me too doc :D

hey guys thank you very much ^^ video is coming soon :P it's not gonna be the best video i will make but apreciate i went 30km from home to get to this place lol i also scratched some beams and the L motor....minor thing but i hope these (crappy) pictures could be enough to get how it works...otherwise if you need i can make an ldraw file

thank you very much guys! this is the real thing in the woods :)

thank you guys ^^ you're too kind egor :) actually if i placed the reciver somewhere else there was also enough space for back seats but i wanted it hidden in the body :P

Hi there guys! I can finally show you this model that i've tried to build several times without too much success I don't know if you've ever seen it before, but if you're italian, you'd identify it as an icon... It's the legendary Panda 4x4 by Fiat, a cheap and undestructible city car from the 80s - 90s with great offroad capabilities people still use it and still buy it nowdays because it's just a great car. so here's my lego version of it! Features: - Front and rear live axle - 4x4 - Openable hood and doors - Power functions Measures: 27cm x 12cm x 12.5cm 690g weight It performs really well thanks to the light weight and the absence of differentials...even if it's a small scale model it has "a lot" of ground clearance if you relate it to the wheels i've used. The gear ratio i've used, driven by two L motors, is quite fast and it makes the driving experience funny :D The only thing i don't like too much (but that's not my fault XD) is the steering radius that's quite large...i had to chose if i wanted a narrower radius having some stress on U joints or vice versa ....and i choosed no stress on U joints But anyway it's a feature that i can easily change by just removing the front part, that's connected to the chassis by only two pins, and changing two or three pieces. The short travel suspensions i used are very similar to those i used in my ford fiesta some months ago...the geometry is not perfect but as the travel is only 1 stud it doesn't give any problem. In 2 hours i will take it out for a ride in the itailan countryside so probably tonight the video will be up on my youtube channel... obviuosly i will update the topic once i'll have the video ^^ I hope you like it Pit

the ipad had what it deserves XD

cmon z3 i wanna see how it goes :D so curious!

the red one looks very nice indeed :)

can't wait for it :) im at work on a ultralight...once i'll finish my current 4x4 ill focus on that...i think you'll love it :D

:D im a 99% purist....and you're in that 1% of cases that i totally approve :P looking forward for a demo video :)

couldnt you pay at the delivery guy?

looks like a lot of fun :) well done ^^

the bodywork reminds me of a 50s car (where's Elvis?)

the switch idea is really smart man :) i have the feeling it goes quite fast too isnt it?

as soon as i will have some spare money i promise i will buy one of your engines

lol i think the 80% of us works that way :P

tssk! you tidy guys! watch this !!! (ps there's a spoiler on my next moc :P)

seems to be very performant! any plans for a body?

yeah that would be so cool to use in small scale models :)

i love/hate the servo motor... i love it because it works amazingly well but i hate it because it's too big for small scale models :P but i've just made one of tthe smallest live axles you've ever seen with that motor....i'll show you everything once i'll fiinish my current moc :)

so fashion!

it feels like it will be a really good work man! :) i'd like to see the rear live axle better expecially the attachment to the chassis, seems different than usual ones

so odd and so nice at the same time :)

very nice! better than the original crawler :)

cool mate! thank you very much :) i think i'm gonna get some
