No:)

Hi, We passed model committee two days ago. Everything is going fine. Now I cant say the date when it will be presented. But as Remember 20-23 of march is real. The 22 of february was a mistake...

Love Jurgen's white car, Jojotje and Legotrucker:) but Jurgens best for me

Pimped by Xzibit:) Only thing we left to do - chromed rims:)

Mates, what do you think: is there any demand in instruction for Prado? Now this car is standing on my shelve. I understand that I have to reinforce some elements and update design before making any instruction. Of course,this additional details and weeks of hard LDD work. But I dont plan to become rich by that:) just compensation for additional work. I know that it is far from ideal comparing with such supercar-builders like Sheepo, Crowkillers and others. This is my my first big MOC and supercar after dark ages. So, would you pay for instruction? Is, for example, 10€ a good price for such MOC on your shelve?

I need to build this great MOC to impress those who still think that my hobby is child's toy:) Just realized, that we can build only chassis and then build our own body: Some Land cruisers Nissan Patrol Russian UAZ BENZ G So many cars with similar chassis (two live axles+ part time awd). Perfect creation. Sure, It cost its 20€ Thank to Allanp and, of course, Sheepo.

Very cool! How fast and powerful chassis without body? i mean: could it drive thru obstacles much better than with heavy body? I think I have to buy instruction just because of succesful drivetrain:)

There is only one reason why there is no information: it is still developing, and not confirmed by management. May be it is a exclusive set project wich was started too late and not ready yet.

Race car? I am not sure. It is better not to announce name at all, or name it "exclusive crawler", but not "action race car". No action, no race. Car - yes. I think it should be something new and secret. May be Little present for fans for second half:)

I got mine free 1 week ago from Lego-RUSSIA for winning in contest:) Off: we have 8547 mindstorms NXT 2.0. 50% sale!

Model is going to comitee next week. It is almost ready. I dont think we can change something. Hope they'll listen the voice of community. I saw many color variants of Boss during our work. I can tell that yellow is very cool. But we choose another color. Mates, I am going to make civil chassis from existing 9398 chassis with the same mounting points for body to make civil version of Boss muscle car.

Very Impressive! Cant wait to see this sequental gearbox in action and build it by myself:)

What?:) did not understand your question bro:)

You use technic liftarms as usual BRICKS:) your building technic is unique, your signature;) You drive crazy TLG technic team: " OMG nooo, dont sell technic to that insane, he use it as bricks!!!..."

Brilliant! Sad that others was disassembled:(

now its time for you to left dark ages behind;) soon youll receive crawler to build new models in real. Welcome back!

Good work. Grohl will love it for sure;)

I think you should build your Enforcer around existing 9398 chassis with minor updates.

Ok, break or slip.

Difference is that 9398 uses two L and your MOc - one XL that is two times more torque from the shaft. May be torque on wheel shafts is the same, but in the 9398 source of power is divided to two independent motors (2 times weak than xl) and stalling one axle do not boost torque on second axle. And enfrocer has 1 source of power with 2 times more torque. In theory differential must divide this huge torque 50/50 between axles. Stalling one axle makes boost of torque on other wheels. Problem is that diff with its weak 12t gears cant handle such torque management. Dont forget, that weight of model also do its "bad" part of work. In 9398 torque is growing STEP BY STEP, and diffs get a little bit more torque than L motor shaft gives (12:20 gearing between them). After diff there are another two gearing stages (12:20 and again 12:20). Your config: XL gives Lot of torque from the SHAFT (not step by step as L config). First who will cry from that torque will be tranaxle diff, then gearing down 12:20 - and axle diffs gets more torque than first diff. I am sure that if you hold all 4 wheels and push accelerator, 12t bevel gears in diffs will die/slip first. If you change XL to 1 L and do the same thing motor will stall and all gears will be alive and happy. This all is theory, but people here have some experience in this. Hope it will help you to improve Enforcer. L per axle is best solution for Enforcer. You can use your modified chassis with 9398's axles and drivetrain, why not?

New set is just a marketing campaign with main target- support main flagship product 9398. While new set will be limited with higher price, 9398 will stay unlimited (dont know how long) and cheaper. 9398 is balanced set with chassis and nothing more. What we get with Boss we will see at 22 of february... About Enforcer: Since crazy1993 give me right to write some constructive critics I will do it: The main problem will be drivetrain: 1) it contain differentials - thats good for non-stress driving but dramatically for obstacles. 2) making enforcer without middle diff is dangerous for drivetrain. i have a MOC with 68's ballon wheels with AWD without middle diff and with axle diffs. Propulsion by 1 XL. The weight of model about 1 kg. Steering this car at flat surfaces is stressful for drivetrain. it is clearly visible at steering. Enforcer has weight 2 or 2,5 times more than my moc. Only way to make such heavy moc drive and steer good - making different motors for each axle. Separate motors transmission simulate transmission with one motor with limited slip differential between axles. Another reason why I dont like such transmission - XL motor. It gives much torque from output. This is good if wheel is connected directly to motor output or has minimum gears between wheel and motor. But in this situation motor gives huge torque thru all gears (with gearing down!!!). There is a huge risk that somewhere before wheel something brokes. If you lock the wheels by hand and push controller forward - something brokes. Of course 3 diffs save from that, but another side of this saving - bad crawling abilities. The best transmission by Lego is to use fast and less torque motors (L, M) that cant broke gears in transmission (cause of small torque, they usually stall) and gearing down at final stage after all gearings and diffs - near each wheel. You know I am talking about wheel gear reduction, or unimog hubs. I think thats one of the reasons why TLG develop and use L motors in 9398 instead of XL which is very dangerous in hands of unexperienced builders. Hope you understand my idea - your transmission is loaded by high torque from the mototr output. Ideal chassis when drivetrain is loaded by high RPMs and low torque, and gearing down at final stage - near the wheels. Thats no offence. I have bad experience with XL driving all wheels thru big drivetrain. Even if you can reinforce all gearing - gear will break:) I have much to redesign in Boss with Technic designers before it will be final product. Boss is much simplier and based on "certified" chassis that was tested 7/24 then improved and tested again many times by lego before they present us 9398. All this test was real, not in LDD. I dont wanna tell that your idea is fail, but i advice to find the way to test you chassis and made more research before CUUSOO. As I sad we have much to improve in Boss - and that was only body. I cant imagine how it is hard to make chassis that will be accepted by TLG for particular set. But whole idea of Enforcer is awesome, I agree and repect how you present it this time. Keep working on this project. Just more patience and hard work and you will hit the target;)

About top100 - information directly from TLG technic team. Thats true. Another question: If I have 2,3 or more models at top100 - how many prizes I will receive:1 or according to quantity of my top100 models? 100 crawlers is small summ in comparison to its year revenue - 3,5 billion $, production cost about 1 billion and another 1 billion for sales and distribution expenses. That is official financial information from lego.com. Using that logic I guess that Boss crawler with retail price for example 250$ will cost in production not more than 100$. So 100$x100pcs = 10 000 $. Thats very small price for such effective marketing campaign. One issue of 20 second Video advertising at any top Tv channel can be much expensive than those 100 crawlers:) Hope you will like our final result

Dokludi 2 appeared here:)

Huge work was done! Very impressive. I am going to vote for it! P.s. Can I critisize it?

We have not much time, but your cool ideas about particular elements of body can be heard, and don't forget about stickers. Sad, but we cant change chassis color schema, cause of some internal processes at TLG. May be it is because if automatized sorting and packing of details.
