Anything I post here has probably already been said, so I'll just agree to everything Also sagging springs

I don't know if that's just a typo, but next time I'll give you ten :)!

After some rebuilding and redesigning I finished the gearbox and created some instructions for it. If anybody wants them, PM me. The reason for this is I lost the Stud.io file... so I can't upload it to rebrickable, and only send you guys the instructions per email.

I was kind of making a joke about how BuWizz has already kind of perfected the Buggy Motor

Maybe CaDA should make some RC buggy motors with a more appealing shape - one that would fit inside MOCs easier, and with metal gearing?

Yes indeed

Concept = Good Shifter = too big Again, these types of gearboxes are very hard to shift.

Nice! I need to figure out a way to make a shifter for these sliding gearboxes.

The bold type is making my eyes water, almost as much as the crawler! Kudos to PTNYC for making this! The use of LAs for steering is very innovative and great for steering with power! Are there building instructions?

I'm glad you like it. By the way, the input is the 20-tooth gear connected to the P-N-D-R gearbox. Here's a pic of the underside, 4-speed on the bottom and P-N-D-R on the top (completed version, mind you): And here's a picture from the top of the full gearbox, 4-Speed on the top and P-N-D-R on the bottom: Of course it still needs the "slim treatment" if it's to actually fit anywhere, because at the moment the dimensions are a pain in the megablocks.

Thanks!

I had an idea. In most cars, there is not just one single gearbox, but 2. The one for speeds, and the one for drive, neutral, reverse and park. In Lego sets, both gearboxes are usually captured. But also usually the park is left out of the second gearbox. I'm here to change that. After a couple ideas of racking my brains and to many hours to count on Stud.io, I have found a solution that adds park to you car. The idea is that there are two gearboxes in the car, behind the seats and in front of the rear axle. One controls drive, neutral, reverse and park. It also controls if the second gearbox is used or not. Only in drive does it direct the power from the rear axle through the 4-Speed gearbox next to it. Here it is: This showcases drive mode, where the power is directed to the 4-Speed gearbox on the side. Park... Neutral... And reverse. Thanks for reading, and everybody is free to use this concept in their builds!

I use flickr, and when I upload the page link, it doesn't show the photo... any ideas?

Unimog, but with a lengthened wheelbase!

Great job everybody! 18: 10 27: 6 33: 4 43: 3 22: 2 36 :1

This is going to haunt me for the rest of my life...

Wow! Surprised how quickly a B-Model has been constructed, with this much quality and functions! Great job and good usage of the "limited" parts ! Also... First!

Very True! I just built a MOC of a Mazda RX-7 in orange, and umm some people have asked why I used red, yellow and orange all in one...

Nice! Are those orange Bionicle pieces on the front intentional? Although I am a car aficionado I haven't truly studied the dino yet...

I don't mean to be nosy, but what would you need that number for?

Good to see that some people still care about posting small builds like this.. great job!

I'm always happy when people deviate from the usual path of vehicles (I know it's still an engine) and make something different! Stay healthy, and make more stuff like this!

This remake of the set gave me a boost to find my 5550 in my mess of lego sets in my basement, and you recreation is truly up to scratch!

I definitely agree with the people who say a like system would be good, and that thus it would be easier to leave a quick comment than writing a full review. Personally I try to leave a longer comment with both positive and negative sides. Seeing as there are loads of talented builders on this site, it shouldn't be hard to find good things to say about there MOCs. Also it shouldn't be hard to find things that could be done better. To quote some person on a tv show: "nothing is perfect". Therefore there should be some way to find some negative things about the MOC, even if it is nitpicking. There is also the problem of trying to find the perfect balance between "that brick is a very teensy mistake" and "that looks horrendous". One good thing the Eurobricks system has is the main page, where there usually are MOCs of different styles and themes. Maybe we could even have a "medieval day" or "space day" with the respective themes displayed, and MOCs of those themes displayed. We also need to try and advertise the forum so that more people visit it and a) either discover the joy of Lego again via somebody's creation or b) discover the EB forum and use it as their go-to Lego forum.

Seeing as there are still some great looking models on this sub-forum, maybe this topic will attract more people to it. It's definitely done that to me!
