    Looks pretty nice, its a good start. Is there room for the tubing in small model?
  2. Leonardo da Bricki
    Terrific Y-wing! The part use is just mind-blowing!
  3. Leonardo da Bricki
    MUCH better than the Lego one! It is a great representation, and its smooth, sleek and accurate.

    It is rather fast, more than my other builds. You may certainly reverse engineer it, I'll provide detailed photos later today if possible. Thank you! Yes, it is necessary to hard-couple the L-motors to generate enough torque to drive the model at high speed. You commented on this!!! That means a lot to me, I was inspired by your buggy! Yes, I will post more photos, and possibly a video later today. There is more than enough space for buggy motors once the L-Motors are removed. If you mod my buggy, I would love to see the improved performance!

    That is simply incredible. Wonderful display, the accuracy is just awesome!

    I finally got around to photographing one of my models, and figured I should finally post it. It has been raining for several days, and is forecast to do so for the next few days, so no videos yet. It was a model made to improve my skills from the last two I made, and it is definitely an improvement from before. Its fast, but if it isn't on a smooth surface it won't drive well (or at all) because it doesn't have enough torque. Class One Unlimited Buggy: Drive: 2 L-motors geared up 3:1 Steering: Servo motor Suspension: full independent, front: double wishbone, rear: not sure, trailing arm? Anyway, enough stats, I'll let the photos speak for themselves... IMG_3198 by Valerie, on Flickr IMG_3199 by Valerie, on Flickr Soft, long travel suspension. A little too much so, it sometimes scrapes the ground when fully depressed. IMG_3208 by Valerie, on Flickr IMG_3206 by Valerie, on Flickr The required underside shot.

    Depending on whether or not you want a gearbox with multiple speeds, the drivetrain will be different: Yes, there is a gearbox. If this is the case, then you will have either one or both xl-motors powering the gearbox input. If there are more than 4 speeds that are gearing UP, use both motors to ensure that there will be enough torque to drive the car at high speeds. Otherwise, one xl-motor should be sufficient. No, there is not a gearbox. In this case, where speed is wanted, gear up the xl-motors and have them directly powering the driveshaft, one of them on each side. For good speed, start with 3:1 gear ratio (24 tooth driving 8 tooth). If that isn't fast enough, and your car is light enough, try a 5:1 ratio (40 tooth driving 8 tooth). But be warned, high speed + friction can lead to part damage. In any case, you will need one receiver per xl-motor to have each powered fully. Then, you can use one M-motor for steering, and one M-motor for changing gears, if you do have a gearbox. A good gearbox with a built-in switching mechanism is Sariel's. You can also check out his book, which goes into great detail on just about everything. I hope this helps. Good luck building!

    The M-motors can be powered with one receiver because they require less power together than the v1 receiver can provide, so you only need one receiver. If you used L-motors for greater speed, then you would need 2 v1 receivers or 1 v2 receiver to get full power.

    I don't know of any Technic Nascars on EuroBricks, but try searching Flickr or YouTube. Otherwise, you will be the first!

    Impressive tank destroyer. The guns are just awesome, excellent job!
  11. Leonardo da Bricki
    Pretty good, but I think the receivers should be in the cabin, with the battery box on the back. Why did you use two receivers anyway? The pics are good.
  12. Leonardo da Bricki
    Welcome to Eurobricks! That is a great introduction. Very nice job, the arm is incredible!
  13. Leonardo da Bricki
    I don't know for sure, but you can check the axle collection thread. Otherwise, I cannot help you at the moment. Best of luck to you!
  14. Leonardo da Bricki
    Very nice! It looks much more spherical now, like in the movies.
  15. Leonardo da Bricki
    You modeled most of the plane pretty well, but you need to round out the cockpit portion a bit more, add at least two arching flex axles or u-joints with axles to mimic the shape of the curving cockpit from the top of the plane down to the nose. Also, can you post a video or at least some pics of what the functions do?
  16. Leonardo da Bricki
    That is cool, I must mod mine. What length are the light grey hoses on the back?
  17. Leonardo da Bricki
    Wow. That looks awesome. Did you chrome a Chima mask on the engine? The silver stickers are very well done!
  18. Leonardo da Bricki
    Wow! I love that roof! I will have to use your idea for something soon... Very nice tower. The banner has become your trademark element.
  19. Leonardo da Bricki
    Awesome gate, it is really complimented by your great photography!
  20. Leonardo da Bricki
    That is awesome! Thanks for the LDD file!
  21. Leonardo da Bricki
    Pretty nice truck, but the front is too big. Nice performance though.
  22. Leonardo da Bricki
    I agree, that looks awesome. Is there any difference in the performance?
  23. Leonardo da Bricki
    INCREDIBLE! That is one beautiful ship! Wonderful job Edwin.
  24. Leonardo da Bricki
    Those are cool! IMO, the one with C3PO and R2 is the best.
  25. Leonardo da Bricki
    Wow! That is an impressive build! So many functions, that is awesome! It requires one heck of a remote for that beast! Thanks for making instructions, I can't wait to see them.
