  1. This is absolutely amazing, I love cranes (working on one right now), and this looks like a small version of 42009, great job.
  2. The pictures seem to be broken, but the model looks great, nice job!
  3. Thanks, and I do agree, it would have been better with proper suspension, I just couldn't figure out how to make it work, without having 2 big springs sticking up behind it.
  4. Not to mention the fact that it connects with a pinhole.
  5. I am also wondering why we have the default theme.
  6. Here's my latest MOC, a C model for the 4x4 Crawler (9398) set. Features: 4x4 drive achieved by 2 hard coupled L motors, with an overall 1:1 gear ratio 1 Servo motor for steering Pendular rear suspension* Easily remove the battery box by pulling the red pushpin on either white curved panel, pulling the smokestacks out, lifting the roof, pulling the two axle/lift assemblies keeping the BB from sliding around, and pull the BB out. Openable hood LDraw, and Stud.i files available here Notes: I have assembled this physically, didn't take any pictures though. The LDraw file is wonky in spots, such as the rear from the motors, back, and how I couldn't get the back axle tilted to connect the top rods, you should be able to fgure it out though. *not sprung, couldn't fit them on nicely, this this is made to go fast, not rock climb anyways
  7. This stuff has already been discussed in the 2018 discussion topic here, and each set actually has a specific topic: 42079 42080 42081 42082
  8. I'm owndering what's going to happen with SBrick, and BuWizz now, with Power Up! coming out, BuWizz has It's own market, but PU! is very close to an SBrick in capabilities, I guess we'll get a new BuWizz & SBrick, but will old PF & 3rd party RC components go up, or down in price is the question.
  9. Bricklink.com, your local Craigslist/Kijiji, local yard sales, and you might find a deal on eBay.
  10. Ended up ordering 9398 off Bricklink, now to wait for it to get here.
  11. Of the 3 sets I've bought, I've done as follows: Build set once. Add to general parts, and make an MOC with my new toy [parts].
  12. Finished sorting my LEGO Technic the other day, so I've started work on a buggy.

  13. I think it just took awhile for someone to change it, looks fine now on my phone/desktop.
  14. This post is from 1010 (8 years old), and the OP was last on Eurobricks last November, chances are they aren't around anymore.
  15. Wow, looks pretty cool, me likey! By the way, I think It's 42081, not 42071.
  16. I'll probably just get it off Bricklink, I just hope one closer to Canada becomes available, pretty much everything is in Europe.
  17. The thing is I already have one M & L motor, and 2 battery packs. What I need is some IR, a servo, and at least one other L, or an XL(s), not to mention suspension/lifted drivetrain (is that the correct phrase?) parts, so going by what everyone else is saying, I think I'll get the 9398.
  18. I just want some suggestions, and try to figure out something from there, and I thought the best place to ask about the best way/best place to get trial truck parts would be the spot where there are so many awesome truck designers.
  19. Hi, I want to make some RC trucks, but I need some suspension pieces, and motors, I was looking at buying 9398, but I'm not sure if it's the best choice, I own both the CLAAS, and MB-Arocs, and a large amount of most standard parts, I was thinking of buying just the PF, portal hubs, and those ball joint frames + their connectors, but it ended up being about $110 CAD, and at that point I may as well buy the whole set, I personally would like to get a Buwizz instead of the IR, but It's about $196 CAD, so It's almost as expensive as a 9398, and I've heard not so good things about SBrick's android compatibility. Thanks for your time.
  20. Welp, finished the crane truck, unfortunately, while it didn't look too bad, the functions did not work well, I'm debating on whether to upload the pics.

    My next MOC is going to be a Mindstorms NXT trial truck - after I *groans* organize my LEGO, wish me luck!

  21. Well, I made my first truck that didn't look too bad a a week ago, and since then I've been working on & off on a crane truck, I'm loving the parts I got from my CLASS, and the various gears, shifters, etc have really helped grow my collection, I'm also saving up for Agust, as the flagship looks like it could be pretty good, but even if it isn't all I thought it would be, I'll just buy another model, It's a win-win. :sweet:

  22. Found this via the mention on the other thread, wow, this looks awesome, very clean, and the colours look pretty nice too.
  23. Welp, following the advice earlier, I ordered the CLASS, should be here this coming Thursday, it's gonna make some cool MOCs... On-topic.. The crane looks interesting, I don't know what to think yet, unfortunately the photo has been taken down. There wasn't a photo, what would make you think that? P.S. Can I be vice-president of the S.H.A Maaboo35?
  24. Well, I only really want to get one set (my wallet does actually), so It's gonna be one, or the other.
