  1. Contrary to my earlier belief, it is very different from the 42022 chassis. I didn't realize how different yours and the 42022 were.
  2. I'm sorry, that's terrible. I'd be worried about the 8880, since it's got many rare pieces and is old. Best of luck fixing it.
  3. Done, and no. vs original: (in spoiler so the mods don't get mad I reposted it )
  4. Thanks, the BI are in 2 videos on his channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClByycBsjrGEUr-emIP84Nw Thanks, I saw that earlier.
  5. I just meant that 067 was a name or code name of something that it tows. I didn't mean it was for sure a combo model, sorry to bring back that idea. Original post edited.
  6. I remember Tiny Turbos, this topic proves they had lots of potential. The buggy is my favorite!
  7. Very cool, I like it. It seems a bit slow, so maybe you could gear it up?
  8. So, this is my, uh first MOC Review, here goes... Danil03's Technic Buggy MOC Review So to start, here is the original video of his MOC. Note it is tested mostly indoors, for later reference. Also note my version has minor changes based on the parts I have, but nothing that largely impacts it, except for changing the B-pillars form 2L connectors to 3L connectors. He released instructions shortly after I found this, so I knew I had to build it. I soon decided to turn it into a review as well. The build starts with front suspension: Then the middle: Engine and rear suspension: The chassis is completed: It is extremely strong and has barely any torsional flex. Beginning body: Totally completed: The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, apart from having to pause it every step, because it is a video. However sometimes you put a piece on and later it is on another spot, that connects to where it originally was, so that can be a bit confusing. There is a lot to be learned about chassis rigidity, however the suspension moves horizontally as well as vertically due to lots of slack. Suspension: Lots of travel but also moves horizontally, which is bad. When tested outdoors, the CV joints came out but we all know they do that, so I'm not blaming the model. But the top and bottom A-Arms can move away from each other because of the way they are attached, which is by a thin 5L liftarm with axle holes and frictionless axle pins. Drive: works well and fast despite gearing down. When outdoor testing the diffs (I believe it was the diffs) grinded and CV joints came out. Body: very cool styling, but uses a lot of connectors. I ran out so I had to borrow some from other sets. There are 3# connectors which are connected to axles at the back which I changed to these: I also changed the 2L connectors on the B-Pillars to 3L connectors. Offroad test: It didn't work well, but it was tough terrain and the battery was low, so it wasn't completely the model's fault. Power: 1 XL-Motor, 1 Servo Motor, 1 set of PF Lights, SBrick, Minizip cable for 9V battery. -FINAL VERDICT- A MOC that is easy to build, looks cool, works well, but not offroad. At the end of the day it is just a toy, so that is expected. Looks: 9/10 Performance: 8/10 Instructions: 9.5/10 Recommended? Yes, if you drive indoors.
  9. Yep. Here it is with another light, but it is too yellow now.
  10. Wait a minute, the sticker says "tow 067." what if that means it tows something called 067.
  11. This is getting me more excited about 2H! I hope it's a combo model. And it is likely, because we didn't learn about the '57 '61 and '63 combo until after they were released. So it wouldn't be like the 2H combo model was late.
  12. Just got a new camera, here are some pictures I took with it. First, the setup: Then the actual photo, straight from the camera, no edits. And some pictures just on a white counter.
  13. Since Technic supercars such as this one can be very large and heavy, they have to be geared down this way to get enough torque to move.
  14. Cool! All the features crammed into it make this a really awesome hotrod, great work!
  15. Each theme has to start with different numbers, so I think they just skipped around as they wished for each theme. And yes, 6-digit numbers would be a pain. Remember the good old days of 4-digits?
  16. No. Here's what I have to say about the B's after getting a chance to look at them again.... 42068: I like it, seems pretty simple, but the crane and boat are nice. 42069: A must buy for me, but mainly for the A model. B's got a nice little tracked thing, but I believe that most of the functionality would be in taking the crane off the trailer, and setting it up. 42070, A model is overpriced but I'm still getting it. The B is ugly. But wait. I think they might have been trying to make a Polar Research Explorer Vehicle with wheels, but didn't want to call it that so it wouldn't look like there were 2 snow vehicles. In that case it looks better. All wheel steering is good. Things I noticed: What is under the beam under the panel on the front of 42069 B? 42068 A has front and back wheel steering. It says it right there on the back of the box. Oh, and they all have (sigh) cranes on their A or B model.
  17. Welcome to EB! I like this a lot, especially the bed. Were you trying to make the roof like this Arocs?
  18. I'm happy about the black 3x13 curved panels. Also, notice the asterisk next to the price? The asterisk directs to a small text at the bottom. I was able to make out some of it and put it in Google Translate. It came out in English as "All prices in the catalog are recommanded price recommended to the trade in imperial fashion." So I guess it means that it is the recommended retail price. So the real question is if these are for sure the FINAL prices. I'm pretty sure they haven't changed since we first saw them, but they might still be preliminary. I hope...
  19. Thanks everyone! To show I took it apart for the parts list. There were a couple: Front end: ( @Lipko's Simple Supercar) Rear end: C-pillars: (These) Side: (the general side window shape on most new Lamborghinis)
  20. Great use of parts, and great concept. Thanks for sharing!
  21. That looks real fun to drive! I especially like the colors. And that steering looks interesting...
  22. I think all of this ( @TechnicRCRacer building a chassis, @Aventador2004 discussing hosting) is a bit premature, before we have all the rules set up. I think we should take it a bit slower, just one step at a time.
  23. Ok, so I don't do this often, but I am creating a new topic for a recently finished MOC: THE SINNER supercar. Small demo video: This picture describes all the features: This picture is to show that I took it apart to make a partslist: If you want to build it, I made free photo instructions. And Rebrickable, so you can see if you have the parts to build it: http://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-8330/offroadcreations/the-sinner-supercar/ Overall, this MOC was a long journey from a small idea, to a bad chassis, to a good chassis, and to a finished MOC. A HUGE thanks to everyone who forced convinced me to make this better. This would've been a failure without you! Tell me what you think of the final product.
  24. Get more and make an enormous BWE. Or just general Lego storage.
  25. So I was just about to start the photo instructions, and then I realized the gearbox is backward. I thought of it according to the driving rings. So when the changeover catch is near what would be the number 2, it is actually in gear 1, because the driving ring is near the 1. I don't plan on fixing this, since I will explain how to shift it in the video.
