    Love the front, but the whole shape is very smooth. :thumbup: Have You tried very small black panels instead of the half beam on the front lights? I find 4 XL a bit overkill... but it is yellow like a dozer, so why not.

    Building Instruction is ready, You can download from here. I am not sure if the inventory is perfect, if somebody would double check, it would be nice. The quality is not the best, this is what I could achieve with my up to date equipment and knowledge. Every comment, critics are welcome, I will correct if something is not understandable or missing. If one builds or even improves it, please share the result here! Enjoy! RC4WD tires - I didn't modified anything, pop on, squeeze around the perimeter, till it lays equally around, that's it.

    Hi nagybirek, your argument is very reasonable, and I agree (and shame a bit) about the hectic of the topic... My apologise for this, next time I will pay extra attention. Pictures are set back in the first comment - I also found 2 pictures extra about the very first sketch model. The first video had not much additional information - except, that how slow with the XL-motor version was (in ~4 seconds), this is the cause why I deleted.

    One of my favorite in this contest... sleek and clean with all the functions. I would only add more steps for the ladder. Luckily it is getting harder and harder to vote - this goes for every participant!

    I like the creative solutions in this. Very good job!

    I like this moc a lot, very good replicated, good proportions! Would it be possible to build drivechain from the base trough the crane arms to the actuators, to make them work? That would top this sculpture!

    Thanks! The rear arms are indeed not as rigid as live axles, there is a few mm "wiggle" as You say, but overall I am surprised too, how durable it is (experienced on stair runs). Only "normal" driving will not destroy them, and some roll-overs neither. edit: the arms themselves are pretty stiff, "wiggle" meant in mounted status, relative to the chassis. Small turntables... this is a great idea, didn't think about them. Maybe someone else will give a try, soon this concept will be "open source", I would be happy to see more and more Class Ones!

    Aaaand finally... the V3 is ready! It is bigger (not) It is faster (not) It is better - YES! Let me summarize what happened here: My goal was to create an anatomically correct (at least in appearance) Class 1 buggy, which means agressive insectoid look, RC, realistic soft independent suspension, the rear one was really challenging: It was a long way, but as seen in the video, finally there was a solution for this, I dare to say, the suspension system makes this model unique in the MOC world - at least I couldn't find any other replica. I also wanted to use PF elements only, resulting application of 2x L motors, 2x IR receivers, 2x Leds, AA Battery box - the most common parts nowadays. As we have only 2 pcs of motors built-in, I wanted to reduce the weight as much as possible, the target was, to stay below 1500 gramms. The design was a driving factor, and (Holy Lego!) I sacrificed a bit, there is indeed illegal technic used (one in the rear suspension area, second on the nose). These are just very gentle bends, nothing, what would damage the parts. with the V3 buggy I achieved the next: saved 25 gramms total compared to V2 - 1481 gramms inclusive BB much more details completely redesigned front positive caster angle added to find stickerless color combo (ok, I couldn't resist to use the "agrof" sticker ) part colors picked to pop-out the shapes, details, or absorb where needed to increase building experience and of course: blue seats I am working on the Building Instructions, hopefully in the next days it will be ready... but now: pictures! Enjoy! More pictures in my Bricksafe folder - see link in my signature.

    This is just MAD. The only thing what I can criticise a bit: too much black absorbs the really nice details on it.

    I like panels a lot, of course they should not hide the mechanics completely. For me the perfect combination was the 8043. I dont think using panels is less challenging, and they do add more realistic appearance, which is a way of evolution need to be done to reach new standards and needs nowadays. I really hope, Sariel will make reviews for new sets. :)

    Very good atmospheric video, thanks for The Adventure! :thumbup: I am afraid, I have just got inspiration...
  12. agrof
    Top notch!

    Nailed it! Don't be afraid to disassemble the front suspension, and start a new way to solve the issue... this is what I've learned in my moc. And finally the 15-16th version worked!
  14. agrof
    Nice compact outrigger + suspension solution, for me looks like essence of Technic. Love it!

    Thank You 2LegoOrNot2Lego! Some patience please, I still didn't get the required parts from Bricklink. Also as it will be my first try to create Building Instructions... I need to take a day, the question is: when? @kozso198700: just start another build, I can not name a release date, I hope the result will let forget the waiting... I promise it is worth to wait... V3 is coming!

    Hi, I am on design development, the goal is to keep the weight under 1500 gramms (for enjoyable playing experience), add some details, and make it more user-friendly in building experience. Currently I am waiting for some parts from Bricklink. Hope I can finish soon, and I will create Building Instructions (photos). @kozso198700: tervben van, amint kész lesz, posztolom ide.

    Thank You, very inspiring! :thumbup:

    Hello, I like this alternatve, especially the crane part. As suggestion for next alernative: once i sarted to build a grader from this set, the boom section is very useful for the front of it, I was maybe 70% ready, just life happened, never finished... no pictures, sorry. Still I believe, 8053 is a very good base for a grader.

    As promised, I tried to make a longer demo video. Sorry for the picture quality, this time this is the best from my equipment. There is quite a lot happened, basicly the complete back is re-built. The result is surprisingly robust, and the suspension works great. I achieved my goals: like the look, realistic independent suspension, PF elemets only, easy access to battery box, some details... Maybe it is not perfect...but for me IT IS! Pictures with details will come... and if I find the time, maybe BI too... but be aware, there is a tiny twist (a marginal stress in build) against purist, but as it doesn't cause damage, I am OK with it. (The rear suspenion support makes less than half stud stress.) I hope You enjoy!

    Very original idea.. again! Love it!
  21. agrof
    http://www.thenxtste...helicopt3r.html This popped out from my memories... something bigger, with PF, manual operating...??
  22. agrof
    Beautiful bodywork and chassis (as usual)! I think i need to build this... The drivetrain problem seems to be causing headache not only for me, hehe. Time for new RC motors Lego!
  23. agrof
    Agree, looks very promising, I would also decrease the speed, therefore you will win a lot of torque.
  24. agrof
    Good looking, nice details, clever solutions... do we need to say more?

    The donor sets were indeed 9398 and 42000, but there are many other parts used. Finally i have got a small packet with L-motors in it... I will gladly present the result later (I will be offline for next weeks), till that here is a small teaser.
