Bump Steer
VKTechnic replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
You sure it's perfect? -
Red monster truck
VKTechnic replied to dmitryq's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Correction: The suspension isn't independent, since the left wheels are dependent on the right ones (they are rigidly linked). Aside from that, nice model! I kinda agree with Rishab though, the bodywork could be smoother. -

You can buy them online, just search for Axial Ripsaw 1.9 tires. -

Exactly. -
[MT] Lexus LFA
VKTechnic replied to Doc_Brown's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Good start! I've been meaning to build an LFA of my own, but never got around to it. Glad someone's doing it I don't know how well this will work, but you might want to use a pulley wheel (part 4185) to mount the exhaust pipes. They will be much closer together then -
[WIP] 6x6 Offroad Truck

Finally got around to finishing the model! I won't be making a video for this as there are only 25 days until BrickCon, and I need to get working on my second model. (The Mustang is the model I'm already bringing.) Meanwhile, you can find more photos of the 6x6 here. -
These PF wires are always the perfect length! I always leave room for a receiver/battery box. I've never ever cut pneumatic tubing. My motorized models never have visible wires! I can totally make a 9-wide independent suspension with drive, steering, and accurate suspension geometry! I wish I had more System bricks... Someday, I'll make a model with all these rubber band holders...

[WIP] 6x6 Offroad Truck
VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The tires are Axial Ripsaw 1.9 tires. 109mm outer diameter. These tires are so sticky that I often find LEGO bricks stuck to them when I move the model from my desk. -
[WIP] 6x6 Offroad Truck

Progress is slow, but it's there. Only a few days left until school starts again, and a little over a month until BrickCon (and I still have to make a model for that). Meanwhile, the cab is coming along nicely. There won't be an interior because of the gearbox and electronics (5 motors, 2 switches, 2 receivers, and 2 gearboxes, plus 3 pairs of lights). However, all four doors open, and so does the hood. Also, you can see the maximum steering lock in this picture. -

Yes, the rear axle is steered. Nope, both LA's are manually controlled. The winch, however, is motorized. -
[MOC] 1968 Ford Mustang
VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I have made a few changes: There is no $100 goal: as soon as you donate, you will receive the LDD file. I'm lowering the "price" of the LDD file to $1.00. The reason I had it at $5.00 earlier was to keep track of donors (GoFundMe's minimum donation amount for a "Reward Level" is $5.00). I will also be making a small PDF document with some tips for building the model. For example, there are a few parts missing from the model, as well as some temporary parts. The PDF will be e-mailed with the LDD file to those who donate. Thanks again for your thoughts. -
[WIP] 6x6 Offroad Truck

Finally a build update! The rear end is basically done, just a few minor details left. I rebuilt the rear chassis entirely, lowered the rear bed, added a rear bumper (with lights!), and installed the towing arm. I've also been doing occasional test drives, and it drives wonderfullly. Steering could use a little reinforcement though... -
[MOC] 1968 Ford Mustang
VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hey all! I've had a few requests for an LDD file/instructions for this model, so I went ahead and started a personal GoFundMe page. There, you can donate $5 (which will be used for LEGO-related purchases), and once $100 are donated, I will e-mail the LDD file to all who donated.If y'all are interested, head on over! -

After combining votes from my Facebook page, Flickr, and Eurobricks (oh, and my own vote, of course), the Rescue Arm is the final build. I've started working on the "deck" around it, and as you can tell, it's much too high. This calls for a chassis redesign... >.<
