    Sounds like your drive train is blocked. Axles bend and spring back.

    Do the XLs make it slower? Can the gearing be changed? Would it be possible to convert it to run with just the single XL under the hood? Two seems a tad over powered :P I guess there isnt room for a center diff but who cares. Also, please make instructions if it isn't too much of a chore.

    Nice! Looks bloody amazing for a medium scale fully studless model. Usually I don't like stickers you have made them look so good and natural that I can't be nothing but impressed. The placement of the electronics is pleasing, nothing looks out of place. 4wd and full suspension is great as well, liking that rear axle :)

    The only gear I think is too weak when made from plastic is the 12 tooth bevel gear. There is no way to brace it more when its inside a diff. I guessl UV joints is another part that cant really be made more sturdy by building around it. After enough torque they break and that's it. Lego could make an "advanced, use at your own risk" parts set with some aluminium parts for AFOLs who like to push Lego to it's limits. I'm not sure but how well do metal parts "stick" together? Plastic+metal I can see working but metal+metal might just slip away.

    How did you get the angle for the spring? Post a pic without wheels, please! I'm very interested to see how you solved that.

    I say cut of the rest of the axle holes and instead attach 3 long axles to each end of the joint. This way the twisting part would be 1 long and much easier to use. (might be tricky to shape by yourself)

    Lego made a set for the truck trial/crawler people. I think a GBC line would be a great move. Some of those bigger machine videos have gone viral and no doubt could the sell it. It encourages cool mechanics and own desings so it fits well to the lego theme. It would make those darn balls cheaper too. Why did lego do a diffrent sized balls for bionicle? (Think they used those in nxt2 aswell) The bigger size doesn't fit so good between parts. edit: It could be similar to what creator is.

    Can someone explain why it would be great? Obiviously it is stronger but what else? I'd rather have a 3x3x3 diff gearbox, possibly with metal gears. Most of the time the large size and needed bracing makes the current diff hard to use and yours seems even bigger.

    Hah ! Saberwing beat me to it by a couple minutes. Ldd is funny sometimes, build this (or that) and view the building instructions. Also D3K speaks or rather visualises the truth.

    I'm not sure but does the truck have outriggers? So prehaps those. I really like the sort of mid-scale you are going for. Which wheels are you going to use? Maybe you could post a picture with them to see the proportions of the axle better. Also is the logging truck completely abandoned?

    Dang it! I didn't remember that one and my search skills didn't help either. Merging would be a good idea. I'm sorry! On the topic though, I often find my self thinking,"I can't make this work without some part I don't own." Then again I might just suck at building MacPherson struts are something I've bee experimenting lately and I think the hardest part is mounting the shock to the hub. My suggestion would make it easier as it would lock the angle of the shock absorber. Current absorbers are hard to connect solidly.

    Every itme a new part is released the forum starts a discussion on its usefulness and such. I was wondering, what sort of new parts would you like to see in production. Please share your ideas! Here are a few of mine: A shock absorber that has axle (or pin) holes in both ends facing away from each other. I made a fantastic picture to visualise this. This would allow things like MachPerson struts to be easier to build. PF radio reciever and radio controller. IR just isn't good enough. Especially outdoors, though technically lego isn't meant for outdoors anyway. Diffrent sizes of clutch gears for better and more realistic gearboxes. Narrower wheels and proper offsets inside. These add realism and make things a bit easier. Sorry if this thread isn't orignal.

    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=190+euros+to+us+dollars about $245 (usd)

    Ooh! I like this way more than the previous crawler body. The thing on top of the dashboard a possible polarity switch for the winch? Also, what is the orange behind the seats?
  15. skppo
    Nice start. Forklifts often have rear-wheel steering, so maybe try that in your next version.
  16. skppo
    I wish lego made a power functions radio reciever and controller. Driving a car with this sort of power via IR will be tough.

    ... That front end is so sweet. Exellent job with the panels. Waiting for more. Can someone animate the hinge, please ?
  18. skppo
    *crosses fingers for a sliding gear* I have a hard time figuring out a "offical looking" solution without new parts.
  19. skppo
    4 of my pf m-motors have a similar problem. I don't think I've burnt a single one. All are connection problems. I think those might be my own fault for not being too careful.
  20. skppo
    It seems to have the same channel system so I think it would be moronic not to have it PF compatible
  21. skppo
    It depends on the quality of the print. simple parts (6L thin liftarm in yellow) could be easily printed with todays prices, though the might not fit as well as real parts. The speed that the price of 3D printing has gone down makes me really exited for future. I, as a purist, wouldn't use them for lego but for other projects maybe.
  22. skppo
    It's just an illusion, sadly. If you look at the steering, 1st and 5th axle have the same angle and so do 2nd and 4th. The middle axle is straight. This, with the outrigger in the way, makes it seem like there is a bump under the middle axles. Or that's how I see it. Also is what are the wheels on the Monster Truck? I don't recognize them.

    Yeah, nearly 9 million copies of minecraft has been sold on PC/Mac alone. I doubt the school has that many students
  24. skppo
    I think this is the wrong section. Anyways, lego won't produce it if it won't sell. This has no market outside one school so...

    The thing I love the most is that the treads work when it turns. The mechanism is really neat. Basically it recognizes the size of the block with a diffrential "overflow" for the grabber. Also, the shifting mechanism at 1:30 with the rubberband and pegs is genius
