    How do you do that 3d gif that shows the moc spinning?

    Don't know where to post this but i just ordered a buwizz and i'm so happy! I'm just your normal average joe and not a very serious lego professional but just a hobbyist struggling on a budget. So it's a big deal for me..

    Update: Now with two springs with lots of preload. The suspension is now stiffer but still giving once the preload is gone. (only 1 stud of travel) But this allowed me to add mudguards and lower the cab by one stud. Here is a comparison of old vs new: The cabin looks higher cause the bumper is flipped upside down.. I need to modify the bumper a bit so it fits more fluidly. I could use this piece: But the bumper would be one stud more in the front.. I need to experiment.. But overall, i like the latter one because i don't have to worry scraping the tyres on the cabin.. Even if i threw away 1,5 studs of suspension travel.

    I could trade the long suspension travel into only a 1,5 stud travel but way stiffer suspension. There's the question.. Do i want something that sags but corners well, or do i want something that doesn't sag but has great ground clearance and a stiff suspension which is great of bumps and jumps.. The thing is.. Why not both? I can have detachable stiffening springs.

    There is 2,5 studs of room and the front wheels are not driven in an RWD model. But i have great steering radius. Almost drifting range. And the front suspension is very soft and bouncy. EDIT: Because the cab is heavy, the front end is kinda sagging.. I might make a last ditch effort to add second springs on top.. But without the cabin, there is 2,5 studs of room under the front axle. With the cabin, only 1 stud.

    I don't completely understand what you mean? There is technically a 3 stud sized gap for a winch which could be powered by an M motor.. And a hole in the bumper for a winch. Also when the suspension is completely compressed, the tyre will barely have clearance on the beam. Like half a stud. And that's only because i put those angled beams as stoppers there on the middle. Btw i'm thinking about ordering buwizz simply because it has an battery with the sending unit module.. With an S brick, i'd still need to attach that heavy battery box somewhere and change AA batteries constantly...

    I have made a cool bumper utilizing these parts: It's quite robust and directly connected to the frame. Pics once i figure out if i want a tilting cab or not..

    Oh i see.. It's a modified version with a bar going trough? I would have added a bushing in that center to reinforce it even more.

    Mocpages is down.. I think the site got removed completely. Nowadays if you try to go there, it will just open a blank page that says ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

    Cabin done. There's a back wall, floor, steering wheel and instrument cluster.. I need a normal system lego 2x12 plate so i have a solid piece where to attach the technic figures legs.. Also there is room behind the seat for stuff. Now i can start figuring out a front bumper and how to attach this beast to the chassis.

    Okay here is an update on a project i'm working on.. It's going to be an RWD truck with good suspension for rough terrain and maybe even jumps.. I need to figure out the front end skid plate thing and a proper bumper with lights on it. After that, a floor for the cab and interior.. I'm thinking if i should have a big turntable after the front axle and connect that to the rear so i can get good suspension travel.. I will also make a truck bed on top of the rear axle. Any tips or pointers? (The truck cabin is high because of suspension travel. It still touches the gray beam when at max. I'll probably limit the travel.. ) Should i make the cabin tilt sideways or forwards? Maybe even both ways?

    TLG used to have a policy that if you have a receipt from any store, they would send you a new part for free if one part was missing or damaged. Their whole motto was to give people only the best quality.

    Lego has gone downhill..
  16. Mechbuilds
    Awesome! I like the color scheme!

    Anto's mocs are always insanely packed with functions and very compact.. TLG should hire him in to the design team or at least take notes.

    Was it on normal use or were you pushing out insane torque with multiple XL motors?

  20. Mechbuilds
    That's insane. Are you planning on instructions?
  21. Mechbuilds
    But honestly this thread turned into a shitshow.
  22. Mechbuilds
    Exactly the point.
  23. Mechbuilds
    I try my best

    Why isn't technic lego made out of metal in the first place. It would make sense. Think about it.

    You can also try ordering from Brickowl. Also helpful links: Lego unit converter Wheels chart Model scaler Gear ratio calculator You can thank @Sariel for these links! There is also LDD "Lego Digital Designer". A program which makes 3d lego models. You can use this program to test out your build before actually ordering parts or making it in real life.
