[MOC] Toyota Hilux 1985
rm8 replied to paave's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
@paave again could easily hit all your arguments, but wont do that. Now it’s clear - your personal negative relation behind all that. No reason to discuss further. All others, exuse me that you had to read all that. -
[MOC] Toyota Hilux 1985
rm8 replied to paave's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
What kind of official regulation you want? The body is just a slighlty simpified mod of NOT your creation. All the proprotions, angles, dimensions, sizes and fixing points between main body elements the same. Changing one element with another similar size is not making design yours: front light part "window" replaced with alternative headlight of the same size, grille between lights the same. Bonnet of the same size connected with the same angle, you just simplified its shape, are you sure you made design better? Windshield frame the same, even lower A pillar connected with half stud vertical offset. Roof, doors, overal cargo bed design with shortened front part and totally the same rear end. Width, height, only shortened length. Yes, lego parts are limited and I made a lot of improvements and updates many time, this don't mean "nobody can do it anymore", but if you can't do it other way knowing that existing idea is best match, then build other scale to be unique or call the thing with proper names: You are selling without permission/notification/credits just a mod of not your model on your own chassis, and till this moment trying to argue and show off. -

No BTTF here at all: - wrong color - wrong wheelbase/bed length - wrong cabin size (I have correct version for you) - no BTTF styling accesorries -
[MOC] Toyota Hilux 1985
rm8 replied to paave's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes, but when it is the same model and same scale size, samу key konnecting points and measures between them, where majority of key design elements use the same lego pieces combinations - where is a coincidence? I can believe you If you did not see my “234144154“ versions “234144154” times. But you saw it, and knowing you can't do it alternative way without stealing model you still call it own. As an experienced builder you should know that 80% of success in design is to find right shape. In modern lego technic it means - using right panels putting it to right places and angles. I see that your reaction is more offensive that my comment. Purpose of post is not to prohibit, but to follow simple ethics. U can reuse, call it your own, and sell. But it is not correct. Also I did not do 234144154 models. You are wrong again, Pavel. -

You are good designer with a lot of good models, but I confused... why can't you say that body is cop...inpsired by other design with minor changes and simpifiactions? even seat headrests...Not a tragedy, but... -

Hello Balage. Yes, I did. Wathing your review I've noticed that GT4 is equal with Buggy with larger wheels. May be missed something about RPM -

by the way, what is the rotating speed? do someone noticed that? Anyway, for kids play need it is good module. Not too fast, and not too slow. I will add some of my models on this chassis for sure. -

Every day I enter this topic, to check, if someone find the way, secret app button or cheat code to make set drive faster... please tag me, when you find it -
Only one 4runner have such complex transmission - 3rd gen: 2/4wd, lo/hi, central diff with locker - mix of full time 4WD and part time 4WD. 4 and 5 gen have different full/part time according to trim, but no more "all in one" as before. Only Mitsubishi's with its Super Select still alive. Such T-case looks really unversal for every life situation: fuel economy (really?), have some fun ( 2wd drifting on dad's car). safe driving (full time) and hard offroad (part-time). I was always wodering, do sr5/trd offroad 4Runner owners substitute "part time" T-case with "Full time" from limited trims? Because Limited trim with chrome and sport-style low bumpers looks like common SUV from China.

42109 Rebuild

rebuild wuth blue parts and add peral gold wheels. -
I must admit, these WPL RC tires fit perfect only at this old LEGO wheels. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6582#T=S&O={"iconly":0} But these wheels can't be used with 3pin steering hubs. For myself I decided to print custom wheels.
