Awesome, what about RCing it?

Thank you. I know that i have to do many exterior improvements, and those ugly studful panels:) Also i need to optimize color palette: red line is because of red angled connectors- where begins door's window frames . I have only red connectors, thats why i have to make a red line across the body. Of course i have made a stud-blueprint to follow real proportions. But Wheels are little bit oversized, also wheel arches oversized and suspension is lifted because of wheels size. I have to work on it.

Well, I have an update. Hope you like it Photos!!!

I have no words.....

What are the characteristics of lipo ? I don t understand: you use 1 lipoly with 1 receiver and 1 buggy motor, or 1 lipo 2 receivers and 2 buggy motors. Which is right?

Everybody relax:) I don`t planned to use all 4 motors at one model:) Ok, and what about using lipol accu from RC models with Buggy motor?

did someone make little cars with buggy motor and PF system? Wanna see how it works...

" Fry" - you mean bb turn on the overload protection or just burning electring?

I was one step from buying nissan silvia/ sx200 when I met my wife. So after that I have no chance to bulid and drift, except lego. My wife support this way So, I ordered 4 buggy motors. Want to make fast light car at 43x20 or 62x20 wheels with rear or 4wd. I dont have RC module. I Want to use existing PF system for remote controlling. May be i have to try light li-pol 11 v from rc models ? I have no any experience with buggy motors. What do you think? Is it possible to make fast car drifting and "dropping out dirt" under the wheels? Who have that experience? P.s. my lovely Wife is better than Nissan

I think 2 xl motors is enough for 8070. Model is heavy, so much power (4 xl's) + weight can destruct axles at acceleration or stalling at obstacle. 2 xl is good but you have to mount it as close as it is possible to driving axle. May be the best place for 2 xl's - at the both sides of 5x7'frame which containing differential. Also it s better not to use diff. If possible try not to use long half axles to each wheel or substitute them by something more hard on roll, for example connectors (2 stud length) with axle holes at ends. (If not understand i can show what i mean) If you have 2 buggy motors you can also test them ( without diff). I think they will be good and very fast for flat surfaces. As for donuts or drifting, wide rubber 8070 tires+ weight = good grip. It is hard to make them slide. You have to make rear axle lighter than front..of coure make the whole construction light. So put battery box close to front axle or under the bonnet substituting V8. And another way to make rear wheels drift: take transparent adhesive tape and cover rear whells by it;) also try using rc buggy motors Good luck. Show us the result

8455 has 81,6 wheels. And crawler will got larger than 81,6 wheels, from 8297 i think.

What are you doing here all tonight? Go launch fireworks!!!

Be cool guys, you don`t have to be so cruel

looking at rear wheel and proportions of wheel/tire, of crawler i found that wheels are 94,8, not 81,6. I have 94 and 81 wheels, so I verify real wheel and picture. What do you think?

Even you don't have a son, you can play lego technic with your daughter:) Just imagine: daughter ask you to build baby-car, and you build whole rc motorhome :) Great moc! P.s. yesterday I'll show it to my wife

I tested chassis with xl motors, but i don't know how to attach motor/-s (saving gearbox and transferbox at frame) close as it is possible to wheels to prevent gear/axle breaking when car drives at obstacles ( weight of model is to big for plastic axles and gears) But there is another way: car is constructed that way that gearbox and transferbox is a one big modul inserted at frame, so it is easily detachable from car frame. Empty space in frame after detachabling transmission can be filled by xl motors and battery block. So RC is possible.:)

Hello, Thank you for comments Here some videos Gearbox Transmission

with v6 and full off-road packet

no , my car is not so exotic, it`s serially produced consumer car. First, I will try to make real-look body, then I can tell the model.

Thank you. Gelandewagen`s front suspension is not independent, as I know p.s.But it`s body is "square" enough to build it easy with lego And I also have a "Mercedes star" sign from well known set

Sorry, no video today. Waiting for your feedback

PROJECT IS FINISHED. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150. Studless 1:9.5 scale model. Finally, glad to present it studless! Body is fully studless Dimension: 67х31х29 cm 52,5х25x23,5 studs Mass: 2480 g. 1) V6 engine connected to wheels through gearbox and transferbox 2) 5+R speed manual gearbox 3) Full time 4WD or RWD transmission modes. Mode can be selected from cockpit 4) Central and rear axle differential can be locked separately from cockpit 5) Working steering wheel 6) Front suspension independent, double wishbone 7) Rear suspension solid live, 4-Link lateral 8) Transformable 5-seater saloon 9) Openable doors, bonnet, backdoor and backdoor's glass There are many other improvements of exterior and interior after first studded version. Mechanics is the same. There are many other things to improve, but i wanna stop. As for motorization: i understand one thing- for driving I have to mount unimogs portal hubs at each wheel. This is the only way to save all gears and joints from destructive torque on such heavy model. I can mount portal hubs atfront suspension with existing Double wishbones But... It is sad, but I cant fit wheel with hub at existing front arches. Wheel is to far from pivot point. Lifting independent suspension is impossible. Thats why offroaders like Land cruiser 105 with its front live axle. Next time i will make something with live axles to motorize it. Building time - 14 months Nature: Controls: Finally, video HOPE YOU LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE;) Many photos here: vk.com/technic_club and here https://picasaweb.go...546517966583677 WIP DISCUSSON IS BELOW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello everybody, I`m Egor, from Russia. I left my dark ages this year after 11 year pause:) I want to introduce you my first big MOC. I was in Europe this autumn for 1 month vacation with my wife and son. So I was surprised how rare big suv`s at your road. May be it`s because of expensive fuel and excellent roads. If you visit Russia you will be surprised how terrible roads are outside the Moscow, and fuel is two times cheap. And it will be not surprise for you that we are drive (or dream to drive) big SUV`s, even if we live in city like Moscow with relatively good roads. So, I decided to build supercar, but not like Porsche or Lambo, but big fullsize frame-based SUV, like we love. Can`t tell you the model I choose (body not ready yet, secret). But, today I can show you the chassis. It`s a frame-based SUV with: 1) V6 engine connected to wheels through gearbox and transferbox 2) 5 speed manual gearbox + R 3) Full time 4WD / Rear WD transmission, mode can be selected from cockpit 4) Central and rear axle differential can be locked separately from cockpit 5) Working steering from steering wheel 6) Front suspension independent, double wishbone 7) Rear suspension solid, 4-Link lateral 8) Moving front seats. You can imagine the scale – wheels from Unimog 8110. Today, without body, it looks like “Test car 8865” or “Auto chassis 853, 8860”. Front Back Rear axle with 2 shafts: main drive shaft and difflock shaft Front open diff Gerabox (right) and transferbox (left) Rear axle: no panhard rod - axle is stable enough. But may be I will mount rod for reality. Front suspension Engine Cockpit Sticks between seats: 1.grey - choose transmisson mode 4wd/rwd 2.red - locks central diff (1st position) or central+rear (2nd position) Articulation is enough for real (stock) SUV ALBUM LINK

And could you tell the TLG`s price for one motor?

How you did that? As a see amazon.fr don't send toys to australia. How? Guys, one from New Zealand, another from Austria. How you do this?
