42120 Hovercraft
Touc4nx replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
B-model looks great, the usage of the sticker is quite nice. But why on earth did they choose lime for the wheels ? It's IMO the worst color combination with orange… -

I've uploaded the instructions for the manual chassis on Rebrickable. It's the chassis that I use in the blue version of the car, and in the white version that I have on display at home. You can simply swap the different bodyworks over the chassis. This chassis is purely made for display, it's mainly empty. It feature the full suspension, the central differential and the working fake engine, but no gearbox. Edit : I've started to work on the instructions for blue bodywork

I'm gonna make a prediction and say that we might see a set coming with 64682 and 64392 in black, as these two parts are available via B&P- 5,466 replies

Control+ General Discussion
Touc4nx replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
So a "dumb" hub like the plain battery box costs 30 £. IIrc, the battery box for PF was less than half the price… And you could have up to 4 motors running from it : 8043 as an example. Is there any advantages to this hub ? -
It's this part : https://rebrickable.com/parts/5102c06/hose-pneumatic-4mm-d-6l-48cm/ It seems that this part don't exist (as a 4.5 cm long one), It might have been a pneumatic hose that was cut manually. I don't really know, as some of my parts are older than me :D

So if I understand correctly, when the servo rotates, the rotation goes through the fifferential, as this one is locked in place by this part . And when the servo returns to center, the differential housing rotes, as the friction on the 90° Steppr is greater than the one needed to make the differential move. Anyway it's quite interesting. I might try to build it to understand how it exactly works.

I can only agree ! Yes they are hard to come by. I had the chance to find 8461 not that expensive a while ago. Then I started to wonder if the blue version was possible. I was quite limited by the parts aviable. For the C pillar, they have the right shape I think. But concerning the rear fender, I agree, they look better on original version.
-
As It's a Subaru, It has to be made in blue. I tried to keep every feature in it. So the doors, hood and trunk still open. I also used metallic silver exhaust, they look better than flat silver ones. This is now the third aviable color for this Moc. It's by far the one that needed the biggest amount of reworks. It's also the most expensive bodywork out of the three. But it isn't the most expensive version, as it's a manual on. I'm now waiting on the new ninjago set to bring me the wheels in metallic gold :)
-
That's why I said "were" When I made the withe version, the part was ~10€ and there is like 40 in the original bodywork… So way too expensive. Now it's doable.

Technic Model Comparison
Touc4nx replied to Ngoc Nguyen's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
20 year between two helicopters. Roughly the same number of parts (~330) -
The main problem is that there are modifications on the design, as some parts, just don't exist in white I.e : And other were way too expensive :
-
Considering how I made them, it will be quite hard to do, and I don't have that much time right now... But, If you want, I can send you the digital file for the white version, however, there is no instructions in it. By the way, I made a blue version. I will post pictures soon. It's now the third possible color for it. (And by far the most expensive one :D )

[HELP] Generic Building Help Topic
Touc4nx replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
IIRC, they are exactly the same, with the same problem... There are in my opinion three solutions : Change the hub for custom brick build ones. Make a bad steering geometry. Accept the problem -
It's not a set… You can buy instructions on Rebrickable.com : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-38243/Toucanx/subaru-wrx-sti/#details BUT You have to buy parts on your own, for example on Bricklink/Brickowl etc…
