Instructions?!? tim

All you need for a degree: the ability to spread your legos out over a kitchen table. then simply start building! i am a 16 year old high schooler, so if i can build something, i am sure you can to! the best advice i can give you is to just build, don't worry if it sucks or doesn't look good; all that will come with time. tim

I love all of his trucks, they look so amazing! I have noticed that more MOCers have been chroming parts recently. is it expensive? tim

That is a truly ingenious method to mechanically detect fallen pins, really clever. tim

Haha no not quite but there would be some cool applications. tim

very impressive build. it is a shame that those wheels are so expensive. tim

I mean a solenoid, like with an electromagnet and a pin that falls out when the electricity is turned off. tim

This is one awesome super car, i cant wait to see more! Are you planing to make it R/C? tim

I dont know if anyone has already mentioned this but how about a pf solenoid? tim

haha that is certainly a very original idea, but...what would they do ? tim

Has anyone noticed the awesome manipulators built out of legos in the videos?! The ones that were building the super-car were awesome. I would pay to see that set in action, it was probably pretty cool. tim

I am making a Pistenbully to and i have the auto-valves controlled in a similar way, and so far i have not burnt out any motors. tim

Just post the link!!!! tim

Nice progress so far! very sophisticated and complicated! tim

I cant wait for the instructions! Nice build. tim

Very impressive truck, nice job! tim

Thanks jurgen and Dan! Tim

Lucky!!!!!!!!! I have been wishing for snow fora while. Tim

Thanks for the compliments all! I am really excited by the snowgroomer. i am building it so it will actually be able to go in real snow! tim

Hello, I finally present to the forum my first all studless build, my remote control backhoe! This project has definitly been the largest so far. the remote functions include: drive steering loader arm up/down loader bucket tilt rear boom up/down dipper in/out bucket tilt boom swing the manual functions include: 3x pf lights outriggers extending dipper The front loader arm is controlled by 2 large actuators and 2 mini actuators for the bucket. The cabin is where the lights and the outriggers are controlled via the pf switches. This is also my first attempt at a comfortable chair . The pf receivers are hidden inside the steps into the cab. When getting prepared for digging, the outriggers and front bucket are extended, lifting the whole machine off the ground. Even without the dipper extended, the arm has quite the reach. This is what the dipper looks like extended. The rear arm is very compactly built, and i was very inspired by Jurgmeister's backhoe on brickshelf. What it looks like from behind. Overall, i am very satisfied with this model. Since it was my first all studless build it was quite a challenge. Unfortunately i couldn't afford to make a brickshelf order so not all the parts are the color i wanted them to be, which is why i had to put the huge battery box inside the cab instead of the smaller AAA battery box. i got a little distracted towards the end by my next project...a snowgroomer with a twist . More/larger photos can be found on my Brickshelf page: Brickshelf Finally the video: Comments and critique welcome! tim

haha i love the worm! tim

Wow those cars go fast! i am surprised that they could get over any obstacles. tim

Well i think the TLG figured that kids wouldn't keep the motor going even after the clutches have been switched, so the motor would not get burnt out. tim

That is ingenious!!! tim

Nice pictures. Whats the link to the folder? tim
