My solution for you: Bzroom's Small Technic Challenge by legomuppet9, on Flickr

Lego has affected everything I do hobbies wise really, main reason: I love machines and how it all works... And yes Piterx, we are all just a bunch of nerds , be proud to be... A Lego Technic Builder And z3-drive, that drawings great, good job

I know, it was just a quick build for a bit of fun

Nice job it looks brilliant

He can sit behind the handlebars if he's skinny enough and the problem with the power functions elements taking up more room than the original set? It's made for fun not looks, as I said in my description....

I had a sudden urge last night to make a fast RC vehicle with suspension. So I decided to motorise the 9392 Quadbike set. It is driven by an XL motor geared up 1.66667:1. This results in a reasonable amount of torque for it's size, and it is very quick. The steering is done via a worm gear and 24 tooth gear assembly, placed above the suspension struts. It is a reliable solution and fits rather well, except for the M Motor poking out of the front. I have retained all the original features (working handlebars, suspension and 1 cylinder fake engine). I changed all the soft springs for hard springs to handle the extra weight of the Power Functions components. I am happy with the result, even though it is very ugly, it is incredibly fun to play with.

First of all, trust me that is definitely not a small collection Your off roader looks great, but you may find that the suspension travel is so much it causes the whole thing to roll sometimes, otherwise great job

Yes, very true

Why do I always agree to everything you say in topics like this... Anyway yes, I prefer the challenge of thinking up your own solution than buying instructions. I will use free instructions to help with ideas, and to be perfectly honest, I'd prefer to buy more pieces than spend money on instructions...

Hopefully, always good to test though, we should take this to PM and stop spamming this topic

Okie Dokie, I just hope I have the right parts for your incoming design

And then can i use it if it works? I could possibly test it if you can't get to your Lego if you want

What he said, and I actually have a similar project in my line up too

A tracked loader? looks interesting and small...

thanks, and thanks for posting the video, it didn't copy across from my blog (has been corrected now...)

I am pleased to present my latest MOC; Tank Destroyer. I was originally planning to build the British A39 Tortoise Tank, however, due to limited pieces I decided to go for a generic Tank Destroyer design. Tank Destroyers are tanks without turrets and with bigger guns, designed for one sole purpose, to destroy tanks. Some examples are tanks such as the German Jagdpanther or the Soviet ISU-152. My tank destroyer's closest resemblance that I know of is the American T18. Anyway enough history, onto the model. It uses two M Motors geared down 3:1, the result is fairly reliable and it has only just enough torque, but does the job for the space available. I have used bogie suspension, which works faultlessly, except for the fact the suspension movement is very small. And finally the exterior of the model, which, I admit, was a bit rushed, however, I am still pleased with the outcome. The performance of the model is pretty good, it isn't fast but then it's not supposed to be, it's a tank. It can do some "off roading" on terrain like snow, grass, soil and Lego. The gears within the drivetrain do slip quite often awful creating the dreaded "grinding noise" which can be annoying at times. Finally a video, (yes it did snow in the UK in March...) I must admit this isn't my best MOC to date, I just wanted to get it finished in the end so I can start on an even better model EDIT: added my youtube video properly...

Great modernization of this interesting looking set

Some more progress on the Tortoise... Some more progress on the Tortoise... by legomuppet9, on Flickr Fenders are now done, gun mantlet is coming along nicely and I've just got the sides, front, back and top of the upper part left...

@DLuders the tow truck looks a lot more European than American so I doubt they took inspiration from that show

Oh i don't know, although I am called "Technic99" on there

Not too keen on the cuusoo idea to be honest, I personally feel that it's a waste of time for Technic creations as to get 10000 votes you need to have a model as complex as Sheepo's Land Rover

Thanks I only have around 5000 parts so the sizes of my builds are limited, but they're still getting bigger all the time

I play World of Tanks a lot too

I am currently building my latest MOC, a model of the British Tortoise tank (This is a render of the tank from a game called "World of Tanks") So far I have completed the chassis and I am starting work on the body. Tortoise Tank WIP by legomuppet9, on Flickr I know it isn't that accurate dimensions wise, I'm working with the pieces I have. I'm just trying to make it look reasonably like the Tortoise
