Joker: "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" Batman: "I'm Batman" Ultimate 1989 Batmobile (42231 B-Model) design study packed with functions, instructions work-in-progress more photos and function animations https://bricksafe.com/pages/klimax MODEL COMING SOON

Thanks for reviewing my MOC (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-252936/klimax/mercedes-benz-unimog-u406-trial-truck-42209-volvo-l120-electric-wheel-loader-b-model/#details) from you mentions: step 45 should be built at the same time as 44, i need to update it can you mention other findings i did miss (floating pieces)? with building several submodels of the model 20+ times i was 3d building and modeling steps by memory, not by mine instructions - so some alpha build test would be beneficial, will think of it in the future Can you also share those photos and revier on RB model page? thank you -Jan

Hello builder, I'm glad you are using my base model (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-252936/klimax/mercedes-benz-unimog-u406-trial-truck-42209-volvo-l120-electric-wheel-loader-b-model/#details) as this part of experimenting It was always ment to be this way ;) I have thouhgt about several version of unimog at the beginning of building, and 2 are allready done: 1) unimog trial truck - maximize the possibility to bend its chasis toward axles 2) werner uniknick - portal axles and unigue steering and swinging 2-part body in plan: 'standard' unimog with portal axles and both PTOs, no suspension, but as simple version of 8110 model - workhorse with possibility to add as much attachments as possible - so you started this action sooner ;) But once found informations of upcoming model Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 5023 with Crane (42242), i'm on hold to see it's possibilities, as the model might be the same size (or slightly bigger), with correct tires and suspension. So i'm sensing some joined models 42242 + 42209 cheers

Looking forward to see steering function. I'd like to compare it with my implementation, which isn't based on gear rack, also adds level of complexity due to working suspension https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-128118/klimax/batmobile-tumbler-with-tractor-tires-42141-mclaren-formula-1-alternate/#details

will you please share digital model? i would love to have enough time for this ;) I'd try to build it from older parts with 4-rotor blades, as i'm mostly interested in the gearbox and avionics (and then compare it to my redefinition of 9396 helicopter model from 42082 https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-95253/klimax/helicopter-42082-rough-terrain-crane-c-model/#details) will buy it later, once the price drops a little \thanks

I just noticed, it's model of Airbus and not Boeing, thus meaning TLG has licences with both major airplane companies, interesting...

TLG has plan to release pneumatic backhoe? are there some of this rumours? I would be tempted. but funny thing, 2 months ago i just finished backhoe loader from 42082 set (so no pneumiatic, but just lineart actuators), inpired by JCB Sitemaster 4CX/5CX or CAT 444F2 more here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/klimax/42082-backhoe-tractor

Nice job, will you share the file? Thanks

What i like: * panels (fan of orange pieces) * tires (finaly 4 tumbler tires in 1 model) What is missing 1) HOG (removable like in defender) 2) link joint to DRS 3) removable front wing 4) more detailed engine (but not with much system pieces!) 1-3 can be easily achieved and will be first mods, after set will be released On the other hand I understand not implementing 10-gear selector gearbox (1-8+N+R), because it's not mostly visible and speed changes in engine. I didn't want make some crypled version (2/4 gear) shifting in my MOCs from design point of view, it looks OK, some holes between panels might have been covered better 1-3 is easily doable https://bricksafe.com/files/klimax/42110-formula-1/03.jpg I might buy it second-hand or severely discounted at the end of production (for panels or tires), but i prefer mostly real technic models (gears and functions)

I want to thank developer of this app to allow me to use physical controller for my RC creations. It allows me to make really enjoyable RC models for my children. I understand android limitation to keep phone display 'shining', but at least some diming should be fine, if possible. Many thanks for your work. some of my creations https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-100846/klimax/motorized-excavator-42100-c-model https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-43014/klimax/24-hours-le-mans-car-rc-version-42039-alternate-42077-c-model https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-41657/klimax/trophy-truck-rc-version-42077-c-model-baja-dakar-trophy-truck-or-stadium-super-truck https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-39160/klimax/trophy-buggy-rc-version-42077-c-model-baja-class-one-unlimited-buggy-or-dakar-ssv https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-52096/klimax/42069-extreme-adventure-wheels-mod-nonrcrc https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-51166/klimax/fast-buggy-8048-alternate https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-93959/klimax/4x4-extreme-offroader-42077-alternate

hello, I don't think so, LEGO is trying to avoid higher speeds, so it is not potentially harmfull to to little children. Buggy motor is the history and all new PU sets are slow as hell. So then comnes us as MOCers to come with fastest solution fomr existing motors ;) Thanks fo liking the model, have you built it? and if yes, how do you like it, how does it drive?

google disk, dropbox? https://blog.bit.ai/free-file-sharing-sites/

Thank you very much for your software, i've just tested lxf2ldr.html and it works flawless I'm creating submodels in ldd mainly as steps adding new bricks, so when transforming via your code and loading to stud.io, my model still needs some polishing of releasing the steps and creating real submodels, but its much better, then creating it from zero. Big thanks

I was thinnking about gear ratios on back axle and couldn't figure out the gear hidden behind wheel to comply with 36 visible connected to motor on lenght of 5 studs. Will there be whe newest differential? And if I'm not mistaken, differential might not be good idea for buggy, where there is a possibility that wheels will bounce off the terrain and it might loose traction on 1 wheel limiting traction on other wheel, that actualy stays on the ground. I experimented with this on my RC version of 8048 buggy (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-51165/klimax/8048-buggy-rc-mod/#details) and never thought putting there differential for the reason written above. Can you share digital model of this buggy? thanks

Little update on building the 3d model. Gearbox is ready, but providing only 5 functions All functions are working fine, i just needed to slow gear movement a little bit, so it's not so quick, with exception of rotors rotation, which should be quick I spend at least 3 weeks tuning the gearbox and all connected gears and axles, to squeez it inside the plane body, which wasn't easy (and i was not able to fit there the 6th function unfortunately - so reel with hook would need to be operated manually) one win is is allready connected to plane body
