    It is quite the natural look of such buggies. Very cool MOC, I really dig this!

    Great, enjoy the journey of building!

    The good news is, you don't really need u-joints, or cv-joints to make a motorized model, just focus on rear wheel drive, front can be steered only. Honestly, in the scale of the 42093, suspension doesn't add much, especially if You want to enjoy the speeding with the juice of Buwizz. Keep it simple, and drift it! My advice is than, that build a very simple chassis, no body or suspension at all, just to see how the motors can be placed, and how you can bracket those properly. This will give You some ideas, and most importantly: some success. Than You can go for more complex build, and You will find yourself in a flow, where you find the fun side of building. If You go for a very complex build for the first try, might be the necessary trial-error process will demotivate You - which shall not be the result of any hobby. Small steps. I recommend to study the Building Instructions for smaller official sets, like 42022, 42075, 42037. You will find motorization for these on Youtube / Rebrickable for sure as the next step. Here is also a useful topic, includes a lot of advanced solutions for the future MOCing: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/92099-axle-collection-thread/

    Don't feel bad, it was actually funny, I hope You see this side of the story too. U-joints are exactly 3 studs long, and create 1 stud offset - so just replace the current setup with 9 or 10 long axles, or even better with a combination of axles of 5,5 L + 4 (or 5) L axles, connected with axle connector, to prevent sliding out from the differential. As a ususal design (3L axle coming from diff - axle connector - 5.5L):

    Hmmm, looks like a fell asleep quite deep, are we at TC21 already? If we are still at TC18 to date, please note, that no electronics is allowed. EDIT: also, the u-joints in the rear axle have no use, but make the power transmission less effective, as they are unnecessary weak points there.

    Can't really decide, but for me the one with the small curved panel and bionicle teeth is more coherent. Or You could test another classic solution, built by beams, and small panels on the sides (paralell to the mudguards). For the Mustang wheels: don't you have the 43.2x22 tires to fit on? Fire extinguisher: look at 42094, it has a very nice solution.
  7. agrof
    15 kgs? I am even more impressed...
  8. agrof
    I am one for the panel doors, small extinguisher, Mustang wheels. And also I would change the HOG for perpendicular gear connection inistead of the u-jounts: more stable, less slack due to better bracketing possibilities.
  9. agrof
    +1 to the above. I am wondering if the HOG gear could be replaced by a simple lever (half liftarm 2L or 3L)... might be worthy to try in real build.

    Found some more nice pictures here: http://motori.quotidiano.net/fashionwheels/curiositamondoauto/ducati-panigale-v4-r-lego-technic.htm Looks a bit pregnant, but overall I believe it is well replicated within the constraints of Technic. Also, I like the idea of the easy removable panels, to admire the heart of the machine (can be seen high res on LEGO website):
  11. agrof
    This is jaw-dropping beauty. Respect for the effort and for the attention for details.
  12. agrof
    Maybe a bit strange proportions (due to high suspension, it looks more like a Multistrada), but I am sold on this one... and a second copy is a must have to build a Monster. Looks like an excellent model!
  13. agrof
    Yepp, but I am sure, You can squeeze in a steering wheel too!
  14. agrof
    Like your modifications, glad to see people are having fun with my rod... well, it sounded more correct in my head.
  15. agrof
    He can link photos.... but @Desno_HD how big is your foot?
  16. agrof
    Hi, they meant, that don't use Eurobricks for picture hosting (to upload here), as this site is not meant to be a hosting server - hence the size limit. You can create easily an account on Bricksafe, upload your pictures there, and link them in the topic in proper size (max 1024x768 pixels) - then we don't need magnifying to check your build. Hope this helps.
  17. agrof
    It is not color vomit, it is actually Toyota racing stripes. Looks perfect here! Maybe the license plate... 1x3 or 1x4 tile instead?
  18. agrof
    +1 in the amazed group. Good to see, that you got rid off the rubber bands, and the steering gear mesh is really nice!
  19. agrof
    The front is not my cup of tea ( I think it is the front lights and the big nose panels), but the rear angle view is very stylish, has some nice organic flow. Also, fitting 2 Technic figures is such a great addition, adds very good vibe to it. Edit: do You plan to enter the Dirt pick-up to the contest? There is still plenty of time. Oh, just read the rules again: one entry per member. Than, still worthy to show in details.
  20. agrof
    Upside-down cheese tile, connected to half pin. It does look great, I have only 2 concerns: how stable is the roof? Isn't it a bit system heavy for the contest? I don't mind the second much, as it is a fantastic looking MOC.

    Hope this helps:

    Hmmm, maybe something like this (bit stressed)? It is on Rebrickable now.
  23. agrof
    @Limga it is only about rigidity and robustness. Though #1 connectors indeed can work and look better, but it would bug me always, that I left one unlocked constraint in such an essential and stressed feature. I find myself usually in the challenge to solve such possible issues. Part of my mind game. The proposal of @I_Igor is also a possibility, good find.
  24. agrof
    Great to see that you found the solution! There is always a solution...
  25. agrof
    Thank You guys! I breathe simplicity (both by nature and by profession).
