The military tire looks good. They are similar to the tractor tire. The reinforced side wall sounds sturdy, I wonder how much weight it can handle. Would there be any hope for The largest RC Tire on earth! The Demolisher Specification: Outer Diameter: 9.6" (244mm) Width: 5.37" (136.6mm) Inner Diameter: 3.8" (96.52mm) Reinforced sidewall support X5 sticky compound Weight: 974g/34.4oz (each tire with foam)

Good question. I would have used a 104 .1uf 50v ceramic capacitor. This capacitor is known as decoupling capacitor and is connected in parallel with the dc motor. Having this capacitor will increase the commutator and brush life on the motor. No, I don't know the motor that was in the original XL motor.

I finished making the motor wire connectors. I used two electrical connectors with the fork terminal to connect with the push-in terminal on the motor. I strip a Lego extension wire and solder the ends. I bent one of the forks on the electrical connector over on the black wire locking it down. Then I wrapped the exposed wire over the fork terminal and solder everything up. I connected the fork terminals up to the motor and then I put some JB weld on it securing everything in place. Edit: I forgot to add a capacitor. I should have connected the capacitor up before the JB weld part. Double Edit: I've finally connected the up Decoupling Capacitor to the motor wire.

Wow, This is incredible. Lots of detail from bumper to bumper. The engine along with the transmission is impressive the only thing missing is the drive shaft to the back tandem wheels. I like how you used the small Lego tires as the air bags. All that chrome does bring it to life.

That big ship model is truly amazing! I cant wait to see the bow finished.

The Droid Developer Kit is the only Mindstorms I own then. I got it because it was R2-D2. The "white micro scout with dark gray base" was just a light controlled motor with a coded flash light game, A Jedi master will understand that. If Lego made a second droid developer kit and was another R2-D2 with the reconstructability, functionality that the previous kit has and was able to control the Power Functions motors and servo, I would buy it.

I will describe this statement in more detail since it is misleading. What I meant is that a better metal motors possibly have been made since the introduction of the 5292 buggy motor in 2002. Not that faster Lego motors have been made since the buggy motor.

When the rubber bands break on the 8213 and you pick it up the tires fall over. I think a green race car would have been better. The 8257 is a good set. I have one and I love all the half beams that came with it.

Is the Droid developer kit consider Mindstorms.

That is interesting. That is awesome sshamsi! That motor that got replaced was a early prototype. Yes that is correct. The replacement motor also has two version PC and SC, I used the PC. The planetary gear box has been change to a 6:1 ratio as well. I have not even tested this motor out with the original gearing 36:1. It is fast but still can be faster. The gear rate from the orange hole output to the wheels is 4.2:1. All 4 wheels have power from the single motor drive.

The 5292 motor was made in 2002 so there is a possibility that it has become outdated and replaced by better motors that have been made.

That is a cool blue unimog. Not nearly as big as the 8110 unimog and still has the wench and the crane on the back. Outstanding.

That is a fast walker almost a runner. I found a video displaying another lego walker. It give reference to Theo Jansen the inventor who discovered these beast.

That is fast. Good luck on this. Keep it light and sturdy.

Cyberslam and Bionicle both had some good sets and there are ones that are fun to play with. It was like Rock'em Sock'em Robots. however since this is worst Technic sets I say sets like this ones below are bad.

How much batteries will this need?

I like the manual clutch. Even though he said to used glue on it. It was a good idea overall.

That is awesome. Keep up the good work. The logging truck drivetrain is incredible.

The bionicle theme was a big mess. I think Lego almost got sued over this one.

@efferman: You have many amazing MOCs through out your thread. Seeing how massive this is getting and if this were to get even bigger in page size, lets say a 100 pages, some sort of navigation must be made you individual MOCs. It could be organised easily from your opening post to link where your MOCs exist inside. What do you think about this?

Well done. I voted for you because you had the terminator attitude with you video. That was bad to the bone.

THE BOSS is awesome. I like how it has the same seats as the crawler.

No problem, Upgrading the motor is not exatlly hard but rather long. Yes there are few parts that require that special touch and delicate hand. Using the XL housing will make for a better axle alignment at higher speeds than a axle-connector JB welded directly to a motor shaft. Thanks again.

Thanks! I am amazed myself at the improvement the motor made. Even though it is geared 6:1 there is some torque behind it, I was able to climb over little ledges and a pile of garden hoses. The XL motor geared 6:1 could not even do that. Thanks for your interest. There are a couple of things that must be understood in order to make the lego motor upgrade happen.The hardest part is the epoxy part. Get some JB weld and mix a little up and get a idea on how to handle it. I use a toothpick and one fact is the ability to put the toothpick inside the holes on the lift arms and apply epoxy inside there. Getting the brass pinion gear off the motor is very easy to do, gravity and fire do all the work there. However putting on the brass pinion gear is the complicated part. I will refine this and detail it out for all to know what I did here. Taking apart the XL motor case is easy when you break the clips off. If you want to do this I would start by improving the XL motor by connecting the planetary sets together and get that perfect then move on from there.

Is there any tractor tires that one could get.
