I have a manual, it's still common in Hungary. It's no such of a blast... Especially in traffic jams -

Perfect. -
I don't think the opening things are hard coupled. It's more likely that they operate with springs, so a tiny push on some button starts the movement. So opening the hood pushes all the other buttons, but the force is taken from the loaded springs. And this means the things can be opened separately too. But I'm just guessing. Obviously posted before finishing the video It looks like a pretty solib build so far.

Nowadays a few minutes here. Some months ago it was about 5 hours per week. Though it was not Technic but system, realistic space theme MOCing. -

I have a very limited ramge of music I like. Some metal, some jazz-fusion, some psychelic progressive whaterer. Voivod, Soft Machine, King Crimson, Dead Can Dance, early Pink Floyd, casual Metallica/Slayer/Primus. shoegaze, but only Cocteau Twins, some Terje Rypdal. A very few albums from Miles Davis and Frank Zappa. Wide range but only a very few bands from each gerne. -

And even if there could be, tire size is not the best metric. It would discourage crazy entries like this: -

I don't think (hope) that the topic will be as strict as some official monster truck league. More like "something with 4 oversized wheels and a body that resembles cars". So "monster truck" with a more layman/causal meaning. -

I'm in for a free monster truck contest. A B model type, I would skip that. Yup, I have an idea... -

Understandable, but sad. These contests are perfect opportunities to get builders out of their confort zones. But I understand that most (if not almot all) builders don't like to get out of their confort zones. -

Actully, that clutch gear just sucks. I had to change two of them in an old (about 3-4 years old) model. One was too tight the other was too loose.- 5,744 replies

Was there an animal cntest? I remember it was considered a good idea by many members, and maybe I just missed it. -

I'm just guessing here. It might be some fiber reinforced rubber that suddenly stiffens around the half-stud stretch. But we will see soon I guess.- 5,744 replies

Yup, I don't know how much the perspective distortion is, but the spokes assembled into the wheel seem to be half stud longer than the spokes on the table. I'm at work, I cannot attach pictures.- 5,744 replies

Um, I think it is possible that the spokes are actually made of rubber, and and they will be tensioned. Some pixel geometry whizkid should measure.- 5,744 replies

It was among the models that got me into Lego as an adult. Amazing how google doesn't know about you.... Do I remember correctly that there was also a blue monster truck with power puller tires from you @Andrea Grazi? That was one of the other hugely inspirational model for me (obviously my first MOC started to be a crawler)

Be honest, most Lego fans are not interested in custom design MOCs anymore. Even though it was the "standard" a decade ago, it became a niche. Ever wondered why Crowkillers disappeared and Madoca went silent for almost a decade? Even the more hardcore fans are only interested in licenced sets for their shelf. -

Oh man, you are alive! I literally thought you passed away but never dared to check. And a very neat model! Great to have a legend back in business. -

Updated the links, but I can't direct link pictures, and I don't have time now for proper hosting (Brickshelf login doesn't work, so I can't use that either)
