42054 - Claas Xerion 5000 Trac VC
Jim replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks buddy! Just finished it. It turned out okay! Although I could have covered the tires in more detail. Ahh well, let's get it on the line! Review is online! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138380 Let's continue discussion over there to keep a single topic. -
(thanks) Thanks mate. Funny thing is that building the model and taking the pictures don't take quite as long as the write-up. Well I guess it's 50/50 for building and pictures vs the written part.

Again, sorry it took so long! There's enough information available already, but I hope you still enjoy reading it. I haven't double checked the content, so if you see any mistakes, let me know.

Have been making backups the first our hehe. Better late then never. I'm working on the review as we speak. Won't be so elaborate as the Porsche, but I still hope it's useful. -

I concur that the steering mechanism has quite some slack. Especially noticeable with these big wheels. That's one of the minor downsides. Too bad the new hubs don't solve this problem. Agreed! -

I'm afraid you will need to wait a bit for my review. My hosting provider (where I stage my reviews) has ongoing server issues. Usually I create backups after writing a lot, because the provider is not very reliable. Well, you know what.....I didn't do that after my last write-up. So hopefully problems will be solved shortly, so I can finish the review. And start thinking about a different hosting provider -

I don't think that's the case. What did you mean? -

So you are intrigued (did you mean inteterested?) what all the praising is about... ...yet you perfectly describe what the praising is all about -

If you are interested in LEGO, Ninja Turtles and Stop Motion, you better visit the Licensed Forum and take a look at this wonderful stop motion video made by AnkTales.

Want to see something cool and different? Our very own EB member Paul (Crowkillers) Boratko has made an appearance in the TV show Counting Cars. One of his cars is getting the Counting Cars custom treatment. There's a link to the episode, so be sure to check out the entire topic.

I am planning on finishing the review tonight, without the silage plow. I will leave that one for each of you to discover (Will take me another night and I don't have much time this weekend, so I'd like to get the review online. Maybe I will add it later) -

Nice offer! Don't wait for my review, go buy it!! I will publish my reviews, where I discuss these things. Other than that, you're on your own. Can't look in your wallet and I don't know what each of you like better. So it pretty much boils down to personal preference combined with your budget. And like I said to you before; get the Claas! Best Technic set I reviewed so far. -
I know what you mean. A building techniques section. Come to think of it; this is more a "Help with building something" topic. Maybe I need to change the topic title. Help with Building LEGO Technic is more suitable. ----------------- So on my Robot/LDD matter; I'd like to have an LDD replacement for the 125mm Rotacasters. Maybe you can help me out http://www.rotacaster.com.au/shop/125mm-rotacaster-wheels/index

That wasn't the best solution By interesting bracing you mean NO bracing ( in my defense, it was still a WIP) I will come back to you in (soon to post) Robot topic. I might need a similar solution I will split this topic into a generic Help with Technic Building Techniques. I don't think we have a topic like that.
