Hello model is improved and finished. Codename "Zetros Killer"(they did not met in the octagon yet, but sooner or later...) model was improved comparing to previous verison above in next directions longer wheelbase for better look and stability reinforced steering system with limiter (to pervent large wheels touching chassis). better modularity for best building and modding experience snorkel was removed - it was too fragile cooling radiator with fans was added in the back - hub was too hot🔥😁 The model is assembled from 1x cardan joint + LEGO Technic 42114 Volvo 6x6 A60h. Almost B model. Original set contain only 1x cardan joint, to build 4x4 I need 2 of them. So it can be true 42114 B model too, but it will be RWD. 2in1 model: DAKAR rally truck or light truck for Trial! Easy removable rear body part to drop down weight! 4x4 transmission with axle differentials. Front axle - L motor control +, rear axle - XL motor control +. The motors are NOT shaft connected to each other (like in 9398, 42099) Rear differential manual lock Steering system: Control+ large angle motor Suspension: long range swing axles with torsion bar system Transmission 16:16 - 12:28 - 8:24. 16:16 gear can be changed to 12:20 or 20:12 for more speed or torque. With 12-20 mod it can climb 50 degrees uphill (in trial body mode) Cabin and cargo platform - removable modules Steering angle is the only thing I am not 100% satisied with. It is ok, but can be better. Indoor trial test Also I use alternative APP for LEGO control+, (Buwizz, Sbrick) control One more detailed video review on my native language More model photos here model instruction at https://clck.ru/hibGq OR https://reb.li/m/113177

cheap austar MT's are wide and ballon-like. So they are perfect on 43 mm wheels of zetros A lot. All 1.9 fit on 56 mm rims. Including touring/drift RC tires

Well, rim is wider than tire. It's pure aesthectical moment. Extra foam inserts can solve this btw check this also https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005002564060104.html?spm=a2g2w.productlist.0.0.51d91bdfp08fh8&sku_id=12000021167705129 https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005002950390290.html?item_id=1005002950390290&sku_id=12000022926643357&spm=a2g2w.productlist.0.0.51d91bdfp08fh8

Ok, understand you now. Original RC4WD 1.55 Mickey Tompson Baja MTZ are SMALLER and NARROWER than cheaper analog from Aliexpress with the same name 1.55 Mickey Tompson Baja MTZ (austar brand). RC4WD too small and narrow for truck. Also, thread pattern of this tire is not realsitic for trucks, it's for SUV's. As for me, I like how austar tires fit the truck - size and proportions.

1.2 RC 4WD MT are small for Zetros and for its rim generally. They are 68x20 mm size and fit only rims from 42043 Arocs set.

[MOC] Toyota Supra

Will you sell instruction for this TOYOTA? -
Hello, this is my new old MOC LEGO Technic SUV 8081XL - a deep rework of the LEGO Technic 8081 set for my girls. - Steering system from HOG - front independent suspension - rear axle suspension - rear axle to V6 - doors, hood and trunk open - saloon for 7 seats - the middle and 3rd row are foldable - 1st row armrest with storage compartment - Plenty of legroom for passengers - Cup holders) Car was built for my baby girls to play with Belville Dolls, first as improved 8081 set, but imprvement went too far. Reason, I choose non LEGO 1:10 RC wheels are: 1) too simple for luxury 2) Too big for steering 3) too small 4) Too rare / expensive 5) not Mercedes-Benz This are good! So, saloon ergonomics wins! Because I've got family (Toretto) Thank you If you are ready to watch my russian language review (you can turn on translation of reussian subtitiles to you language on the fly!!!) then there is a video below. 15 minute review (you can watch using autotranslated subtitiles) https://youtu.be/Gbrzqxbl3MI

[REVIEW] 42130 - BMW M1000RR K66
rm8 replied to Milan's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great review from moto-guru. small note: rear tire is larger than front 140 mm VS 134 mm -
Hello. This topic can be intersting for those, who want to know what can be done with 42114 set. Model has no real prototype. It is just a fantasy with VOLVO stickers! This model was build from 1x cardan joint + 1x 42114 set. The Goal was to built a truck with suspenison, 4x4 transmission and performace close to 42129 Zetros Truck. pros: - 3 motors in the set, that make possible to built model with the same performance as 42129. - Portal hubs inside, enough gears and gearbox parts - enough liftarms and panels - new differentials cons: - no suspension arms, links, shock absorbers - no gear racks - only 1 cardan joint and 1 20-tooth gear Set contain a lot of turn tables, so decicison comes fast. But for making model with all swiging axles, I need to stabilize at least on of them, or model will always lean one side. I used power of twisted axles to return model to the neutral position. Suspension is done with torsion sway bars. For slow trial models fully suspended live axle and swinging live axle (like in JEEP 42122) on the go has no difference. XL and L control+ motors are very close in RPM and Torque. I used L for rotating front axle, XL for rear. Angled big c+ motor is used for turning steering wheels using liftarm as steering link. Steering system have akkerman system imitation. Total gearing for each axle is 16:16 - 12:28 - 8:24. We can switch first gearing to 12:20 or 20:12 for faster speed or more torque. But it is amazing fact: 42114 has only one 20 tooth gear. One of the reasons is new differentials that use 12t gears. Rear axle has manual differential lock. first ideas was to create european type truck without nose using design of Arocs cabin. But at the end, my viewers motivate me (it was 3 episodes project) to build something new. So it the end model has long nose cabin and aerodynamic body behind the cab with removable part the transfrom dakar truck body to trial truck. final result and some Trial tests here in episode 3.
