Here is a pic of the front axles

sorry for the nite video .. i was excited with the performance and wanted to recorded asap!! yes it does steer but I mounted the m motor for steering under the chassis and it wasn't a good idea . once I run over a garden hose its over!!! Need to find a better mount for the steering motor.. I have a few ideas!! i also re done the chassis and its almost there !!! The battery pack needs to lay flat in the bed.. if any higher, the model would be top heavy and it would just fall to the side if I did a turn!! by the way there are just alleys cats that lives in my yard!~! !! and hopefully this will be my fix for the m motor!!

Here is a quick preview on the performance of the 2 x Lego PF Large motor !! Using a ratio output of 1.46 vs the 2.38 Lego's default on the 42075 I It's really fast and there is more room for improvements.. .. I found this link from a Lego user name nico71.. It has a few options of motors and gears to get a final output of varies of values including top speed !! you got to try it!! http://www.nico71.fr/otherpages/ttools.html and here is the quick review

Update on sirslayer lego 2 x large motor 42075 Rally truck. The suspension is a easy adaptation from the Lego set 8261 Rally truck and its very east to be modified on the default front non suspension from your 42075 first responder . Just make sure you have knob gears and the instructions of the Lego set 8261. The default 42075 steering shaft becomes the mounting point and the pendular suspension off the same steering shaft. . It is kinda interesting that the 42075 can blend into the 8261 Rally truck and get a well fictional off road delight.. !! I have re done the front drive shaft and now it is straight and smooth spinning. The default blue pin connector , the only new part this set has from the rest needed to be removed due to its pushing the Lego large motor. Here is an after pictures and just pat me on my back!! I added bigger doors and I keep my WiFi-IR receiver on a long pole so I can have better coverage with the remote .

@I_Igor I was thinking of doing a technic version of this .. My mother in law (she past away last year) made this and its part of her black foot American Indian culture.. I was impress with her gift and I designed my kitchen floor to accommodate it

And my Lego 42075's have true geometry ackermann steering and frame .. Also I built a frame for the rear end and it works very good!!!

@I_Igor sorry for a late reply!! Work been kicking my butt!! This may be a bit silly but it will work !!! if you have the room on your model .. This way of making your own 11 x 5 frame you need to use a cross member to hold it together but it does work!! And when I think of the Mojave desert I imagine this These are the latest project i'm working on , Lego 42075 to the max!!! Dual 2 x large motors, front suspension and it barely hangs together when operating in RC mode due to the high torque of the dual 2 x large motors!!

Then if that where the frame slides out from its mold it also allows you to slip a gear in the same slot. Differential's with the 3 bevel gears also have the same grooves so you can slide the gears n or out with ease . Does the differences if the grooves were facing up vs face down on a wheel axles would make a difference .. ??? Hummmmm.. When is my next day off?? Got to have the red Lego collect them all sticker!!! You can get these stickers when you order from Lego.com shopping website .. Here in California, The Lego website seems to be a lot cheaper to purchase any Lego sets. I do live in the middle of the Mojave desert!! Enjoy your weekend my fellow afol

yes @I_Igor using www.bricklink.com (thank you @Johnny1360j for the link) for reference for color availability and even the weights are listed and some of the weight posted are way off!!! Not all Lego technic elements are available in black.. That's ok!! Some elements that are in dark blue gray are the heaviest and maybe the strongest of the colors and the parts in that color only are the best parts to use.. like differentials and axles with stops and the dark gray color gears seems not to slip a lot compared to a smaller black gear of the same part .. check out the pictures for a few examples After all this the perfect Lego Technic model doesn't need to be all black (you can't make all black) The heavy duty elements in Dark Blue Gray color only adds strength where its needed (differential) and using black beams and lift arms for the frame and chassis is ideal and to build around the Dark Blue Gray elements with black or any color in fact would be optimal for weight saving and durability... I also believe the color Red is the new next black since i can find differentials cases and gears in the color red!!! Actually it seems there is more red then black technic elements of all shapes and the weight of red always falls in the center of between black the lightest and Dark blue gray the heaviest /.. Red is the middle weight champ !! Here is an example of the color black gear is a tad smaller then any other color @I_Igor You can use a 5x7 black frame as a 11 x5 !!! lol and does anyone knows how to use the grooves inside the 5x7 and 5x11 frames ????!!!

The weight savings will benefit the Lego RC community in competition ranging to top speed or endurance with strength for rock climbing. Join the black color technic challenge and turn your favorite speed demon or that 8x8 monster truck into a precise weighted all color black MOC or model and see if it made a difference in weight and or performance!! Then later dont forget to give me a pat on my back and say thanks :)

@I_Igor lol!!! I purchase 2 Lego 42075 to do a side by side comparison and I have both 2 x 5x7 frame (as in the lego set 42075 comes with 1x black colored 5x7 frame element!! and @ ebay $2.99 a piece!! ) .. I ran out of black panels!! to finish an all black 42075.. A bigger model like Unimog would show a bigger savings in the overall weight vs an all black elements. made. I would request you do a weight out between an colored vs your all black model and there are other colors to experiment like light blue gray colored elements are also light but not as strong as black colored elements from my experience and experiments .. You would be building the world's second optimized weighted MOD or MOC in the Lego world!! ,some black elements are hard to find and a big collection would be helpful on this adventure in the pioneer of optimized weighted Lego Technic!!

@I_Igor lol, I see your point and I see why!! After a 20 year break and ive been recently purchasing technic sets and they all seem to have very colorful axles,connectors and pins which it seems to be a bit chaotic then useful. Seems like the older technic sets that are 10 years or older haves the flavors I would prefer. I was surprise to see a black colored even and odd length axles and gears set all in black.. sometimes it is worth to bid on ebay on assorted bags of technic elements.. I won a bid and purchase a pound of random Technics elements for $7 usd and I got over a pound of black elements that can at least do two moc for all the gears and axles to be in black... lift arms and panels are usually cheaper when you buy a real set (store) vs buying panels and lift arms separately are most costly which averagely at double the price of a regular Lego set.. Mocing can be costly even wanting to build a set with one color only.. unless you have every lego technic model for the last 5 years, Mocing even a all black technic model is becoming a costly habit and its getting into my beer funds.. its worth it ... :) Well if you picked the lego element on the right side of the picture then it is great you have manage to keep your eye sight in good shape.. The color, the shape and even the thickness are the same.. I would predict when all Lego elements are transformed to a sugar cane base formula , the cost of shipping will be reduce because of a average 0.040 of a gram reduction on every Lego element which I hope will make the Lego's more affordable .. Believe it or not!!!!!

Here is a wiki link about ABS plastic for those who are Lego curious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene

Well, I couldn't resist and did a few comparison between a 10 year old palm leaf?? vs the new sugar based synthetics palm leaf.. First of all the flexibility is different and the sugar base bends easy and springs back but... I do believe Lego ages quickly with the bricks becomes more exposed to our environment and the sun dries it to a brittle. So comparing the flexibility between the to pieces needs to be observed in time. Ok, the tedious task of weighing them out is interesting .. I wonder if there would be any sugar based Technics?? and would that be the end of the density of color technic world?? the last posted picture are two Lego's pieces , 1 is the sugar base and the other is a 10 year sample.. can you guess which of the two is the real slim shady (the sugar base) !! this is the weight from the 10 year old sample.. and the virgin, which has never been out of its package till now. touching them with our filthy oils can alter the weight.. ,hummmm .. what can I say???well good luck !!

wow!! great job!! Looks like a real ride!!!! I hope I can get my finished in time!!

@Magical Duck Amen!!

@nerdsforprez you are also a master builder, I can't say in your words.. the finger pointing must stop!!! as all can agree!!! On;y Lego Technics discussions are allowed!!

@kolbjha I guess you never been @ bitcointalk.org.. Money is the main talk!!! otherwise, i've seen more important issues to discuss about

@nerdsforprez I disagree with your opinion. advenator and m_longer are master technic builders in heart and their hearts are about technics

@Bublehead I hope you don't mind for posting this!!

I'm from the "old school" of Technics and my heart from a 10 year old in me with the Lego set 8860 still beats loudly.. Is it a Volkswagen or a Porsche.. who knows!!! It's the tech part I still thrive from!!

@Sariel , wow...LOL!! ok, dude!!! I apologizes for my comment.. I see your point. I would hate to be on your bad side!!!

@steph77 your comment is spot on and #6 "respect" is good....but even Sariel can't state that unless he is the Original Manufacturer unless someone is looking into money..Your comment made me opened my eyes to an ugly world and when does MOC importance to money (marketing) over technic building became the norm??? http://realdealsteel.com/ft-2198-what-does-officially-licensed-mean.html ....

lol!! back in 1984 , most Lego technic sets barley look like what it represented and technically you are successful. hate to state this but I feel some individuals are more into the "looks" and forget about the technic side .. Can we have fun with our technics ??? that seems to been lost by a few individuals just over naming .. we can't call a banana an apple but they are both called fruits!!!

@gate I still think your crane looks cool and it shows your "art" style, maybe its not accurate to the real deal but when I first got into technics back in 1984 , most Lego technic sets barley look like what it represented and technically you are successful.. unfortunate, a generic crane "name" would of been inappropriate but its your MOC and you can name it what ever you like, I hate to state this but I feel some individuals are more into the "looks" and forget about the technic side .. Can we have fun with our technics ??? that seems to been lost by a few individuals just over naming .. we can't call a banana an apple but they are both called fruits!!!
