspension: 1. Move the attachment points of the shocks in front of the wheel in order to increase the travel. 2. Mount the shocks at an angle. This improves the travel drastically as it allows more flex in a shorter space. 3. Kinda obvious, use larger shocks, again, at an angle. Some examples: 1. by Madoca: Trophy Truck and Trial Truck 2. by JJ2: Crawler and Crawler V2 Hope this helps!

Really cool handgun, I love the lightsaber blades for the sight.

@Saberwing40k That sounds like a good contest for the end of the year! Though I think there should only be 2 classes, motorized (including RC) and manual. Also, if possible, those two classes should also be divided into Homage models and New models, making a total of four categories...

One of your best tanks yet! The transmission looks cool, thanks for putting this up on Rebrickable!
-
Looks really cool, but as you said, there is so much slack in the wheels, especially the rear ones...
-
Certainly a unique C-model! Cool idea, I like the miniature dump truck. Now watch as Sariel's next build is a hamster wheel...
-
Impressive record! To aid your filming abilities, perhaps find a partner-in-crime. And an empty parking lot works great...

[WIP] Peugeot 106
Leonardo da Bricki replied to syclone's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks pretty cool. How fast is it? The rear suspension almost looks like independent sprung suspension on a torsion bar.... I am not sure what to change, but maybe layer a couple angled plates above the lights, would that look better? -
Wow! That is amazing! Your parts use is incredible, I particularly like the use of the tread.
-
A Small Update: More will come later, but for now, I have updated the LDD file.
-
I didn't think it was possible to jam so many features and functions into one model... Excellent hot rod! Only things I would change is maybe make the tailgate orange, and continue the black line on the rear bumper, just to match better and look more smooth.
-
Today's Update! I have started the supercar bodywork, and it is coming along pretty good. So far, it is just a frame to figure out the size and shaping, but I figured out how to make the doors, I will use one of the Bionicle joints to make it open in this scale. For the blue streak, I have the small panel, and I will probably add some 3mm or pneumatic tubing to finish it. Photos will come tomorrow, I don't have a good light currently. Not to mention my camera battery is dead. @I_Igor You are welcome to mod my monster truck in any way, feel free to post the changes here, or you can PM me whatever changes you make, if you want to share them. I will happily brainstorm over the weekend on this issue, but that may fit better in the Axle Collection Thread than in this topic for the moment.
-
At this point, I don't plan on changing the axle design any more, it is still fun to drive, you just have to correct it once in a while... I am just gonna focus on the bodies for now.
-
Today's update: 1. I have modified the axles so that there is a single tie rod now, which reduced some of the slack. I changed the rubber bands position to help with the remaining slack, but there is not much of a noticeable affect; the model still curves one way or the other while driving... Therefore, I will be removing them shortly... I don't know what else to do to reduce the slack (there is a LOT) because it results from needing to have the steering geared down... Any advice? 2. I will update the LDD file tomorrow. 3. I have started the supercar body, but I will need to place at least one Bricklink order, so I will probably switch over to the truck-style body for the time being... Photos: WIP MT axle f Sorry, not the best photo, but you can see the changes to the steering rod, as well as the front rubber band. WIP MT axle r Here you can see the second rubber band, which exerts the same amount of force, holding the axle in a centered position... When not driving and without wheels... Please give any advice, comments, criticism, etc. you want to. Thanks for looking! - Leonardo da Bricki
