Thank you for all of the links and information, I'll try and record the ir codes as it sounds the easiest. and see how I go from there...

My new Samsung tablet has an IR emitter and the PEEL Smart Remote app on it and I was wondering if I could control Lego Power Functions via the IR Receiver. I think all I need are the IR codes and then I can probably program the codes into the app myself. Does anyone know what these codes are? Thanks in advance, legomuppet9

I see you are from the UK, I have ordered mine from amazon.co.uk with no shipping at all it hasn't arrived yet but that doesn't matter, as long as it's here before Christmas

This is hard to fault but IMO I think the tail needs to be longer...

I love land rovers.... I am going to make one... At some point...

Have you looked on eBay or bricklink?

To be fair to the guy, they are both modelling the same vehicle so they are going to look similar, however that is freakishly similar....

I think you are right http://www.brickset.com/detail/?set=8074-1 lets say its the only road grader in studless

i thought the union jack was a bit hard otherwise I would have done that...

It has stopped raining enough for me to make my video, although, sorry, it is a bit dark, and very quickly edited: http://www.flickr.co...N08/8200682890/ Part 2: http://www.flickr.com/photos/76710988@N08/8200760714/

No, but it is only connected with four pins. More on that in the video, but its started to rain...

I am proud to present my Unimog U5000. Unimog U5000 by legomuppet9, on Flickr I used Nico 71's Unimog V2 chassis with some minor modifications to accommodate the pieces I didn't have (the most noticeable of which was the steering). Onto that I created my own body, which can be removed in three pieces. It has pendular suspension on the front and rear axles, the rear being supported by hard springs. It is driven by an XL motor geared down 1:15.003. The end result is 217.54 Ncm of torque and 9.7rpm (calculations thanks to Sariel's Gear Ratio Calculator ). The steering is done using an M Motor with a gear ratio of 1:9 and a 16 tooth gear drives a 4L steering rack. An inline 4 cylinder engine is also powered by an M Motor with a ratio of 2:1. The drive and steering is connected to an IR Receiver and the engine is connected straight to the Battery Box.

I quite like photography too...

Awesome review, looks like a great book Sariel Technic for teh win!!

This thing looks huge. How big is it compared to 8265 wheel loader (I think that's the right set number....)

That's what I was thinking

This works well and you have got me thinking about what I can build next after my current project...

I think you are right as on this website: http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Technic, like Scorpion said, the numbering is different, apart from the Grand Prix Racer, which is still 42000

Ordered and getting it for Christmas....

Same for me too. Maybe you ask him to make it public?

Incredible...

Sin of using mega blocks wheels apart from that great cars

You have my vote Great entry and it looks as if it will crawl quite well as it isn't that tall

Great car control

Looks like a good option I had a little play on LDD and couldn't come up with anything better. Just depends whether this is too "3D" for you (by sticking out too far)

Precisely, also the cars of this era were quite boxy so easier to model in Technic For those wondering what the real car looks like (identical to the model pretty much by the way) here are some pictures: http://hondaswap.com/attachments/8282d1218943720-picture-003.jpg http://www.skierpage.com/civic/images/2oclock_low.jpg As you can see, identical to the Lego model!!
