While I am not a big friend of such body constructions (too disintegrated for my eyes), I understand the idea behind, and at the end You captured the bodywork really well. Like the usage of the U-joints! Technically... no words needed (I wish I could create such solutions...). I hope, we can see that gearbox soon in details.

[LDD Idea] Spinning Gyroscope
agrof replied to sheo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Uuuuuhhhhhh... because: How many small panels? How many pieces? Spaceship? Technic? Yes, please, anytime! :thumbup: -
I just join to the grateful crowd to say thank you to Jim and Sariel (and Jangbricks and BrickBuilder) for the great effort on making the reviews in the past and the future. I really enjoy to read / watch them time to time. I have the most interest for 42050, how the wheelie function is integrated. I am hoping for a surprising fun mechanism (or playing with the center of the gravity), and not just a boring elevator beam with an extra wheel. Oh, and the B-models!

[WIP] Ferrari 458 Speciale
agrof replied to sm1995's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for sharing the WIP pictures - somehow I missed this topic yet... Interesting ideas, nice part useage, I do love the panel work on the door! Whatewer how long this will take, I am pretty sure we all will be pleased. -
Hi, this is just a weekend fun build, I wanted to give a try to build something with pull-back motors and practice some offset techniques, but in larger scale. So don't expect any serious... Hybrid is because: pull-back + working fake engine, let's say fuel cell motor with elecric drive. No steering - don't needed here. Lot of suspension! As assumed, it is quite slow, but weak! - just like the most concept cars, so I think it brings, what it should. Maybe with 4 pull-backs...

Sorry for bumping this, I have added the mod pictures by Madoca to the instruction, can be found here. Also shot couple pictures, just for fun... -
Really good! Love the shape, You captured really well. The details are also very well done. Could we get more technical bits (chassis, driving chain, suspension), please ?

Generic Contest Discussion
agrof replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
As the A/B contest sounds like a long-term one, is it planed to start smaller contest paralel (2-3 mounth long)? I just ask this, because I might participate in a smaller challange... -
Maybe the instructions are not very clear, I see quite lot people having this issue. The 7L liftarm actually should be sunken 1 stud deep into the "foot". I built mine this way, and have neither clearance, nor stability problem. The lowering mechanism works also as it should, without falling apart. Check here, count the holes: http://cache.lego.co...g?l.r2=23574082 and http://www.techlug.f...P/42043/118.jpg

[MOC] Small Supercar
agrof replied to Jurss's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Actually I didn't expected that much after the very first version, but whooohoo! The functions and the rear view in this scale are fantastic, just some detailing with lights, and done. To be a bit on the constructive negative side: I also would like to see a nicer front (maybe very small panels, angled somehow), and I am also not sure about the rim covers - but they give definitely a nice Lambo Countach effect, maybe just a simple color change (to LBG)... but this is only me... never mind! -

I would like to add also an idea into the hut: Pull-back motor(s)! Category 1: vehicles Category 2: alternative functional application - the more unusual/crazy the better I believe this could be a really innovative and fun contest. -
[MOC] BAJA Truck
agrof replied to HorcikDesigns's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi, I follow your work for a while, I really like them, this is also not an exception. I love the design, it is so cute and mean in the same time, the color combination is also a hit. Not to mention that hood solution. Driving performance is really good, and I am really surprised that You could integrate Nyan cat too (sound). I can't get out an idea from my head... This + 2 pull back motors (4WD if possible) = the ultimate jump-fun machine in the living room. -

[MOC] Class 1 unlimited buggy
agrof replied to agrof's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello Madoca, thanks for posting, it is really an obvious twist (literally), this happens, if one sticks at a certain solution... not coming out of that perspective. I just overlooked this, my guess is: the silicone spray what I used to lubricate kept this slight friction hidden. Recommended modification. -

[MOC] Class 1 unlimited buggy
agrof replied to agrof's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow! Now this is a nice surprise and great honour, I also wanted to see these 2 models next to each other! Please feel free to share the modifications, observations in a pro's point of view! (Everything and everyone can / should be improved.) Does the sbrick add something to the performance? Best regards: agrof -
