Never built one myself, but I guess it is for the realism more than anything, I mean, those things will never not go on a more or less flat surface, where it is pointless to need it. Other than that, it could just be one of those challenges for the builder to incorporate.

Those are some really awesome creations, wish I could have done that in my first year back from my dark(ish) ages. Although you are probably older and more experienced than me to start with I hope the next year is as good, if not better, as this year has been! :thumbup:

But Sicil used 2 M motors for drive, and as 9398 comes with only one L motor (I think, don't own it yet myself. On the wish list though ), that would pose a problem, and then there would be a need to get another L motor. Probably not as convenient as using what you already have. Correct me if I'm wrong though. And it depends how much you want to stick to the original design as well I suppose...

Looks pretty awesome, I like that it is small, compact and fast, quite a speedy little thing, and as David seems to have pointed out, it does somewhat resemble a Range Rover. Good job

Congratulations! I've followed many of your creations, and which many I have been inspired by. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to your official sets!

Yes, it is rather frustrating, but to be perfectly honest here, why spend money on it when I can dual boot my computer to get it to work without having to spend anything extra. And its probably quicker as well, than waiting for parts orders to come through. I'm thinking now I'm just going to dual boot with either XP 32bit, or Linux (probably Ubuntu) to get around this problem. I'm slightly leaning towards Linux, its slightly easier and quicker to install, and can be useful. Only problem here is that I'd have to build Bricxcc from source to get it to work. A job I don't particularly fancy doing, even as a bit of a programmer as well. Thanks a lot for all you help. Hell, maybe even if I get it working some day, I might make a guide here for anyone else that comes into these damn problems. I wish I could find a useful one all in one place.

Yes, I had seen that, but it didn't really help me much. I can't get anything to work, and I'm really going to have to seriously think about switching to a Linux dual boot system in order to get it to work. I am either seriously missing something here, or that there is absolutely no way at all to get an RCX to work with Windows 7 64bit, even without the IR tower? This is starting to get really frustrating

Looked through there, some very interesting things to build there! Thanks! Yes, I was looking into that, although I am running Windows 7 64bit, and cannot get anything to work at the moment. Got the programs, can't connect the RCX bricks. I only seem to have USB towers, and of course, they only work with 32bit Windows 7. Is there any other way to get them to work, or am I going to have to investigate using Linux? If I do, I might have to go and set up dual boot for my computer. Not fun I am finding surprises though, found a "sound siren" in the box, never knew these existed. Google holds all answers though and now some lights! Glad I found this lot Still seeing if I've got the temperature sensor anywhere...

Thanks for that, looks very useful. I got some images of what I got, sorry if they come out blurry. I was also slightly disappointed that the 9701 didn't come with the control panel, or whatever it is.

I recently managed to get hold of a couple of old RCX bricks, and some older stuff as well. It looks as if it is bits and bobs of the sets 9725, 9794 and 9701. I don't think its all there, but a quite considerable lot is. Unfortunately, It didn't come with much of the original documentation, and no software CDs for the RCX. I currently run Windows 7 64bit, and have no idea whether it is compatible anymore. Is it still possible to use it, or does anyone have any experience with this? Also, I was thinking of using NQC with it, but it isn't very clear as how to get it up an running. Anyone know anything about this either? Bascially, I don't know really what I have got hold of here, I only have experience with NXTs, so just need a little help with getting it up and running, and what I can do with it. Just a few pointers. Sorry if it's unclear. Thanks, ~Azz Also, I may be able to get pictures of what I've got later, I'm trying to organise it at the moment. It's a mess

Is it me, or does the bit to the left of the red bush look like it is attached to the hub? Hmm In general, this set is getting better by the day (or should I say picture )

Looking at the entries, I have spotted two that I think are copied. - The Remote Controlled Backhoe loader - 'By' Luc98lt. Isn't that Jurgen Krooshoop's? See here: My link - The Car Transporter - 'By' 9Volt-boy. Isn't this techno-moves'? See here: My link This also happened in the last Challenge didn't it? Shame people can't come up with their own thing, so copy just to try and get a free lego set. It saddens me Do you agree with me that they are copied? Also, how do I go about reporting it, or would someone else kindly do it for me?

Wow, that would be mighty, have fun making that! Well, when I get one I'll take a look at it, might need some modifications though, lots of fun .

I was thinking that maybe I could mod the 8053 (When I get one ) to use this method for full RC.

What about for a mobile crane? One for the raising of the boom, another for extending it, and the last one for the winch?

There are instructions for this, but I think you had to buy them. I think it was like £12.50 or something

Thanks for the help, but I managed to fix it (Hooray!) I fixed it by installing a later version of LDView instead of the one from the LDraw package and changed the preferences in LPub accordingly, and it started working from there. Odd if you ask me. There was nothing wrong with the previous LDView, it worked... Thanks for all your help though, it is much appreciated.

Thanks for the welcome everybody! It's nice to be a part of such a lovely community.

Very nice MOC there! Looks quite nice to me, and is there some bits from the 8043 and 8275 in there? Great job!

Hi there all! I have been reading EB a lot recently, and finally decided to sign up. I have seen loads of great things here, and hope to see lots more from those great MOCers here. My interest is in the Technic theme, and I have quite a few sets, and hope to pick up more. (Don't we all? ) Hope to see you around!

I think you may be thinking of Basebrick, am I right? I think it can compare parts listings to your inventory, but have not tried to (or know how to) do so yet. Hope this helps

Hi! I have recently started using computer building tools, and downloaded MLCAD and LPub (and other bits and bobs that came with the package). Unfortunately, I can't get LPub to make instructions even for the sample models, and end up just with a mess like this: Am I missing something? Have I done something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
