Which is why I'm not going to guess

Interesting interesting... I'll let a few others guess first though

Thank you Paul, it was the look I was trying to pull off

3 reasons why I didn't. 1) weight 2)parts available 3) I feel you should be able to see what's going on inside a Technic model

Ok... I thought it really wasn't great... I'll look around and see what I can find

Had a sudden urge this afternoon to make a Rock Crawler. So I did Rock Crawler by legomuppet9, on Flickr Driven by an XL motor geared down 3:1, I used the axles from Sariel's Jeep Rubicon TT (http://sariel.pl/201...angler-rubicon/) and my own middle chassis structure bit. I will confess, I have absolutely no idea how to do the suspension, so I guessed , even so it performs really well as it is so I can't have done too much of a bad job Rock Crawler by legomuppet9, on Flickr Rock Crawler by legomuppet9, on Flickr Rock Crawler by legomuppet9, on Flickr Rock Crawler by legomuppet9, on Flickr Any comments on how I could improve the suspension would be greatly appreciated, as I haven't got a clue

Awesome work as normal Piterx, I like the photos too

Thank you for your suggestions your ideas might work, I'll have a go at implementing them soon EDIT: I have had a go with your ideas. The double bevel gears do help it quite a bit, but I think it may be a case of reinforcing that area as well. As for the gear reductions, I can't find a way of doing it unfortunately... I swapped the XL motor for an M Motor, and that solved the grinding, however the car was quite a bit slower so I've stubbornly returned to the XL motor

Really fast and agile, nice work

I agree with effe great progress so far, absolutely stunning, keep up the good work

Same, I am definitely getting the crane, it's going to be my first flagship I don't really like the truck, I dislike the green and red combination...

What Alasdair said would do the trick, and the compressor is a good idea too And no, I'm not kidding otherwise I would not have said it if you do not like a model, at least offer some constructive criticism as to why you don't like it. I will say it again, this is an awesome model Fresko, as it is nice and compact and well executed for the size, and is accessible for most people to build who have a relatively small Technic collection and pneumatics

Awesome work, it performs as it should however I do agree with Alasdair, it needs a cab otherwise it looks like a robot

Challenge yourself and build it from the pictures it's what makes Lego Technic enjoyable imo

Nice work, I agree with the others

Nice work, but I agree with the others, current setup isn't quite strong enough...

Thank you :-) I normally don't have the patience but this time I preserved and it was well worth it I must say

@Doc_Brown: No I used sheepo's type 1, or the second one displayed in his article (link in main post). @Alasdair Ryan: yeah I normally focused on mechanics rather than aesthetics :-) @VFRacingTeam: Thanks :-)

Thanks think you get the prize for quickest reply ever...

This looks awesome, very accurately built, I like it a lot

I have finally finished my latest MOC; a Rally Car. Developed after my Supercar project failed, this MOC has the following features: Fully Independent Suspension Return-to-center Steering via an M Motor Rear Wheel Drive via an XL Motor (geared 1:1 through a differential) Locking Doors Fake V6 Engine Fully Remote Controlled The Rear suspension is one I found on Youtube by Critycal Jess It works pretty well, except the 12t Bevel gears transmitting the power into the axles do skip a bit when reversing/setting off making a pretty bad noise. But it is very compact for what it delivers and overall I am pleased with it. I attached an XL Motor onto the 24T of the Differential with a 24T gear, so the overall gear ratio is 1:1 The front suspension is the standard steered front independent suspension using the A knuckle arms and Steering arm small (6571 & 6572 on Bricklink). The return to center steering unit is an adapted version of Sheepo's Type 1 (http://www.sheepo.es...er-systems.html) which then is fed to a gear rack 1x2 with ball joints (6574 on Bricklink) with an 8T gear. The result is a compact and reliable setup, also the same width as the rear suspension, which was lucky. After developing the axles I then attached them together in a rigid chassis, incorporating the battery box, V6 engine and IR receiver into the design. Then came, for me at least, the hardest part of the build; the bodywork. It took the longest to build but I am incredibly pleased with the result. This is the first time I have built bodywork like this in one single colour (apart from the door mirrors unfortunately) as it is the first time I've had access to enough parts. I am pleased with the shape and overall look of the bodywork. The weight is also pretty low too to help with the performance of the model and I like the "skeleton" effect by not filling in the gaps like the bonnet and roof etc, so you can see how everything is working, which I feel you should in a Lego model. This is my favourite MOC so far which I have built, I am very pleased the looks and the performance, and it is fun to drive around and distress pets. Pictures and Video: Also, How do you like the edited photos? are they better than previous ones? (you can see them in my Flickr Photostream, link in my signature below) Thanks to Sariel for the Photo Processing Tutorial, very useful and well explained ( http://sariel.pl/201...ssing-tutorial/)

AWESOME work, great job

It is not a Land Rover... Lada Niva perhaps... anyway good model

It is.

It wont because the pivot point of the axle is on the same point across as the A Arms, if that makes sense, explained badly
