Hey all, I ran across this cool post on Brickshelf, by user MBMC137. He is a Hungarian TruckTrial builder. Anyways, He took the Gray T-piece off of the insides RC steering unit, and is using it for a separate piece. I find it a very useful idea! Here is what he said: "I took out this piece from the Black Electric RC Race Buggy Steering Unit - BL number 6282. This can be used as a 4x3 T liftarm. You can take this out without damage." His Pictures: If you want to see more, here is his Brickshelf Gallery. Cheers!

Very ambitious project! I would LOVE to see it in real pictures My only worry is the pneumatics and M-motor and such not having enough power for that massive sprayer! Also, use the offroad motorbike tires in the real model I wish you the best of luck!

You can create sub-folders in the unjailbroken 4Gen iPod... Yea! LDD would be great!

Looks like I fall under the "dont give a s-BEEP" category. I wanted to capture it fast, and I forgot to turn it sideways. I'll try & do better in the future... Haha:) I am going to see if she does it with a different truck or not... I think it's the combination of moving & the motor noise You stole my thunder :P

I always like to listen to SKRILLEX when i build... Skrillex is Dubstep techno music... for some reason, the sound of it helps me build better! hahahaha its not only you....

Its okay Sariel , I have your gear calculator page in a Bookmarked Icon on my Ipod's "LEGO Folder"

i think i will keep out of this disgreement...

Maybe like a Jeep SRT8!

Hey all! I just finished building MY version of Zblj's TrialTruck #9 and, it is red, and pretty "pimped-out"! But anyways, I was taking a quick testdrive down the hallway, into my bedroom... Only to be discovered by my curious 9-month-old Kitten, Tanya... Watch the video to see what happens! *EDIT* Please Click the long link below... Isnt she so cute??? That was her first encounter with a Lego Technic RC Trial Truck! :wub: oh! and one more thing... If you havent subscribed to my YouTube yet, PLEASE do. I have 93 subscriber right now, and I am trying to break the 100-mark. Thanks SO much

the styling is super! but independent suspension doesnt belong on a jeep... however, it is all you had to work with, so i guess its great in this case...

Welcome Nick! I have some idea of what you are trying to build, but i think there are severalways to go about it. Do you want a "Stewart platform"? of do you want a simple 2-axis platform with a front-back-left-right tilt? If you want the latter, you can use a worm gear application. If you want to do that, just set 2X of the above on each side of the baseplate as your model. Then, make a mount that fits on the + of the axles of the 24T gear. after that, put 2 triangle-worm gear application on that mount. then you mount the top platform on the 2nd axis I hope you kind of get my idea of putting one wormscrew axlix down on the board, and using the axle outputs to mount the other axis...its hard to explain. But I hope, as a engineer, you will catch my drift. Good Luck!

What's the average brick link price?

Simply Amazing! I supported!

Hey everyone! As I was building a RED VERSION of Zblj 's Trial Truck Version 9 , I decided to experiment a bit with seats. As I Did that, I had a idea of making folding seats, like in the new Jeep Wrangler JK, in a Lego version. So, after I put in a top-frame-cross-brace, I put in seat brackets, along with the seats. Then, all I did was attach a pin connector to the insides of each seat, and put a 4-L Axle with Stop, and a small thin liftarm for leverage to pull the axle in & out of the cross-brace. (sorry for my run-on sentences. its a bad habit of mine) Anyways... Here, is a video of it in action: My apologies for bad lighing... I shot the video at night. Well, There you have it. Feel free to copy it if you want...

I got that catalog too!

Well, why dont you build each one, tear them all apart, and use ALL of the pieces for a new MOC. Whats the use in building a set and never tearing it apart? And relying on the extra parts not used, as spares??? To me, it doenst make a whole lot of sense. Well, i assume that the 8043 is like most sets... The A-model uses 99.9% of the peices in the the set, maybe excluding a few sall pins and other common stuff. The B-model uses around 85-90% of the sets parts. You will probably still have a few pins, beams, and such left, but nothing too vital to the set... So, i guess what Im saying is, the B-model has more extra parts if that is what your looking for. My advice however, is to build both, and tear them down, and THEN build a new MOC. Good Luck!

AllanP's designs are my favorite:) I used his gearbox in my Supercar, and it worked flawlessly. I am thinking of incorporating the AWD-2wd-difflock in my next trialtruck.

Great moc! Superb compact chassis and phenomenal bodywork. Thanks for sharing the .LXF with us! I am going to build this once I get some panels and spare time :p

That is the best mini figure-scaled vehicle I have ever seen! I tried to get that sporty Toyota look with my Lego tiny Toyota MOC. See my Brickshelf folder for the link, if you want instructions

Oh. My. Gosh. 2 new motors instead of one!!! I am so getting this set!!!

Thanks so much, this is what I like to hear as a builder. Unfortunately, I had a tear-apart fest and all of my creation are now in individual pieces.

Good idea:) I would like to see it used in a motor-on axle trial trick, so you can have enough room on the chassis to do this. Maybe add a 2nd remote & channel so you can multitask? Good luck on the development of this design...

Hmmm... Makes me wonder how this would work in a trial truck... Would the gears pop out of gear and click?

14, almost 15. Thanks for standing up for me, sariel:) Let's not get into this issue again... If he didn't tell you, sinner put me in the isolation chamber, And he put me back out. :)
