    Thanks everyone! The manual and electric pumps are for better playability - the electric pump is best for the front arm functions and outriggers, and the manual is best for the rear arm, but you can activate any function with both pumps.

    Thanks, it was a huge dilemma at first about what functions to pack, the rear sliding mechanism takes a lot of space. Initially it was meant to be 3 steering modes and manual pump only, but I eventually thought that this layout is less practical and decided to add a motor pump instead for better playability. So its a trilemma - steering modes, differentials + engine, electrics - pick 2. What would you pick? Clicking is a no no for me as well.

    I don't really see any problems with that setup when the model is not driven by a motor, the brown 3L axle locks the gear so it doesn't come off, and there is no stress nor friction driving the dummy engine. However, Im thinking about making a motorized RC version (instead of motor pump), and for that I will definitely have to replace the 20 teeth.

    Thanks! I use them for the front because the gear rack interferes with the 1 stud wide, it is inserted with a 3L brown pin with stop so that it wont slide off. For the back I use the same method just for symmetry.

    Hello everyone! Today I would like to present you my latest and most complex MOC up to date - Pneumatic Backhoe. Features: - Steering operated via steering wheel - 4 cylinder engine with 4WD and central differential - Both manual and electric pumps - manual pump can be detached for more convenient use - Suspended driver seat +360 degree rotation - Rear arm linear movement - All the pneumatic functions Video coming soon. Cheers, Shimon

    Actually seeing these mechanisms a few years ago made me try come up with a better solution because this mechanism has both a high floor, wide doors and the cheese slope gap, the idea is to come up with something as compact as possible. Im not a train builder so I don't know if you guys pay attention to such details..

    Thanks everyone! The steering gear was chosen to be 20T just because its the most convenient to use, the rear wheel sounds like a great idea though! will try it out. The rear suspension works a bit differently and thus required a better solution due to little space caused by the steering gear.

    Have a motor in your locomotive and make a drivetrain through every wagon with u-joints, there is a youtube video of something similar. About the second one, I got very disappointed with 8 studs wide trains, even though it seems a perfect fit for the rail width but each wagon is very big and long, rendering the curved tracks useless

    Thanks everyone! About the activation mechanism, it is really a dilemma for me because using motors will require solid connection between wagons, same with pneumatics, so Im thinking the best way would be via a knob or a lever on top of the wagon.

    Hello everyone! Today I would like to present you the mini Humvee: It features steering, suspension and has a solid technic body.

    Thanks everyone! Here is the video: The tank holds a crew of 4 people, and the battery box can be removed to add more troops. It took me roughly 3 weeks of work.

    A compact train door mechanism solution for 7-8 wide trains, it is still a work in progress. Wondering what is the most convenient way to activate it, share your thoughts!

    Features RC PF drive and has interior.

    Hello everyone! I would like to present you my latest MOC, the IDF Eitan AFV. It features working steering and fully independent suspension. The challenge was to find a compact solution for the suspension Video on suspension https://imgur.com/tfROwWy

    @Cumulonimbus Sorry for the delay, tried to fix the file to make it as clear as possible despite LDD limitations. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Vibj8MmxXqd5rgWL4FqAtQlfcIMvTO9a

    I do, will upload soon.

    My reverse engineered version of the 42078 trailer: 20171121_164424 by legoferrari430, on Flickr 20171121_164435 by legoferrari430, on Flickr 20171121_164457 by legoferrari430, on Flickr The functions work great, the outriggers mechanism is pretty clever, the usage of friction pins on the crane however, gives it a little squeecking sound. Did not add some parts due to lack of them ( 11X3 panel in greed/red), winged panel. Great design overall, might attempt the truck itself next.

    Thanks for the comments! I will make a building instructions video soon!

    Hello everyone! I would like to present you my latest MOC: The mini forklift Features: - Working lif - Steering - Lift tilt via lever The challenge was to make the lift operatable from the vehicle even while tilted, having no space for standard mechanical solutions made me think about another solution: A string mounted on an axle that allows certain linear movement in both directions. Luckily the 41L string with studs fits perfectly allowing the movement range needed. Video:

    Thanks! Thanks! The rear susppension uses shock absorbers, the blue rubber band is for more stability only. The front suspension rubber bands work well, and are not going through too much stress, i might try to find a front shock absorber solution, Thank you very much! :) Thanks! Thanks!

    Thanks for the comments guys! I didnt know scale modeling forum exsist, anyway this can be closed as ive made a new post there

    Hello everyone. If some of you remember i have presented the first version of the AC cobra 427 to share the concept and gather feedback. It is now modified and on LEGO Ideas. The car scale is 1:14, measuring 33 studs long and 13 studs wide (15 on wheelbase). The features are as follows: - has working steering via an adjustable steering wheel. - mini working v8 through a differential. - independant front and rear suspension - openable hood via a lever on the dashboard - openable doors and trunk - very sturdy and solid build This can be the first Idea set that has lots of Technic features. If you like my idea, please support. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/cf0541fd-a421-45e1-ba80-cfa9b97c07e8

    Hi I present you my latest solution for opening train doors The mechanism is operated by a gear and the current setup is suited for 8 wide trains. However, this can be applied to 7 wide too and im working on a solution to place the operating gear on top.
