Micro Crawler
VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The top on the Bronco comes off, and the rear hatch opens: And the gray BOSS has a folding body similar to the original: -

If switches count as extension cables, then yes. My cables are all used up on my GT-R. -

Finishing up the project. Got 3 bodies built (Yellow BOSS from before and two new ones...). Filmed the video already, now going through editing. Body #2: Gray BOSS Body #3: Bronco-inspired truck. -
Saw this in person at BrickCon 2012! Very simple but clever design!

I'm going to make another body for it that can be swapped with the BOSS. -

Experimented with some photo editing, so here's another teaser. -
Bought some of these tires, and been working on a mini BOSS to go along with them .

Probably just you. Try this. -

Honey I shrunk my BOSS! (and painted it yellow) -

Indeed I have. They block the steering though, so I had to make them removable. Will post details on the GT-R thread later today. -

I think the chassis is a little too long for a BOSS, but I might give it a shot! Hmm...maybe interchangeable bodies is a good idea... -
I recently got myself 4 of these tires, so I figured that it was time to try my hand at a small rock crawler. I decided that it would be drive-by-wire (no battery on board) so that I could build to the scale of the tires. Of course, there's no build without some failure, so here's the first prototype, which failed because of slipping steering pulleys. This issue was fixed in the next prototype by removing the belt altogether, but it had another issue -- not enough front axle clearance. I also didn't particularly like the way the rear links were set up, nor did I like the way the L-Motor was sitting. Third time's a charm, or so the saying goes. This time, I went to a lateral MOA (Motor On Axle) setup, and I moved the steering rack up 2 studs. This allowed me to still have a supported steering rack without it being too low to the ground. Now the question I am here to ask of you all is...what should the body be for this crawler? (Or should I leave it as a bare chassis?)

1/9 Scale Nissan GT-R R35
VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I will make a video in a few days when my family returns from camping and brings the camcorder. The front lights are non-existent because of the steering lock (no mounting points for them) -
This was my project for the 3rd anniversary of my Facebook page. It features dual A-arm front suspension, rear multilink suspension, AWD with three differentials, 3+R gearbox with one-direction freewheel and clutch, and pneumatically adjustable suspension. All functions are remote-controlled. More pictures are available in this Flickr set. WIP pictures on my Facebook page. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Nissan GT-R WIP
VKTechnic replied to VKTechnic's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The wheels are the same as on the 42000 Grand Prix Racer. I do not own the 42000, but I got the parts off of everyone's favorite, Bricklink. -

It only touches the bodywork when the model is at rest. When the model's driving, the wheel is pulled back a little (because of Lego part looseness) and it doesn't touch the body at all. -

No it does not. The entire bodywork is solid. I'm 140% sure -
