The Vooduist

Hey y'all, First time I'm gonna try to do a WIP page... Been fiddling around with this Kraz 255b MOC by the one and only Ingmar Spijkhoven and figured out what attachment I'll build finally. In short, it's a mini portable bridge (called a TMM-3 or a scissor bridge). Functions of this add on attachment consist of- Actuator for raising and lowering the bridge Winch for deploying and retracting the bridge 2 stabilizers at the end of the truck to... stabilize the truck Propulsion has been swapped from 2 L motors on the sides to 1 one buggy motor under the hood. Now the replica engine can be put on display. The gearbox I really wanted to try part 35188 to make all the functions AND propulsion run on the one motor. Where I guess we can call the "transfer case" is at is right behind the cab, so here's what the result is for now. It was tricky since the tandem axle left no room for fit it in between the chassis rails. The rear shaft will actually hit the bottom of this when compressed all the way. It's as compact as could get it with Studio (kinda a LDD fan). It'll probably need to be reinforced even more, but wanna see how it mates with the buggy motor first. Never built a gearbox before and destroyed many other MOC's with gearboxes so don't have high hopes. Note- all of the motorized attachments will be ran with worm gears, so not to concerned with the gear ratios... buggy motor just gonna make everything super fast anyways with a Buwizz. Where buggy motor is planning to be in the future a bit more securely. Just seeing how a gearbox could be placed and how high it'll be. Part 87408 is now mounted securely below the motor with two 24t gears feeding it above (will get a shot of it soon). Getting the motor to fit underneath the hood was very miserable. Couldn't use a servo anymore since the buggy motor is so low it'll interrupt the travel of the front axle. (yes the fenders are mounted backwards when rebuilt...) Ordered the parts for the gearbox and will update once they come in. Planned order of the build- Gearbox Wheels Test drive Stabilizers Building the frame/chassis of the TMM winch Scissor bridge Survive the misery

Hi everyone, Am seeking advice for wrapping up the last little details of this Hummer H3T body for JJ2's extreme 9398 chassis I never really finished up completely. Mostly the rack and the soon to be OEM styled storage bins, as trying to scale something in Lego's to look realistic can look worser than expected. Also wondering if anyone ever try 3D printing a 8 tooth gear as they always break (mostly from a Buwizz V1) in metal or for the others who've built the chassis if they've had other cost effective solutions/mods. The chassis is awesome, and is so much fun to test its limits, but like most powerful Lego crawlers, the torque is getting lost through the lack of stiffness and # of gears needed to make it functional as is. Mostly used in thick mud bogging, and in a little stream (sooo much fun) Anyways, the new additions are... 1. Functional tail gate 2. Properly secured to the chassis (no, the body doesn't come off like the original 9398) 3. The multi purpose safari styled roof rack 4. Able to squeeze in 120mm tires without as much fender rubbing 5. putting an actual bed in the truck Maybe do a comparison video between this the original and the original with xl motors? Sorry if the pic is to small, will put more pics up soon, here's a link- https://www.bricksafe.com/pages/Voodu/h3t-9398-extreme-cover-/h3t-safari-edition- Thanks for your time everyone, Vootu Edit- posted in the wrong topic, still trying to figure work this website

Hope that I can wrap up my project by tomorrow. I'm trying to add a wacky function and that's all I need. Good luck everyone!

Congrats to the winners! This was a fun and unique competition that I enjoyed a lot. Thanks Jim and Milan for making every detail pop! As this was my first entry into a competition, I was surprised to get 1 vote (so what I got a little self doubt). I wish I didn't build my first model too tall, I was able to go with my other idea but in 2 days that was intense! Well once again congrats the winners and cant wait to see what the next technic competition is!

I choose these bots due to technics, main attack, and durability mostly. 3:10 10: 6 23: 4 31: 3 30: 2 15: 1 Good look you all!

Ok the discussion back but where it says "size" in that sentence that's were "word" is randomly placed. Unless that fixes to.....

Hello everybody does anyone know why my entry is all jacked up? It was perfect this morning and is now all jacked up. Like the discussion is now a movie and there's just "word" randomly typed in l the sentence where I was explaining the main weapon. @Milan think you can help me plz?
