    I have some selected parts from the good old days in my collection, and heaps more stored in my parent's garage.. The parts I've found to be useful, are mostly fairly specialized parts, that there aren't any modern counterparts to. Examples are the square bottomed pneumatic cylinders (both first and second generation), the rotor head/swashplate from Whirlwind Rescue and Nighthawk sets, as well as some old style toothed bushings along with the old type of toothed toggle joints, that lett you attach things to axles in angles you cant with the current parts. Also, I have all my flex system parts, although I have never found a use for them in my MOCs over the last two years. I do have some plans for them though In addition, I have several micro motors, which I also haven't used as much as I thought I would

    Epic build! One of the best looking "diorama" style MOCs I have ever seen! :thumbup:

    Apparently everyone are these days, including you government

    Did you build the B-model yet? Looks original indeed, could almost resemble a mine clearing vehicle

    You're right, didn't see that video. But if that is the final version he used, then there is no way to prevent the tangling of wires, unless there is a support coming up through the turntable, holding the batterybox in place, allowing the entire superstructure to rotate around it. However, on the final version, he has placed all three IR receivers on the top, so if the motors are in the chassis, that would mean two wires going through the turntable, and there is no way to prevent twisting of cables then. @legomania94 you could try this: Seeing as the creator is Italian, you should have no problem explaining your wish to him

    Probably similar to the 8043, by routing two axles through the turntable using either clutch gears and a driving ring, or a 4L differential
  7. D3K
    Interesting, they clearly used the new type of 3L worm gear on the one from the toy fair, but on the production model Sariel has got his hands on they have reverted to the old 2L type

    Double post, sorry about that, but maybe if you use this part (red) instead of the two connectors with a 2L axle between them, you woul lock the top in place I think

    I like where you are going with this , but at a glance, I would say you have to reinforce and brace the front axle assembly a lot. I have never built a crawler, so I am by no means an expert on the matter though

    Looks really great, especially with the gold rims IMO!
  11. D3K
    So you want the output of the motor to be in paralell with the actual axle, sort of like this: ? Or is there something I'm not getting
  12. D3K
    That is 90 degrees to the axle? aka perpendicular I don't quite follow what you are aiming at... Maybe a picture of your little truck woult help clarify things?

    With modern parts, I don't think you can get much simpler than this:

    Cool! Albeit a little slow=)

    Again, fantastic MOC, and awesome compliment to the Zastava! Especially like the case of beer!
  16. D3K
    If you mean the with the 12 tooth single and double bevel gears, that are driving the actual turntable, it is attached with an 8L axle with stop going through a lot of axle holes, so that shouldn't be a problem

    Thanks, I think I might have to enlarge the tracked chassis a little.. ...and it's going to have yet another section! Also, here are some pictures of the Madoca's Supercar GT/R RC MOD Some minor exterior differences, mostly due to lack of parts. The area immediately in front and above the rear wheels had to be changed, as the RC Buggy motors take a bit of space. Also, the distance between front and rear axles is lenghtened by one stud, as I didn't have the patience to rebuild the chassis when I noticed Rear has different taillights (lack of proper parts), exhaust (it is after all an R-edition), and a retractable spoiler of different design (lack of parts). Here you can see the front independent push rod suspension, as well as the motors' placement in the rear. Both rear wheels also are sprung independently.

    I gave up trying to make a good looking white race car du to lack of the proper parts, and instead fitted Madoca's red supercar body on top of my RC chassis, with some modifications.. I made a Madoca's Supercar R, sort of Pictures and a video will follow Also, I am making something pretty huge, and I hope to actually finish it this time! The small one is for scale
  19. D3K
    Fantastic car! Absolutely beautiful! :thumbup: I especially like the engine bay!
  20. D3K
    I ran into that exact problem using the exact same parts making a similar setup, but without steering last year, and ended up cutting two 3L axles into 2,5L ones

    I think it's the same for most people: When they spek of "their dark age" they mean the period from leaving Lego as a kid, up till rediscovering it as adults. When they speak of the "Lego Technic Dark Age", it usually refers to the period in the '90s of which you speak

    First of all, it's not supposed to be a dozer; it's a tracked tractor (a track-tor?). The fork in the front, I suppose, is thought to be equipment for lifting and moving bales of hay. If you want to make a medium sized dozer, how about the 42028 to be released later this year? I made a decent replica of it which you can check out here.. I also made an LDD model of it, which you can download here, as well as motorized version here.. The build is really quite simple, and if a dozer is what you want, I would imagine this is a better solution than modding the 42006 B-model

    Unconventional indeed! I like it!
  24. D3K
    Linky There are videos as well

    That is indeed a fantastic looking model! Never seen an engine bay like that on a Technic model in this scale! Pipasseyoyo has made some other great MOCs as well!
