Thanks a lot! And yeah I doesn't look too much like a Beetle but its pretty similar, that was the hardest part of the build for me. ^^ -
Mini Tatra project 8x8
MrNumbskull13 replied to jorgeopesi's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow that looks great and I actually quite like it in black! :) -
I'm looking forward to this, hopefully some pics of the suspension? I am always interested in how people construct tatra suspension in the Lego world!
-
Thanks! Next time I'll get some outdoor clips! :)
-
Ok eveyone here is the video! Enjoy!

Trial Truck "Rhino"
MrNumbskull13 replied to 1nxtmonster's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yeah I saw the video this morning! One question though, what's so good about internal gear reduction? -
I actually painted the 56 rims too (I think). I used a company called Rust-Oleum's "direct to plastic paint"
-
Thanks, I think I'll put a video up in a few days.

I've sprayed wheels before and it turned out really good, I sprayed them black with a plastic paint that required no undercoat. As long as you do it in lots of thin layers with enough time in between painting the next layer you should be fine.

I thought it was 8x8... -
Panther
MrNumbskull13 replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Wow, excellent performance! But the old tires made it look like something from formula offroad. ;) -
Ok I've finished the body, here is a link to my Flickr for y'all to have a look. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/92293857@N05/
-
Aww, well I hope this one goes good!
-
Well, I got a little work done today. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/92293857@N05/8745590138/
-
I like it, I think your's will have better aesthetics though. :)
-
Well I don't usually build on Wednesdays so there won't be any more progress today (apart from a drawing I did at the back of class ;))
-
I can't wait to see the physical version, but why L and not M motor for steering?
-
Haha, thanks I guess. ;D
-
Thanks. Maybe this pic will help too: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/92293857@N05/8738486159/ Also, I started building the body today, it's gonna be red with a white bonnet and boot lid. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/92293857@N05/8739605596/ Not the greatest picture but its the best I could get as its getting dark outside.
-
Yes it's quite high but the centre of gravity isn't too bad. It's the only way I could mount the battery box without the M Motor hitting it when the suspension compresses.
-
Yeah actually! The final gearing is 1:3 but because of it being very light it still crawls even better than any of my other MOCs
-
Hi all, I just thought I'd start a topic to document my current project. I've built a chassis and I just need to add the final touches to it. After that I'm going to start (trying) to make a body. I'm thinking of making a classic VW Beetle style body but we'll see how it goes... Link to photos on my Flickr: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/92293857@N05/

I hope you are being sarcastic Eff...
-
Oh wow that is absolutely perfect! I'm jelly ;) haha, I can't wait for the video!

I like the mudgard idea but are you sure you need brakes? I think they would be pointless in this as it doesn't look heavy enough to need them.
