    You've been the best option to have versatile models with that garbage C+. I'm sorry to hear that LEGO IT crew does not know what to do with their own product.

    An alternative model for 42114 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler Model is completely motorized, with 3 motors, and controlled by official 42114 profile in Control+ app Scaled to dimensions of CAT 834K, with additional features like working fans behind the cab. Drives, steers and elevates the blade. The gearbox from A model has been redesigned, I've removed the parking brake and whole gearbox is much more compact. An additional feature, not present in A model are spining fans behind the cab. Whole model is basically a housing for gearbox, motors and HUB. The blade elevation drivetrain is a little bit complicated, due to lack of second universal joint. Instead I have used several bevel gears on the central pivot.

    It is possible, but the main goal was to have hauler in scale with 42100 :)
  5. M_longer
    Well, Make is correct, everything else is off the proportions. Badly.

    I'd not say that it looks like the real Volvo hauler.

    I'd like to only add here that recreating all those seed feeding pipes for instructions costed me few additional grey hairs...
  8. M_longer
    It's good that you have fixed that rear steered axle.
  9. M_longer
    After seeing yours I'd go for steering connected to something located above the cab, and maybe mechanism that lowers and unfolds the arms at the same time.

    I was considering making a terra gator, but was sure that it will not look good. You have just shown that it can look great. Awesome model!

    If someone thought that only Lepin steals from MOCers, well you were wrong. One of my followers has shown me this. Basically someone in Netherlands is selling 3/4 parts from 42100 set, with my (cut, removed watermarks,etc) instructions. And even with stolen photos from Eric. Also, they are offering instructions too. https://www.bol.com/nl/p/liebherr-pr-776-lego-bulldozer-technisch-bouwpakket-exclusief-limited-model-toy-brick-lighting-dozer-3000-bouwstenen/9300000025852121/ Thoughts?

    An alternate model for 42122 Jeep Wrangler. Based on trophy trucks: Featuring front wheel steering, suspsension with shock absorbers on both axles and jerry cans ;) This model uses 100% of parts from 42122 set, with a little cheat for drum winch, used as a spacer under the spare wheel. The Wrangler does not come with many gears, but I managed to build a contraption allowing to have HoG steering by gear on the roof. There are two jerry cans instead of passenger seats : Doors can be opened: And here's the video: Instructions can be found at Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-62805/M_longer/42122-trophy-truck/ Sample pages:

    That high part count may be caused by higly detailed blade, with more curves like this one:

    Please please please record its hard landing in slow motion :)

    You will have a lot of friction on actuators used for elevation.
  16. M_longer
    No differential at front in a machine that has articulated chassis will generate stress on the drivetrain elements.

    PF XL motor is almost twice as powerfull as C+ one.
  19. M_longer
    Ladies and Gents, let's face it: In next few years CaDa motors and steering will become only way to build MOCs made trough PF era. Power Functions motors will be retired soon, and C+ motors are not a replacement for them, because they are bulkier and weaker. Of course buying used parts will be still possible, but I think that having 2 motors in price of one will be tempting. Thoughts?
  20. M_longer
    Thank you, I'm doing my best :)
  21. M_longer
    It would require rebuilding of the main frame, because most of moving parts are connected to XL and L motors side holes.
  22. M_longer
    Yes:

    42114 Wheel Dozer WIP Another alternate model in the making. Fully compatible with Control+ 42114 profile, with 3 drive gears + blade movement (in place of bed elevation). Working fake R6 engine and two working fans behind the cab. Loosely inspired by CAT Wheel Dozers (834K mostly). It is still a work in progress model, so some things will be changed, maybe stickers and rear wheel arches will be taken off, because it is definitelly not a Volvo

    I have been playing with 42114 and its "gorgeous app" trough our exhibition last weekend and OH MY GOD why this thing needs up to 3 minutes to calibrate? And why using Buwizz app for the steering and driving is far way smoother and easier than LEGO C+ app? If Buwizz app would support centering the servo motor, I'd never use C+ app again.

    Not quite :) Also, comparison with our first 42100 alternate, the Skid Steer Loader:
